| She leaned against the wall
| Ella se apoyó contra la pared
|
| He came in for a kiss
| Entró por un beso
|
| In her hands she held a pen knife
| En sus manos sostenía una navaja
|
| Stuck between his ribs
| Atrapado entre sus costillas
|
| Some of you take him by his cold white hands
| Algunos de ustedes lo toman por sus frías manos blancas
|
| And some of you take him by his feet
| Y algunos de ustedes lo toman por los pies
|
| And throw him in the deep, deep well where
| Y echarlo en el pozo profundo, profundo donde
|
| He should be
| Él debería ser

| Come down, come down now
| Baja, baja ahora
|
| Alight upon my knee
| Desciende sobre mi rodilla
|
| A man who kills his own true love would
| Un hombre que mata a su verdadero amor
|
| Kill a little bird like me
| Mata a un pajarito como yo
|
| If I had my bend and bow, now
| Si tuviera mi curva y arco, ahora
|
| If I had my arrow and my string
| Si tuviera mi flecha y mi cuerda
|
| I’d shoot you through your soul and your yearnings
| Te dispararía a través de tu alma y tus anhelos
|
| Would be in vain
| sería en vano
|
| Be in vain
| ser en vano
|
| Lie there, lie there, lie there
| Acuéstate allí, acuéstate allí, acuéstate allí
|
| 'til the flesh melts off of your bones
| hasta que la carne se derrita de tus huesos
|
| The shallows don’t know you anymore
| Los superficiales ya no te conocen
|
| Now the crabs crawl out of your skull
| Ahora los cangrejos salen de tu cráneo
|
| Some of you take him by his cold white hands
| Algunos de ustedes lo toman por sus frías manos blancas
|
| And some of you take him by his feet
| Y algunos de ustedes lo toman por los pies
|
| And throw him in the deep, deep well where
| Y echarlo en el pozo profundo, profundo donde
|
| He should be
| Él debería ser
