Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
hot air hangs like a dead manEl aire caliente cuelga como un hombre muerto
from a white oak treede un roble blanco
people sitting on porchespersonas sentadas en los porches
thinking how things used to bepensando cómo solían ser las cosas
dark nightnoche oscura
dark nightnoche oscura
the neighborhood was changingel vecindario estaba cambiando
strangers moving inextraños mudándose
a new boy fell for a local girlun chico nuevo se enamoró de una chica local
when she made eyes at himcuando ella le coqueteaba
she was young and prettyera joven y bonita
no stranger to other menno era ajena a otros hombres
but doors were being locked at nightpero las puertas se cerraban por la noche
old lines were drawn againviejas líneas se trazaban de nuevo
(Chorus)(Coro)
I thought things like thatPensé que cosas como esas
didn't matter anymoreya no importaban
I thought all the bloodpensé que toda la sangre
had been shed long agose había derramado hace mucho tiempo
dark nightnoche oscura
dark nightnoche oscura
he took her to the outskirtsla llevó a las afueras
and pledged his love to hery le juró amor
they thought it was their secretpensaron que era su secreto
but someone knew where they werepero alguien sabía dónde estaban
he held her so closela abrazó tan fuerte
he asked about her dreamsle preguntó sobre sus sueños
there was a shot from a passing carhubo un disparo desde un auto que pasaba
and the young girl screamedy la joven chica gritó
(repeat chorus)(repetir coro)
