Behind You

Twas with no surprise I could feel his eyesSin sorpresa sentí sus ojos

A-comin' straight through the back of my headPenetrando por la parte de atrás de mi cabeza

So I took my flight by the pale moonlightAsí que tomé mi vuelo a la luz pálida de la luna

No instinct to guide me, I fledSin instinto que me guiara, huí

"If I catch you still with my wife I'll kill you, boy""Si te encuentro con mi esposa, te mataré, chico"

That's what he told me beforeEso es lo que me dijo antes

I didn't pay no heed cause she said I'd needNo le hice caso porque ella dijo que lo necesitaría

So I kept going back there for moreAsí que seguí volviendo por más

Look out behind you, all rightCuidado detrás de ti, está bien

If you don't leave it aloneSi no lo dejas en paz

He's gonna hound you all nightTe perseguirá toda la noche

Said slow down boy and they'll carry you homeDijo, baja la velocidad chico y te llevarán a casa

There could be no way I was going to stayNo había forma de que me quedara

With a man like that on my heelCon un hombre así pisándome los talones

He was six foot four and could eat a doorEra de seis pies cuatro y podía comerse una puerta

And his fists were like great blocks of steelY sus puños eran como grandes bloques de acero

But his wife was rude and it seemed so goodPero su esposa era grosera y parecía tan bueno

To have fun while he was awayDivertirse mientras él estaba fuera

While he lived in hope of the sale of soapMientras él vivía con la esperanza de la venta de jabón

Like the cat and the mouse we would playComo el gato y el ratón jugaríamos

Look out behind you, all rightCuidado detrás de ti, está bien

If you don't leave it aloneSi no lo dejas en paz

He's gonna hound you all nightTe perseguirá toda la noche

Said slow down boy and they'll carry you homeDijo, baja la velocidad chico y te llevarán a casa

It was late that night when he came insideEra tarde esa noche cuando entró

I could see through the glass by the doorPodía ver a través del cristal de la puerta

For his key had stuck and I praised my luckPorque su llave se atascó y alabé mi suerte

As I dived from the bed to the floorCuando me lancé de la cama al suelo

When I heard him yell like a bat from hellCuando lo escuché gritar como un demonio del infierno

I was out enough down the roadYa estaba lo suficientemente lejos en el camino

Twas with no surprise I could feel his eyesSin sorpresa sentí sus ojos

And imagine the gun that he'd loadE imaginé la pistola que cargaría

Right up behind me all rightJusto detrás de mí, está bien

Cos I couldn't leave it alonePorque no pude dejarlo en paz

He will hound me all nightMe perseguirá toda la noche

Said, slow down boy and they'll carry you homeDijo, baja la velocidad chico y te llevarán a casa
