Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Every morning he got up dreading each moment he had to be awakeCada mañana se levantaba temiendo cada momento que tenía que estar despierto
He'd look at the floor and scribble on gum wrappersMiraba el suelo y garabateaba en envoltorios de goma
He never found a better way to joke aroundNunca encontró una mejor manera de bromear
The clock would tick, time was slowEl reloj marcaba, el tiempo era lento
There wasn't anywhere that he wouldn't go to avoidNo había ningún lugar que no fuera a evitar
Having to see anyoneTener que ver a alguien
He'd sit in a chair and lean against the wallSe sentaba en una silla y se apoyaba contra la pared
He just didn't seem to matter much at allNo parecía importar mucho en absoluto
But late at night, he had a saviorPero tarde en la noche, tenía un salvador
In his sleep, in his dreamsEn su sueño, en sus sueños
She came to him and she saidElla vino a él y le dijo
Poor you, poor youPobre de ti, pobre de ti
No one understands youNadie te entiende
Poor you, poor youPobre de ti, pobre de ti
And every word that everyone would sayY cada palabra que todos dirían
Got mumbled up in his headSe murmuró en su cabeza
Like mumblejumble and everywhere he wentComo mumblejumble y dondequiera que iba
It seemed everyone was saying to himParecía que todo el mundo le estaba diciendo
Blah Blah BlahBla, bla, bla
But late at night, he had a mistressPero tarde en la noche, tenía una amante
In his dreams, in his sleep,En sus sueños, en su sueño
And she would sayY ella decía
Poor you, poor youPobre de ti, pobre de ti
No one understands youNadie te entiende
Poor you, poor youPobre de ti, pobre de ti
This story, though not well told, is not that oldEsta historia, aunque no está bien contada, no es tan antigua
It's not that funny, it's not that greatNo es tan gracioso, no es tan genial
But I know it to be truePero sé que es verdad
Because late at night, I have an angelPorque tarde en la noche, tengo un ángel
In my dreams, in my sleepEn mis sueños, en mi sueño
And as she runs her fingers through my hairY mientras ella pasa sus dedos por mi pelo
As I lay on her lap and she saysMientras yacía en su regazo y ella dice
Poor you, poor youPobre de ti, pobre de ti
No one understands youNadie te entiende
Poor you, poor youPobre de ti, pobre de ti
