Shoulda

I should have been poor white trash,Debería haber sido pobre escoria blanca,

But I had too much education.Pero tuve demasiada educación.

I would have been a long-hair,Hubiera sido un hippie,

But it just refused to grow.Pero simplemente se negaba a crecer.

I could have been president,Podría haber sido presidente,

But I had all the wrong relationships:Pero tuve todas las relaciones equivocadas:

Loose lips, juicy gossips, people I don't know.Labios sueltos, chismes jugosos, gente que no conozco.

I should have been mother-of-the-year,Debería haber sido la madre del año,

But I forgot which end to paddle.Pero olvidé por dónde remar.

I would have been a waitress,Hubiera sido mesera,

But I didn't hold my tongue.Pero no me callaba.

I could have been a desert guide,Podría haber sido guía del desierto,

But I got bitten by a rattlesnake.Pero fui mordida por una serpiente cascabel.

Tough break, hope and heartache wasted on the young.Dura ruptura, esperanza y desamor desperdiciados en los jóvenes.

Oh, rock me easy.Oh, méceame suavemente.

Roll me like a wave.Rueda como una ola.

Rock my soul in the bosom of the sea;Mueve mi alma en el seno del mar;

There's nothing left to save.No queda nada por salvar.

Meet you on the other side of the grave.Nos vemos en el otro lado de la tumba.

I should have been Diamond Lil,Debería haber sido Diamond Lil,

But I'm a second-hand attraction.Pero soy una atracción de segunda mano.

I would have learned my lessons,Hubiera aprendido mis lecciones,

But I never had the class.Pero nunca tuve clase.

I could have been poor white trash,Podría haber sido pobre escoria blanca,

But I'm a renegade reactionary:Pero soy una reaccionaria renegada:

Wary, slightly scary with a heart of glassCautelosa, un poco aterradora con un corazón de cristal
