David david abrogate it,David david abrógate,

Turning nurses into wine,Convirtiendo enfermeras en vino,

Your barbour jacket, missing dimple;Tu chaqueta de barbero, falta de hoyuelo;

Beautifully combine,Hermosamente combinado,

"Criminality, pure and simple",'Criminalidad, pura y simple',

Drips from every trenchant sigh,Gotea de cada suspiro mordaz,

It's like your tense and empty boysEs como si tus chicos tensos y vacíos

Were thatched by such design.Fueran techados por tal diseño.

You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years,Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años,

Putting backs in the corner, making the most of all our fears;Poniendo a todos contra la pared, aprovechando todos nuestros miedos;

You've been getting away, away, away with it night and day,Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con esto noche y día,

Hushing backs in the corner, making the most of things to say;Silenciando a todos en la esquina, sacando el máximo provecho de lo que se dice;

You've been away, away, away, away, away.Has estado lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos.

Every morning, each a teacherCada mañana, cada uno un maestro

Meets a certain type of fate,Se encuentra con un cierto tipo de destino,

The cut of cloth like slow elasticEl corte de tela como elástico lento

Bends until it breaks,Se dobla hasta que se rompe,

This early set resentmentEste resentimiento temprano establecido

Can and will not settle down,No puede ni se asentará,

The words that drip from token lipsLas palabras que gotean de labios simbólicos

Just amplify the sound.Solo amplifican el sonido.

You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years,Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años,

Putting backs in the corner, making the most of all our fears;Poniendo a todos contra la pared, aprovechando todos nuestros miedos;

You've been getting away, away, away with it night and day,Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con esto noche y día,

Hushing backs in the corner, making the most of things to say;Silenciando a todos en la esquina, sacando el máximo provecho de lo que se dice;

You've been away, away, away, away, away.Has estado lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos.

Don't demonstrate with disregard,No demuestres con desdén,

Don't live your life with dreamsNo vivas tu vida con sueños

Of torment in your sullied heart.De tormento en tu corazón manchado.

Don't give a kiss, don't settle down,No des un beso, no te asientes,

If all you need is to break a vow.Si todo lo que necesitas es romper un voto.

You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years.Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años.

Ohh,Ohh,

You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years.Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años.

You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years,Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años,

Putting backs in the corner, making the most of all our fears;Poniendo a todos contra la pared, aprovechando todos nuestros miedos;

You've been getting away, away, away with it night and day,Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con esto noche y día,

Hushing backs in the corner, making the most of things to say;Silenciando a todos en la esquina, sacando el máximo provecho de lo que se dice;

You've been away, away, away, away, away.Has estado lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos.
