Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Jack is your neighbor-you see him every dayJuan es tu vecino, lo ves todos los días
(He) picks up his paper and he throws you a waveRecoge su periódico y te saluda con la mano
An ordinary man-seems like a heck of a guyUn hombre común, parece ser un tipo genial
An adverage day in his adverage lifeUn día promedio en su vida promedio
He hugs his kids and he kisses his wifeAbraza a sus hijos y besa a su esposa
Then drives his minivan to his nine-to-fiveLuego conduce su minivan a su trabajo de nueve a cinco
No onw knew a thing 'til they caught him on tapeNadie sabía nada hasta que lo atraparon en video
Breaking into cars at the YMCARobando autos en el YMCA
Chorus:Coro:
Did you hear about Jack?¿Escuchaste sobre Juan?
Everybody's talkingTodos están hablando
It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walkingNo era tan recto y estrecho el camino que estaba siguiendo
No one can believe he would ever do a thing like thatNadie puede creer que alguna vez haría algo así
But then you don't know JackPero entonces no conoces a Juan
Ther's more tho this story that we haven't heard yetHay más en esta historia que aún no hemos escuchado
But it seems our friend Jack had some gambling debtParece que nuestro amigo Juan tenía deudas de juego
That got out of hand-and he couldn't payQue se salieron de control y no pudo pagar
And his eighty grand a year doesn't cover his billsY sus ochenta mil al año no cubren sus cuentas
When he spends it all on prostitutes and pillsCuando lo gasta todo en prostitutas y pastillas
But a desperate man is going to find a wayPero un hombre desesperado encontrará una manera
A wallet lying on the front seat of a carUna billetera en el asiento delantero de un auto
Couldn't solve all his problemsNo resolvería todos sus problemas
But it's a good startPero es un buen comienzo
Chorus:Coro:
Did you hear about Jack?¿Escuchaste sobre Juan?
Everybody's talkingTodos están hablando
It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walkingNo era tan recto y estrecho el camino que estaba siguiendo
No one can believe he would ever do a thing like thatNadie puede creer que alguna vez haría algo así
But then you don't know JackPero entonces no conoces a Juan
Late last night, Jack went for a driveAnoche tarde, Juan salió a dar una vuelta
He had a revelation down on I-65Tuvo una revelación en la carretera I-65
He'd be worth more deadValdría más muerto
Than he was aliveQue vivo
Did you hear about Jack?¿Escuchaste sobre Juan?
It's all over townEstá en boca de todos
They're not really sure about the way it went downNo están seguros de cómo sucedió realmente
No one ca believe he would ever do a thing like thatNadie puede creer que alguna vez haría algo así
But the you don't know JackPero entonces no conoces a Juan
No you don't know JackNo, no conoces a Juan
