Once this man I knew had a lovely song to sing to meUna vez que este hombre que conocía tenía una canción encantadora que cantarme
All in three: one-two-wee was the way he sangTodo en tres: uno-dos-wee era la forma en que cantaba
With a southern twang, he??Con un twang sureño, él??
A gentle man, we'd owe himUn hombre gentil, le deberíamos
From his dusty days though, he'd been split four waysSin embargo, desde sus días polvorientos, había sido dividido de cuatro maneras
Cut to the bone, left alone too manyCortar hasta el hueso, dejados solos demasiados
It only takes these memories to make me want...sigh...Sólo se necesitan estos recuerdos para hacerme querer... suspiro
Ahh...Ahh
You wanted to survive, had a notion to explain our wayQuerías sobrevivir, tenías la idea de explicarnos nuestro camino
Pending grey and coldnessPendiente gris y frialdad
Tried to woo him to me but the spell I cast was far too weakTrató de cortejármelo, pero el hechizo que hice era demasiado débil
To break him free, who woe himPara liberarlo, que ¡ay de él!
He had a different dance, he had a different songTenía un baile diferente, tenía una canción diferente
He had a different sound to follow homeTenía un sonido diferente que seguir a casa
But he didn't believe itPero él no lo creía
He did not, bay leafNo lo hizo, hoja de laurel
He didn't believe itÉl no lo creyó
He did not, bay leafNo lo hizo, hoja de laurel
He didn't believe it at allÉl no lo creía para nada
He did not, bay leafNo lo hizo, hoja de laurel
He didn't believe itÉl no lo creyó
He did not, bay leafNo lo hizo, hoja de laurel
La la la la la...La
Well he didn't believe itBueno, él no lo creía
He didn't believe it at allÉl no lo creía para nada
He did not, bay leafNo lo hizo, hoja de laurel
He didn't believe it at allÉl no lo creía para nada
He did not, bay leafNo lo hizo, hoja de laurel
He didn't believe itÉl no lo creyó
He did not, bay leafNo lo hizo, hoja de laurel
Made his midnight stand with a pale fistHizo su pie de medianoche con un puño pálido
He took a swing, sight unseen, he sufferedTomó un columpio, vista invisible, sufrió
Pulled his lover to himTiró a su amante hacia él
Made his will about the hands of fateHizo su voluntad sobre las manos del destino
A bit too late, to save himUn poco tarde, para salvarlo
When he went back home and his mom would drown and moldCuando regresaba a casa y su madre se ahogaba y moldeaba
He had a different mood, he had a different styleTenía un estado de ánimo diferente, tenía un estilo diferente
He opened up his love so wideAbrió su amor tan ancho
