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
