Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Jack Candy was as old as my fatherJack Candy era tan viejo como mi padre
But still I took a likin' to himPero aun así me gustaba
He said: "You will be somebody's treasure,Dijo: «Serás el tesoro de alguien
But no one has discovered you yet."Pero nadie te ha descubierto todavía
Jack Candy lived on Sky Valley RoadJack Candy vivió en Sky Valley Road
And that's where he did business I guessY ahí es donde hizo negocios, supongo
Some say he sold a suitcase of cocaineAlgunos dicen que vendió una maleta de cocaína
But he never showed me any of thatPero nunca me mostró nada de eso
This is a story that I've prayed to tell X2Esta es una historia que he rezado para contar X2
About the day they drove him from this townSobre el día que lo llevaron de esta ciudad
About the day I lost: Jack CandySobre el día que perdí: Jack Candy
I was walkin' up to Jack Candy's trailerEstaba caminando hasta la caravana de Jack Candy
When he shouted that I('d) better head homeCuando gritó que era mejor que me fuera a casa
The curtains closed as he went back insideLas cortinas se cerraron mientras volvía adentro
And I trembled 'cause he wasn't aloneY temblé porque no estaba solo
This is a story that I've prayed to tell X2Esta es una historia que he rezado para contar X2
About the day they drove him from this townSobre el día que lo llevaron de esta ciudad
About the day I lost: Jack CandySobre el día que perdí: Jack Candy
Some say they took him out to a clearin'Algunos dicen que lo llevaron a un claro
And made him crawl until he confessedY lo hizo arrastrarse hasta que confesó
Some say they hung him up by his bootstrapsAlgunos dicen que lo colgaron de sus botas
Some say they let him swing in the windAlgunos dicen que le dejan balancearse en el viento
I walked along (the) Sky Valley RoadCaminé a lo largo de (el) Sky Valley Road
And out onto the great northern bridgeY hacia el gran puente norte
And for hours I stared into the coldY durante horas me quedé mirando hacia el frío
Sick and tired of denying I loved himEnfermo y cansado de negar que lo amaba
This is a story that I've prayed to tell X2Esta es una historia que he rezado para contar X2
About the day they drove him from this town X2Sobre el día que lo llevaron de esta ciudad X2
I've lived a lie and I have lived it wellHe vivido una mentira y la he vivido bien
This is the story that I've prayed to tellEsta es la historia que he rezado para contar
About a love and how I let him downSobre un amor y cómo lo defraudé
About the day I lost: Jack CandySobre el día que perdí: Jack Candy
