Well, the smart money's on HarlowBueno, el dinero inteligente está en Harlow

And the Moon is in the streetY la luna esta en la calle

The shadow boys are breaking all the lawsLos chicos de la sombra están rompiendo todas las leyes

And you're east of East St. LouisY estás al este de East St. Louis

And the wind is making speechesY el viento esta haciendo discursos

And the rain sounds like a round of applauseY la lluvia suena como un aplauso

And Napoleon is weepingY napoleon esta llorando

In the Carnival saloonEn el salón del carnaval

His invisible fiancé is in the mirrorSu prometido invisible está en el espejo

The band is going homeLa banda se va a casa

It's raining hammers, it's raining nailsEstá lloviendo martillos, está lloviendo clavos

Yes, it's true, there's nothing left for him down hereSí, es verdad, no le queda nada aquí abajo

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, time that you loveY es hora, hora, hora de que ames

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And they all pretend they're orphansY todos fingen que son huérfanos

And their memory's like a trainY su memoria es como un tren

You can see it getting smaller as it pulls awayPuedes ver que se hace más pequeño a medida que se aleja

And the things you can't rememberY las cosas que no puedes recordar

Tell the things you can't forgetDile las cosas que no puedes olvidar

That history puts a saint in every dreamQue la historia pone un santo en cada sueño

Well, she said she'd stick aroundBueno, ella dijo que se quedaría

Until the bandages came offHasta que me quitaron los vendajes

But these mamas boys just didn't know when to quitPero estos chicos de mamá simplemente no sabían cuándo dejar de fumar

And Matilda asks the sailorsY Matilda pregunta a los marineros

Are those dreams or are those prayers?¿Son esos sueños o son esas oraciones?

So just close your eyes, sonAsí que cierra los ojos, hijo

And this won't hurt a bitY esto no dolerá un poco

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, time that you loveY es hora, hora, hora de que ames

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girlBueno, las cosas están bastante mal para una chica de calendario

The boys just dive right off the carsLos chicos simplemente se zambullen de los autos

And splash into the streetY chapotear en la calle

And when they're on a rollY cuando están en racha

She pulls a razor from her bootElla saca una navaja de su bota

And a thousand pigeons fall around her feetY mil palomas caen a sus pies

So put a candle in the windowAsí que pon una vela en la ventana

And a kiss upon his lipsY un beso en sus labios

As the dish outside the window fills with rainMientras el plato fuera de la ventana se llena de lluvia

Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heartComo un extraño con la maleza en tu corazón

And pay the fiddler off till I come back againY paga al violinista hasta que vuelva de nuevo

Oh, it's time, time, timeOh, es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, time that you loveY es hora, hora, hora de que ames

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora

And it's time, time, time that you loveY es hora, hora, hora de que ames

And it's time, time, timeY es hora, hora, hora
