They say that Richard CoryDicen que Richard Cory
Owns one-half of this here townEs dueño de la mitad de esta ciudad
With political connectionsCon conexiones políticas
Spread his wealth aroundDistribuye su riqueza por doquier
Born into society, a banker's only childNacido en la sociedad, hijo único de un banquero
He had everything a man could wantTenía todo lo que un hombre podría desear
Power, grace and stylePoder, gracia y estilo
But I, work in his factoryPero yo trabajo en su fábrica
And I curse the life I'm livin'Y maldigo la vida que llevo
And I curse my povertyY maldigo mi pobreza
That I wish that I could beQue desearía poder ser
Yeah, I wish that I could beSí, desearía poder ser
Lord, I wish that I could be, Richard CorySeñor, desearía poder ser, Richard Cory
Paper's print his picturesLos periódicos imprimen sus fotos
Almost everywhere he goCasi en todos lados a donde va
Richard Cory at the operaRichard Cory en la ópera
Richard Cory at the showRichard Cory en el espectáculo
And the rumours of his a-partiesY los rumores de sus fiestas
And the orgies on his yachtY las orgías en su yate
Well, he surely must be happyBueno, seguramente debe ser feliz
With everythang that he has gotCon todo lo que tiene
But I, work in his factoryPero yo trabajo en su fábrica
And I curse the life I'm livin'Y maldigo la vida que llevo
And I curse my povertyY maldigo mi pobreza
And I wish that I could beY desearía poder ser
I wish that I could be, yea-ahDesearía poder ser, sí
I wish that I could be, Richard CoryDesearía poder ser, Richard Cory
He freely gave to charityÉl daba generosamente a la caridad
And had that common touchY tenía ese toque común
They were grateful for his patronageEstaban agradecidos por su patrocinio
And thanked him very muchY le agradecían mucho
So my mind was filled with wonderAsí que mi mente se llenó de asombro
When the evenin' headlines readCuando los titulares de la noche decían
That Richard Cory went home last nightQue Richard Cory se fue a casa anoche
And put a bullet through his head, huY se disparó en la cabeza, hu
But I, I, I, work in his factoryPero yo, yo, yo, trabajo en su fábrica
And I, I don't don't dig the life I'm livin'Y yo, yo no soporto la vida que llevo
And I don't dig my povertyY no soporto mi pobreza
And I wish that I could beY desearía poder ser
Yeah, an' I wish that I could beSí, y desearía poder ser
Well, wish that I could be, Richard CoryBueno, desearía poder ser, Richard Cory
Ay-hey, I wish that I could beAy, desearía poder ser
I wish that I could beDesearía poder ser
Sometime, I wish that I could beA veces, desearía poder ser
