Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways,Oh corre, oh corre, oh fugitivos,

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runawaysOh corre, oh corre, oh fugitivos

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

Daddy hit you in a temper,Papá te golpeó en un arranque,

But he's sorry now,Pero ahora está arrepentido,

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

Just a quarrel had with mummy,Solo una pelea tuvo con mamá,

Just a family rowSolo una discusión familiar

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

You caught mum chasing dad with a knife,Te sorprendiste viendo a mamá persiguiendo a papá con un cuchillo,

(Don't cry, don't cry)(No llores, no llores)

You ran away to escape from the fights,Escapaste para huir de las peleas,

(Don't cry, don't cry)(No llores, no llores)

Now you're lost in a maze of neon light,Ahora estás perdido en un laberinto de luces de neón,

And she's worried,Y ella está preocupada,

He's worriedÉl está preocupado

She's worried, oh...Ella está preocupada, oh...

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways,Oh corre, oh corre, oh fugitivos,

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runawaysOh corre, oh corre, oh fugitivos

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

Pacing street-lamps on the highway,Caminando entre farolas en la carretera,

Haystack for your bedUn montón de paja como tu cama

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

In the morning we will find you,Por la mañana te encontraremos,

In papers to be readEn los periódicos por leer

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

You heard screams fromEscuchaste gritos desde

The warmth of your bedEl calor de tu cama

(Don't cry, don't cry)(No llores, no llores)

You slumbered on without being fedDormiste sin ser alimentado

(Don't cry, don't cry)(No llores, no llores)

Now there's no more tears to be shed,Ahora no hay más lágrimas que derramar,

And she's sorry,Y ella está arrepentida,

He's sorry,Él está arrepentido,

He's sorry, oh...Él está arrepentido, oh...

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways,Oh corre, oh corre, oh fugitivos,

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runawaysOh corre, oh corre, oh fugitivos

(Please come home)(Por favor, regresen a casa)
