Blues en New
Street
Xa estou farto de
estar aquí sentado
Levantareime para ir ao centro da cidade
Quizá tome un grolo e chame a un amigo
Para pasar o tempo parolando.
Busco nos petos para
ver o que teño
Conto o diñeiro
-hai moi pouco.
A situación é
sempre igual
Teño que saír de
aquí
Este sitio está a
volverme tolo.
Meu Deus! Están
a entrarme os blues de New Street!
Hai case un ano que
abrín esta porta
E preguntei ao meu
amigo se podía durmir no chan.
Deume a benvida e
acolleume.
Díxenlle que algún
día devolvería a súa hospitalidade
Acolleume e o único
que pediu a cambio foi unha canción.
Non me dixo nada
pero xa sabía que as cousas ían mal
En efecto chegaron a
tal punto
Que nos
emborrachábamos todas as noites.
E cada vez
esperabamos que o día seguinte fose mellor.
Meu Deus! Están
a entrarme os blues de New Street!
New
Street Blues
Sitting
here is really bringing me down
I
think I'll get up and go downtown
Have
a drink and maybe look up a friend
To
talk the hours away and hope the night will never end.
Look
in my pockets to see what I've got
I
count my money, I don't have a lot
The
situation is always the same
I've
got to get out of here, this place is driving me insane.
Hold
on, I'm getting the new street blues.
About
a year ago, I knocked on this door
I
asked my friend if I could sleep on the floor
He
took me in, said I was welcome to stay
I
told him then that I was going to pay him back someday.
He
took me in and all he asked was a song
It
didn't sound me when I knew it was wrong
It
got so bad that we were drunk every night
And
I'd pretend that come tomorrow night things would be alright.
Hold
on, I'm getting the new street blues.
