Un Tropezón

A Stumble

Un Tropezón

Please, officer, let me go!¡Por favor, lárgueme agente!
Don't make me feel embarrassed.No me haga pasar vergüenza.
I am a decent man,Yo soy un hombre decente,
I can guarantee it.Se lo puedo garantir.
I had a bad momentHe tenido un mal momento
When I ran into that evil woman,Al toparme a esa malvada,
But I don't plan to do anything to her,Mas no pienso hacerle nada,
Why bother! She's already dead to me.¡Para qué! Ya se ha muerto para mí.

A stumbleUn tropezón
Anyone can have in life,Cualquiera da en la vida,
And the heartY el corazón
Learns to live that way.Aprende así a vivir.

I pulled her out of her mud one dayD'entre su barro la saqué un día
And with love, I wanted her at my altar.Y con amor la quise hasta mi altar.
But they say that the goat goes to the mountainPero bien dicen que la cabra al monte tira
And once again, the saying was right.Y una vez más razón tuvo el refrán.
I was a big fool for those slick ones,Fui un gran otario para esos vivos,
Poor playboys of the cabaret,Pobres donjuanes de cabaret,
I was a big fool because I loved herFui un gran otario porque la quise
Like they will never be able to love.Como ellos nunca podrán querer.

Just take me away, officer,Lléveme nomás agente,
It's better if you don't let me go.Es mejor que no me largue.
God forbid I get bitterNo quiera dios que me amargue
Remembering her betrayal.Recordando su traición.
And forgetting everything,Y olvidándome de todo
I give myself to my heartA mi corazón me entregue
And when I see her again, I go blind,Y al volverla a ver me ciegue,
And right there...Y ahí nomás...
Take me, it will be better!¡Lléveme, será mejor!
