Vamos Eileen

Badly Drawn Boy

Come On Eileen

( Dexy's Midnight Runners cover )

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers


Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
Remember
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen oh I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, Ah come on Eileen
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
Please...

Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye
Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye
Toora toora-too-loora

Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh Eileen
Come on Eileen, these things they are real and I know
how you feel
Now I must say more than ever
things round here have changed
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye

Vamos Eileen

Pobre viejo Johnny Ray
Sonaba triste en la radio
Movió un millón de corazones en mono
Nuestras madres lloraron
Cantaron junto, ¿quién las culparía?
Ahora estás crecida, tan crecida, ahora debo decir más que nunca
Vamos Eileen, oh lo juro (lo que él quiere)
En este momento, significas todo
Contigo en ese vestido mis pensamientos confieso
Rozan lo sucio
Ah vamos Eileen

La gente por aquí tiene ojos cansados
Hundidos en rostros secos de humo
Están resignados a su destino
Pero no nosotros (nunca), no nosotros (nunca)
Somos demasiado jóvenes e inteligentes
Recuerda
Vamos Eileen, oh lo juro (lo que él quiere)
Ah vamos, quitémoslo todo
Ese bonito vestido rojo Eileen (dile que sí)
Ah vamos, ah vamos Eileen
Ese bonito vestido rojo, Eileen (dile que sí)
Ah vamos, ah vamos Eileen
Por favor...

Vamos Eileen, too-loo rye-aye
Vamos Eileen, too-loo rye-aye
Toora toora-too-loora

Ahora has crecido, ahora has demostrado, oh Eileen
Vamos Eileen, estas cosas son reales y sé cómo te sientes
Ahora debo decir más que nunca
las cosas por aquí han cambiado
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye
