Un Tropezón

A Stumble

Un Tropezón

Please, let me go, officerPor favor, lárgueme, agente
Don't make me feel embarrassedNo me haga pasar vergüenza
I am a decent manYo soy un hombre decente
I can guarantee itSe lo puedo garantir
I had a bad momentHe tenido un mal momento
When I ran into that evil womanAl toparme a esa malvada
But I won't do anything to herMás no pienso hacerle nada
Why! She's already dead to me!¡Para qué! ¡Ya se ha muerto para mí!

A stumbleUn tropezón
Anyone has in lifeCualquiera da en la vida
And the heartY el corazón
Learns to live this wayAprende así a vivir

I pulled her out of her mud one dayD'entre su barro la saqué un día
And with love, I wanted to lift her up to meY con amor la quise hasta mí alzar
But they say that the goat goes to the mountainPero bien dicen que la cabra al monte tira
And once again, the saying was rightY una vez más, razón tuvo el refrán
I was a great fool for those cunning onesFui un gran otario para esos vivos
Poor Don Juans of CabaretPobres don Juanes de Cabaret
I was a great fool because I loved herFui un gran otario porque la quise
Like they will never be able to loveComo ellos nunca podrán querer

Just take me, officerLléveme, nomás, agente
It's better that I don't leaveEs mejor que no me largue
May God not let me be bitterNo quiera Dios que me amargue
Remembering her betrayalRecordando su traición
And forgetting everythingY, olvidándome de todo
I gave myself to my heartA mi corazón me entregué
And, seeing her again, I go blindY, al volverla a ver, me ciegue
And, right thereY, ahí nomás
Just take me, it will be betterLléveme, será mejor
