Come on Darling

Dale Darling

I was here you see, thinkingEstaba acá ves, pensando
About life how much one spends escapingEn la vida cuánto uno pasa escapando
Escaping from being poor, from being aloneEscapando de ser pobre, de estar solo
From pain everyone does it their own wayDel dolor cada uno lo hace a su modo
And sometimes escaping running forwardY a veces escapando corriendo hacia adelante
Seeking to numb oneself as long as the body holdsBuscando aturdirse mientras el cuerpo aguante
Escaping from parents, partners, memoriesEscapando de los padres, la pareja, los recuerdos
Routine, failure, defeat, and hellsLa rutina, el fracaso, la derrota y los infiernos

He put poison in the peachLe puso veneno en el durazno
And then called him to eatY entonces lo llamó a comer
The guy was brutish like a donkeyEl tipo era bruto como un asno
And he beat her before and afterY la golpeaba antes y después
She always pretendedElla siempre lo disimulaba
Until one day, one good day she had enoughHasta que un día, un buen día se hartó
Her godmother set up the alibiSu madrina le armó la coartada
And she fled to the big cityY hacia la gran capital huyó
Uh, come on Darling, you can't say noUh, dale Darling, no podés decir que no

She danced on the barElla bailaba sobre la barra
And took care not to drink too muchY se cuidaba de tanto no tomar
Of hands that seem like clawsDe las manos que parecen garras
And mouths that promise too muchY de las bocas que prometen de más
The worst were the bossesLo peor eran los jefes
In my club, baby, I'm the Tsar!¡En mi boliche nena soy el Zar!
Among all she became the strongestEntre todas se hizo la más fuerte
And slowly began to leadY de a poco empezó a liderar
Uh come on Darling, you can't say noUh dale Darling, no podés decir que no
Uh come on Darling, this time I'll pay!Uh dale Darling, esta vez invito yo!

The girl had a friend in the barLa chica tenía un amigo en el bar
Who always listened to her and took her homeQue siempre la escuchaba y la llevaba a su hogar
That night she told him her storyEsa noche ella le contó su historia
And he understood why she never rememberedY él entendió por qué nunca hacía memoria
Today she had seen her policeman brother-in-lawHoy había visto a su cuñado policía
Lurking around her house, just as she was leavingRondando su casa, justo cuando salía
Surely he didn't believe what my godmother saidSeguro no creyó lo que mi madrina dijo
And the guy replied as he stared at herY el pibe contestó mientras la miraba fijo

Let's get on the highwayQue subamos a la autopista
Let's go straight southQue vayamos derecho hacia el Sur
We'll see the sunrise on the road, sleep during the day in BahíaVemos el amanecer en la ruta, dormimos de día en Bahía
Or in Santa Rosa, yes, on Route 5O en Santa Rosa, sí, por la cinco
If you want, you can come with meSi querés podés venir conmigo
We'll cross the desert and moreCruzaremos el desierto y más
It would be good to grab a coatSería bueno que agarrés un abrigo
And let's go right nowY salgamos ahora mismo ya
Uh come on Darling, you can't say noUh dale Darling, no podés decir que no
Uh come on Darling, this time I'll pay!Uh dale Darling, esta vez invito yo!

And you can dance on the tableY podés bailar sobre la mesa
When this rock and roll playsCuando suene este rockandroll
Only peaches for dessertSolamente duraznos de postre
Maybe I'll tell you noCapaz te voy a decir que no

Come on!!Uhhh, dale!!
