Bertha
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window.
I was all night running, running, Lord I wonder if you care,
I had a run in, run around, and run down.
Run around the corner, corner, Lord run smack in to a tree.
I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea.
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines.
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin',
I turned around to see,
Heard a voice al callin', Lord you was comin' after me.
I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into Novato.
It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin',
Lord but not a drop on me.
Test me, test me,
Test me, test me, test me,
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in to the jailhouse,
Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down.
I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Berta
Tuve una carrera dura, huyendo de tu ventana
Estuve toda la noche corriendo, corriendo, Señor. Me pregunto si te importa
Tuve una corrida, corrí y corrí hacia abajo
Corre a la vuelta de la esquina, el Señor corre a golpear a un árbol
Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
Por eso, por favor, estoy de rodillas flexiones
Bertha ya no vengas por aquí
Me vestí de verde, bajé al mar
Trata de ver lo que está pasando, trata de leer entre líneas
Tenía la sensación de que me caía, caía, caía, caía
Me di la vuelta para ver
Oí una voz al llamar, Señor que venías por mí
Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
Por eso, si por favor, estoy de rodillas
Bertha ya no vengas por aquí
Me encontré con una tormenta de lluvia, me agaché de nuevo a Novato
Es toda la noche echando, echando, echando
Señor, pero ni una gota sobre mí
Pruébame, pruébame
Pruébame, pruébame, mírame
¿Por qué no me arrestas?
Lánzame a la cárcel
Señor hasta que se ponga el sol, hasta que se ponga
Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
Por eso, por favor, estoy de rodillas flexiones
Bertha ya no vengas por aquí
Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
Por eso, por favor, estoy de rodillas flexiones
Bertha ya no vengas por aquí
