Bertha

Tuve una carrera dura, huyendo de tu ventana
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window.
Estuve toda la noche corriendo, corriendo, Señor. Me pregunto si te importa
I was all night running, running, Lord I wonder if you care,
Tuve una corrida, corrí y corrí hacia abajo
I had a run in, run around, and run down.
Corre a la vuelta de la esquina, el Señor corre a golpear a un árbol
Run around the corner, corner, Lord run smack in to a tree.

Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
I had to move, really had to move,
Por eso, por favor, estoy de rodillas flexiones
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha ya no vengas por aquí
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

Me vestí de verde, bajé al mar
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea.
Trata de ver lo que está pasando, trata de leer entre líneas
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines.
Tenía la sensación de que me caía, caía, caía, caía
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin',
Me di la vuelta para ver
I turned around to see,
Oí una voz al llamar, Señor que venías por mí
Heard a voice al callin', Lord you was comin' after me.

Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
I had to move, really had to move,
Por eso, si por favor, estoy de rodillas
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin knees,
Bertha ya no vengas por aquí
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

Me encontré con una tormenta de lluvia, me agaché de nuevo a Novato
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into Novato.
Es toda la noche echando, echando, echando
It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin',
Señor, pero ni una gota sobre mí
Lord but not a drop on me.
Pruébame, pruébame
Test me, test me,
Pruébame, pruébame, mírame
Test me, test me, test me,
¿Por qué no me arrestas?
Why don't you arrest me?
Lánzame a la cárcel
Throw me in to the jailhouse,
Señor hasta que se ponga el sol, hasta que se ponga
Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down.

Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
I had to move, really had to move,
Por eso, por favor, estoy de rodillas flexiones
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha ya no vengas por aquí
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

Tuve que mudarme, realmente tuve que mover
I had to move, really had to move,
Por eso, por favor, estoy de rodillas flexiones

Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
