Bertha

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

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

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

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

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

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