Samson and Delilah
If I had my way, I would tear this old building down.
Well Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair,
She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair,
Delilah she gained old Samson's mind.
When first he saw this woman, you know he couldn't believe his mind.
Delilah she climbed up on Samson's knee,
Said tell me where your strength lies if you please.
She spoke so kind and she talked so fair,
Well Samson said, Delilah cut off my hair.
You can shave my head, clean as my hand
And my strength will become as natural as any old man.
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building down.
You read about Samson, all from his works,
He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth.
One day when Samson was walking along,
Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jawbone.
He stretched out his arm, God knows, chains broke like thread,
When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead.
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building down.
Now Samson and the lion, they got in a tack,
Samson he crawled up on the lion's back.
You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws,
But Samson got his hands around that lion's jaws.
He ripped the beast till he killed him dead.
The bees made honey in the lion's head.
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building down.
Sansón y Dalila
Si tuviera mi camino, derribaría este viejo edificio.
Bueno, Dalila era una mujer, era hermosa y justa,
tenía buena apariencia, Dios sabe, y cabello negro como el carbón,
Dalila conquistó la mente de Sansón.
Cuando primero vio a esta mujer, sabes que no podía creer su mente.
Dalila se sentó en la rodilla de Sansón,
dijo dime dónde está tu fuerza si puedes por favor.
Ella hablaba tan amable y tan justa,
bueno, Sansón dijo, Dalila, corta mi cabello.
Puedes afeitarme la cabeza, limpia como mi mano
y mi fuerza se volverá tan natural como la de cualquier hombre viejo.
Si tuviera mi camino, si tuviera mi camino, si tuviera mi camino,
derribaría este viejo edificio.
Leíste sobre Sansón, todo por sus obras,
era el hombre más fuerte que jamás haya vivido en la tierra.
Un día cuando Sansón caminaba,
miró hacia abajo en el suelo, vio una mandíbula vieja.
Extendió su brazo, Dios sabe, las cadenas se rompieron como hilo,
cuando comenzó a moverse, diez mil estaban muertos.
Si tuviera mi camino, si tuviera mi camino, si tuviera mi camino,
derribaría este viejo edificio.
Ahora Sansón y el león, se enzarzaron,
Sansón se subió a la espalda del león.
Leíste sobre este león, mató a un hombre con sus garras,
pero Sansón puso sus manos alrededor de las mandíbulas del león.
Desgarró a la bestia hasta matarla.
Las abejas hicieron miel en la cabeza del león.
Si tuviera mi camino, si tuviera mi camino, si tuviera mi camino,
derribaría este viejo edificio.
