Unusual Child

Niño Inusual

Unusual Child

Al amanecer y él se habría idoSun up and he'd be gone
En una correa de cuero alrededor de su cuelloOn a leather strap around his neck
Llevaba un cuerno de toro blanco.He wore a white bull horn.
Él sería un indio por un díaHe would be an Indian for a day
Montando a pelo en la llanuraRiding bareback on the range
Se llamaba a sí mismo CochiseHe called himself Cochise
Pero su nombre era Jimmy.But Jimmy was his name.

Era un James Dean del oesteHe was a western James Dean
Era un rebelde, jugaba salvajeHe was a rebel he played wild
Era el primogénito en mi familia de cincoHe was the first born in my family of five
Era un niño muy inusual,He was a most unusual,
Muy inusualMost unusual
Niño inusual.Unusual child.

Estaba Frankie y estaba BillyThere was Frankie and there was Billy
Pero Jimmy era mi favoritoOh but Jimmy was my favourite one
Me parece bastante extrañoSeems rather strange to me
Cuando pienso en lo que hizo.When I think of what he'd done.
Tantas veces me preguntoSo many times I wonder
De qué se trataba JimmyWhat Jimmy was all about
Era dulce, era locoHe was sweet, he was crazy
Y estaba al revés.And he was inside out.

Jimmy sabía que moriría jovenJimmy knew he'd die young
No había nada que no intentaraThere wasn't anything he wouldn't try
Una noche intentó demasiadoOne night he tried too hard
Adiós Jimmy,Goodbye Jimmy,
Adiós.Goodbye.
