A las seis en punto

At Six O'Clock

A las seis en punto

I put the broom downDejo la escoba
Washed my handsse lavo las manos
Kept on singingsiguio cantando
But very softly,pero muy bajito,
Didn't comb her hair, nono se peino, no
Nor did the dishesni lavo los platos
Dropped the cakese le cayó el pastel
And changed her dressy se cambio el vestido

Didn't read the newspapersNo leyo los diarios
What a sadnesspara que tristeza
Because in the endsi al final de cuentas
They always, always say the same thingsiempre, siempre dicen lo mismo,
Didn't want anythingno quiso que nada
To ruin her partyquebrara su fiesta
And when night camey al llegar la noche
She went to bed contentse acosto contenta.

Early in the morningTemprano en la mañana
She woke up radiantse levanto radiante
And wrote with toothpaste on the bathroom mirrory escribio con dentifrico en el espejo del baño
A new nameun nuevo nombre
With her last namecon su apellido.

Raised the glass,Alzo la copa,
The empty glassla copa vacia
And toasted to no one,y brindo por nadie,
Full of joy,llena de alegria,
She said a verse,le dijo un verso,
A verse by Whitmanun verso de Withman
To the swallowa la golondrina
That flew by quicklyque paso de prisa
She hugged the pillowse abrazo a la almohada
And danced with ity la llevo bailando
Tried to smileintento una mueca
Ended up cryingtermino llorando
Was very scaredtuvo mucho miedo
But it was so beautiful,pero fue tan lindo,
At six o'clocka las seis en punto
My friend had a baby.mi amiga tuvo un niño.
