Goodnight, Irene
Saturday night we got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene you were in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country bay
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown
Refrão
Stop rambling, stop your gambling
Stop stayin' out at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there to your fireside bright
Refrão (repete até o fim)
Buenas noches, Irene
El sábado por la noche nos casamos
Mi esposa y yo nos asentamos
Ahora mi esposa y yo estamos separados
Voy a dar otro paseo por el centro
Irene buenas noches, Irene buenas noches
Buenas noches Irene, buenas noches Irene
Irene, estabas en mis sueños
A veces vivo en la bahía del campo
A veces vivo en la ciudad
A veces tomo una gran idea
Para saltar en el río y ahogarse
Refrão
Deja de divagar, deja de jugar
Deja de quedarte fuera por la noche
Vete a casa con tu esposa y familia
Quédate allí a tu chimenea brillante
Refrão (repete até o fim)
