Railroad Boy

No cantaré tu fea canciónI will not sing your ugly song
No actuaré en tu feo espectáculoI won't put on your ugly play
No puedo unirme a tu feo sacerdocioI cannot join your ugly priesthood
Y si muero, no volveré a casaAnd if I die I won't come home
Chico del ferrocarril mío...Railroad boy of mine...
Te compré cuervos y candelabrosI bought you crows and candelabra
Y fui a comer polillas contigoAnd I went moth-eating with you
Te sostuve cuando tenías convulsionesI held you down when you had seizures
Y te leí cuentos antes de dormirAnd read to you at bedtime
Chico del ferrocarril mío...Railroad boy of mine...
Fuimos a ver una presa de castoresWe went to see a beaver dam
Fuimos a ver un arrecife de coralWe went to see a coral reef
Pero la vida es más que ir a ver cosasBut life is more than going to see things
Y eso es una lástimaAnd that's too bad
