Ella era una mujer dura, con un alma peregrinaShe was a hard, hard woman with a pilgrim soul
Tenía un rostro marcado, de no sé dóndeHad a face all lined from I don’t know
Dónde ha estadoWhere she has been
Pero ahora está aquí conmigoBut now she’s here with me

Nos dirigimos al norte por la 29, pasando por Kansas CityWe headed North on 29 through Kansas City

En la niebla de la nocheIn the late night fog
Había fuegos artificiales para verThere were fireworks to see
Y cuando estoy perdido, eres mi Verdadero NorteAnd when I’m lost, you are my True North
Llevas el peso de mi Cruz del SurCarry the weight of my Southern Cross
Y aunque arde, no temes el dolorAnd though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt
Naciste del polvo, creciste en el barroYou were born from the dust, you were raised in the dirt

Estábamos todos emocionados con el querosenoWe were all hopped up on kerosene
O algo más que arde, parecíaOr something else that burns, it seemed
Que nuncaThat we would never
Apagaríamos el fuegoPut the fire out

Me arrodillé para rezarI got down on my knees to pray
Olvidé las palabras que solía decirForgot the words I used to say
Cuando era jovenWhen I was young
Cada noche antes de acostarmeEach night ‘fore I laid down
