Comin in on a Wing and a Prayer
When a fellow has the blues he feels discouraged
And there's nothing else but trouble all his life
When he's always crumbled there and never happy
Living with a scold and aggravating wife
If he's sick and tired of life takes the drinking
Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown
Do not fail to lend a hand and try to help him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he stays out late at night because he's worried
And because his home is not what it should be
Ever smile for him wherever you should meet him
It would help him the right way, don't you see
If he gambles when he's in the town or city
Tell him what he ought to do to gain the crown
Lend a hand and do not fail to show him pity
Always lift him up and never knock him down
[He cannot pace this, he feels disgusted ]???
If he's blue he doesn't have a word to say
Let him know you as friend can be trusted
It would cheer this lonely fellow on his way
If he finds it hard for him to keep his family
[Let a kind word greet him when he's around ]???
Don't say anything at all to make against him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
[If he has no friends, never warns against him ]???
If he's failed at everything that he has tried
Try to lift his load, help him bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
And if he feels that all is lost, he's falling
[Try to place ... and feet on solid ground ]???
Just remember he's a mother precious darling
Always lift him up and never knock him down
Always lift him up and never knock him down
Llegando con una oración y un ala
Cuando un tipo tiene el bajón se siente desanimado
Y no hay nada más que problemas en toda su vida
Cuando siempre se desmorona y nunca es feliz
Viviendo con una regañona y una esposa irritante
Si está harto de la vida y recurre a la bebida
No lo ignores, no lo recibas con ceño fruncido
No dejes de tenderle una mano e intentar ayudarlo
Siempre levántalo y nunca lo derribes
Si sale tarde por la noche porque está preocupado
Y porque su hogar no es lo que debería ser
Sonríele siempre dondequiera que lo encuentres
Le ayudaría de la manera correcta, ¿no lo ves?
Si apuesta cuando está en la ciudad o el pueblo
Dile lo que debería hacer para ganar la corona
Extiende una mano y no dejes de mostrarle compasión
Siempre levántalo y nunca lo derribes
[No puede soportar esto, se siente asqueado]???
Si está triste no tiene una palabra que decir
Hazle saber que como amigo puedes ser de confianza
Alegraría a este tipo solitario en su camino
Si le resulta difícil mantener a su familia
[Que una palabra amable lo reciba cuando esté cerca]???
No digas nada en absoluto en su contra
Siempre levántalo y nunca lo derribes
[Si no tiene amigos, nunca lo adviertas en su contra]???
Si ha fracasado en todo lo que ha intentado
Intenta aliviar su carga, ayúdalo a llevar su peso
Hazle saber que estás caminando a su lado
Y si siente que todo está perdido, que se está cayendo
[Intenta poner ... y pies en tierra firme]???
Solo recuerda que es un ser querido precioso
Siempre levántalo y nunca lo derribes
Siempre levántalo y nunca lo derribes
