Estaba dando un paseo por Bleecker StreetI was cutting a dash down Bleecker Street
los alcantarillados humeaban bajo mis piesthe sewers were steaming underneath my feet
Miré hacia MacDougall a media cuadraI looked down MacDougall 'bout half a block
dije para mí mismo, ahí es de donde vienessaid to myself that's where you come from
Tuve una visión en ese momento en mi menteI got a vision right there and then in my mind's eye
tú con tus galas paseandoyou in your finery strolling by
manos en la cintura y tu estuche de guitarra,hands on your hip and your guitar case,
el sonido del futuro soplando en tu rostrosound of the future blowing in your face

Bajé las escaleras, me aventuré por la puertaI stepped down the stairs, ventured through the door
el sonido casi me llevó hasta Singapursound nearly blew me clean to Singapore
Un niño negro bailando en el escenarioBlack man child waltzing 'cross the stage
apretando la guitarra, cantando "Purple Haze"squeezing guitar, singing "Purple Haze"

Recuerdo en casa hace muchas lunasI remember back home many moons ago
tenía una banda en la sala, deberías habernos escuchado tocarI had a front room band, you should have heard us blow
Éramos rudos como un perro, ruidosos como el pecadoWe was rough as a dog, loud as sin
con un guitarrista líder llamado Davy Flynnwith a lead guitar player name of Davy Flynn
Podía tocar con los dientes, de cabezaHe could play with his teeth, upside of his head
podía hacer sonar esa cosa como si resucitara a los muertoshe could make that thing ring like a-raising the dead
Tú eras su ídolo, tú eras su hombreYou were his idol, you were his man
No lo entendía en ese entonces Davy, ahora entiendoI didn't get it them Davy, now I understand

Porque tú eras demasiado temprano, yo era demasiado tarde'Cause you were just too early, I was just too late
Tú eras simplemente genial, eras simplemente grandiosoYou were just too fine, you were just too great
Eras simplemente real, eras simplemente verdaderoYou were just too real, you were just too true
Este mundo no era lo suficientemente hermoso para tiThis world wasn't beautiful enough for you
