Trece Años

Thirteen Years

Trece Años

The stars were shining brightBrillaban ya las estrellas
It was really hotHacia mucho calor
The noise from the jukeboxEl ruido en la vellonera
Blended into the nightEn la noche se refundió
With a drink in my handCon una copa en la mano
I stepped out of the barDe la taberna yo salí
With a girl by my sideCon una hembra a mi lado
Everything's predictableTodo se puede predecir

Without saying a wordSin decir una palabra
She took me to her placeA su guarida me llevó
I noticed she was nervousNote que estaba nerviosa
When she said: Come in, sirCuando dijo: Pase señor
A rickety doorUna puerta destartalada
A gas lamp flickeringUna lámpara de gas-oil
A shabby bedUna cama desvencijada
A life full of painExistencia de dolor

She, in her hideoutElla, en su guarida
Told me her storyMe contó su vida
All of her painTodo su dolor
She, came through deceptionElla, llego por engaños
She's just thirteenTiene trece años
Makeup helped her outEl maquillaje la ayudó

I dropped my drinkSe me cayó la copa de la mano
The dirty buzz wore offSe me quitó la sucia borrachera
I said: Let's not do thisLe dije: No lo hagamos
And I dressed her upY la vestí entera

I went back to that damn jukeboxVolví a la maldita vellonera
Looked for the one who brought her hereBusqué a quien la hizo que viniera
To see her charmsA verle sus encantos
To give him a beatingPara darle una pela

She, left her hometownElla, salió de su pueblo
To find some cashA buscar dinero
To live betterPa' vivir mejor
She, found herself trappedElla, se encontró atrapada
Sold to the highest bidderFue mercadizada al mejor postor

I dropped my drinkSe me cayó la copa de la mano
The dirty buzz wore offSe me quitó la sucia borrachera
I said: Let's not do thisLe dije: No lo hagamos
And I dressed her upY la vestí entera

I went back to that damn jukeboxVolví a la maldita vellonera
Looked for the one who brought her hereBusqué a quien la hizo que viniera
To see her charmsA verle sus encantos
To give him a beatingPara darle una pela

She, in her hideoutElla, en su guarida
Told me her storyMe contó su vida
All of her painTodo su dolor
She, came through deceptionElla, llego por engaños
She's just thirteenTiene trece años
Makeup helped her outEl maquillaje la ayudo

So beautifulTan bella
