These Spanish lyric translations are not yet verified.
You don't have to play me backwards
No tienes que jugar conmigo al revés
To get the meaning of my verse
Para entender el significado de mi verso
You don't have to die and go to Hell
No tienes que morir e ir al infierno.
To feel the Devil's curse
Para sentir la maldición del diablo
Well, I thought my life was a photograph
Bueno, pensé que mi vida era una fotografía.
On the family Christmas card
En la tarjeta navideña familiar
Kids all dressed in buttons and bows
Niños todos vestidos con botones y lazos.
And lined up in the yard
Y alineados en el patio
Were the golden days of childhood
Fueron los días dorados de la infancia.
So lyrical and warm
tan lírico y cálido
Or did the picture start to fade
¿O la imagen comenzó a desvanecerse?
On the day that I was born
El día que nací
I've seen them light the candles
Los he visto encender las velas
I've heard them bang the drum
Los he oído tocar el tambor
And I've cried Mama, I'm cold as ice
Y he llorado mamá, estoy fría como el hielo
And I got no place to run
Y no tengo a dónde correr
Let the night begin, there's a pop of skin
Que comience la noche, hay un estallido de piel
And the sudden rush of scarlet
Y la repentina oleada de escarlata
There's a little boy riding on a goat's head
Hay un niño montado en la cabeza de una cabra.
And a little girl playing the harlot
Y una niña jugando a la ramera
There's a sacrifice in an empty church
Hay un sacrificio en una iglesia vacía
Of sweet lil' baby Rose
De la dulce y pequeña bebé Rose
And a man in a mask from Mexico
Y un hombre enmascarado de México
Is peeling off my clothes
Me está quitando la ropa
I've seen them light the candles
Los he visto encender las velas
I've heard them bang the drum
Los he oído tocar el tambor
And I've cried Mama, I'm cold as ice
Y he llorado mamá, estoy fría como el hielo
And I got no place to run
Y no tengo a dónde correr
So, I'm paying for protection
Entonces, estoy pagando por protección.
Smoking out the truth
Fumando la verdad
Chasing recollections
Persiguiendo recuerdos
Nailing down the proof
Clavando la prueba
You don't have to play me backwards
No tienes que jugar conmigo al revés
To get the meaning of my verse
Para entender el significado de mi verso
You don't have to die and go to Hell
No tienes que morir e ir al infierno.
To feel the Devil's curse
Para sentir la maldición del diablo
I'll stand before your altar
Estaré frente a tu altar
And tell everything I know
Y contar todo lo que sé
I've come to claim my childhood
He venido a reclamar mi infancia.
At the chapel of baby Rose
En la capilla de la bebé Rose
I've seen them light the candles
Los he visto encender las velas
I've heard them bang the drum
Los he oído tocar el tambor
I've seen them light the candles
Los he visto encender las velas
I've heard them bang the drum
Los he oído tocar el tambor
