Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Evangeline by Los Lobos from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Evangeline is on the roam
Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
I can still remember this little girl
I can still remember this little girl
Black eyes just staring
Black eyes just staring
At this big old world
At this big old world
Ran off to find some American dream
Ran off to find some American dream
Train ticket in one hand
Train ticket in one hand
In her new blue jeans
In her new blue jeans
Evangeline is on the roam
Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She went out dancin' on a Saturday night
She went out dancin' on a Saturday night
Silk stockings and high heels
Silk stockings and high heels
Blue liner on her eyes
Blue liner on her eyes
But on Sunday morning she's all alone
But on Sunday morning she's all alone
Head lying on the nightstand
Head lying on the nightstand
By the telephone
By the telephone
Evangeline is on the roam
Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
