Paul Simon - That was your mother Spanish translation lyrics

Your rating:

Ella fue tu madre

Hace mucho tiempo, si
Antes de que naciste, compa~nero
Cuando aun estaba solo
Y la vida era chora
Tenia este trabajo de comerciante viajero
Que me hizo moverme de un estado a otro

Pues, estuve parado en una esquina de Lafayette
En el estado de Louisiana
Imaginando adonde un chico de la ciudad podria ir
Para conversar un poco
Tomar algun vino tinto
Mirar un poco esas chicas Cajun
Que bailaban a musica Zydeco

Paso una chica joven
Tan guapa como un libro de oraciones
Tan dulce como una manzana el dia de Navidad
Dije, que gracia, podria ser mi suerte
Si esto es mi libro de oraciones
Se~nor, dejanos orar

Pues, estuve parado en una esquina de Lafayette
En el estado de Louisiana
Imaginando que un chico de la ciudad podria hacer
Para conversar un poco
Tomar algun vino tinto
Bailar a la musica de Clifton Chenier
El rey del Bayou

Pues, ella fue tu madre
Y el fue tu padre
Antes de que naciste, compa~nero
Cuando la vida era chora
Tu eres la carga de mi generacion
Si que te amo
Pero dejanos ponerlo claro

Pues, estuve parado en una esquina de Lafayette
Al otro lado del Public
Dirigiendome al cafe Lone Star
Para tal vez conversar un poco
Tomar algun vino tinto
Quedarme en la sombra de Clifton Chenier
Terminar la noche bailando

That was your mother

A long time ago, yeah 
Before you was born dude 
When I was still single 
And life was great 
I held this job as a traveling salesman 
That kept me moving from state to state 
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette 
State of Louisiana 
Wondering where a city boy could go 
To get a little conversation 
Drink a little red wine 
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls 
Dancing to Zydeco 

Along come a young girl 
She's pretty as a prayerbook 
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day 
I said good gracious can this be my luck 
If that's my prayerbook 
Lord let us pray 

Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette 
State of Louisiana 
Wondering where a city boy could go 
To get her in a conversation 
Drink a little red wine 
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier 
The King of the Bayou 

Well, that was your mother 
And that was your father 
Before you was born dude 
When life was great 
You are the burden of my generation 
I sure do love you 
But let's get that straight 

Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette 
Across the street from The Public 
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe 
Maybe get a little conversation 
Drink a little red wine 
Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier 
Dancing the night away
