Cause
Sixto Diaz Rodriguez
'Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
And I talked to Jesus at The Sewer
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
While the rain drank champagne
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
'Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
Oh, but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald
Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
'Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumors
But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
And I make sixteen solid half hour friendships every evening
'Cause your queen of hearts who's half a stone
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
Oh, but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
'Cause they told me everybody's gotta pay their dues
And I explained that I had overpaid them
So overdued I went to the company store
And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
'Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
'Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
In weekends of whiskey sours
'Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book
And plant flowers?
'Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
Porque perdí mi trabajo dos semanas antes de Navidad
And I talked to Jesus at The Sewer
Y hablé con Jesús en The Sewer
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
Y el Papa dijo que no era asunto suyo maldito
While the rain drank champagne
Mientras la lluvia bebía champán
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
Mi Arcángel Estonio vino y me emborrachó
'Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
Porque el beso más dulce que he recibido es el que nunca he probado
Oh, but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald
Oh, pero ellos llevarán su bono a Molly McDonald
Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
Damas de neón, la belleza es aquello que obedece, se compra o se presta

But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
Pero soy yo quien paga el alquiler de estos desafinados con cara de dedos
And I make sixteen solid half hour friendships every evening
Y hago dieciséis sólidas amistades de media hora cada tarde
'Cause your queen of hearts who's half a stone
Porque tu reina de corazones que es medio piedra
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
Y le gusta reír sola siempre te amenaza con irse
Oh, but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
Oh, pero juegan esos juegos simbólicos en Willy Thompson
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
Y dan una medalla para reemplazar al hijo de la señora Annie Johnson
'Cause they told me everybody's gotta pay their dues
Porque me dijeron que todos tienen que pagar sus deudas
And I explained that I had overpaid them
Y expliqué que las había pagado en exceso
So overdued I went to the company store
Tan vencido fui a la tienda de la compañía
And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
Y el dependiente allí dijo que acababan de ser invadidos
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
Así que zarpé en una lágrima y escapé debajo del umbral de la puerta
'Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
Porque el olor de su perfume todavía resuena en mi cabeza
'Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
Porque veo a mi gente tratando de ahogar el sol

While the rain drank champagne
Enquanto a chuva bebia champanhe
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
Meu Arcanjo Estoniano veio e me deixou bêbado
'Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
Porque o beijo mais doce que já recebi é o que nunca provei
Oh, but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald
Oh, mas eles vão levar seu bônus para Molly McDonald

E eu expliquei que já as tinha pago demais
So overdued I went to the company store
Então, com muitas dívidas, fui à loja da empresa
And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
E o balconista disse que eles acabaram de ser invadidos
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
Então eu zarpei em uma lágrima e escapei por baixo do batente da porta
'Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
Porque o cheiro do perfume dela ainda ecoa na minha cabeça
'Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
Porque eu vejo meu povo tentando afogar o sol
In weekends of whiskey sours
Em fins de semana de whiskey sours
