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 eu perdi meu emprego duas semanas antes do Natal
And I talked to Jesus at The Sewer
E eu conversei com Jesus no The Sewer
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
E o Papa disse que isso não era da conta dele
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
Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed

Mas sou eu quem paga o aluguel para esses desafinados de rosto dedilhado
And I make sixteen solid half hour friendships every evening
E eu faço dezesseis amizades sólidas de meia hora todas as noites
'Cause your queen of hearts who's half a stone
Porque sua rainha de copas que é meio pedra
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
E gosta de rir sozinha está sempre ameaçando você com a partida
Oh, but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
Oh, mas eles jogam aqueles jogos simbólicos em Willy Thompson
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
E dão uma medalha para substituir o filho da Sra. Annie Johnson
'Cause they told me everybody's gotta pay their dues
Porque eles me disseram que todo mundo tem que pagar suas dívidas
And I explained that I had overpaid them
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

While the rain drank champagne
Mientras la lluvia bebía champán
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted

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
