A veces soñamos con cambiar nuestras vidas...


You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way






Algunos fragmentos en español...

Yo quiero un boleto a cualquier parte
Quizás hacemos un trato
Quizás juntos podemos llegar a alguna parte...
...
Cualquier lugar es mejor
Empezando de cero no tenemos nada que perder
Quizá hacemos algo
No tengo nada que probar
...
Tu brazo me hizo sentir tan bien rodeando mi hombro
Y tuve un sentido de pertenencia
sentí que podía ser alguien...
....
Siempre creí lo mejor
Pensé que juntos lo lograríamos
No tengo planes, no voy a ningún lado...
....
Tú tienes un auto rápido
Como es tan rápido podemos volar
Tienes que tomar una decisión
Nos vamos esta noche o vivimos y morimos de esta manera

  1. Hi MB.:

    The song tells many truths, realities, desires of the heart.
    Sometimes life is decided in an instant.
    How to know when appropriate?
    Maybe tonight we will die together.
    Together.

  2. A veces el problema es que cuando empacamos para largarnos por fin y empezar una vida nueva, cometemos el error de meter en la maleta a la persona que somos...

  4. Saludos María Beatriz.
    Hace que la vida parezca, una repetición invariable. Y como que ella si agarro su carro y nunca supimos a donde se fue, pero nos ha dejado buenas canciones para recordarla.

    Que te vaya bien, luego nos leemos.

  5. María Beatriz, una canción con una melodía conocida. Has hecho muy bien en traer el vídeo con la letra traducida, pues a muchos se les escapa esta triste y actual historia en el seno de tantas familias.
    Un abrazo.

  6. Los viajes que emprendemos son los huídas que le damos a la mente para descansar de nosotros mismos.


    Saludos.
