"Orphan Girl" by Gillian Welch (Spanish Translation)

"Huerfana" de Gillian Welch

Yo soy huerfana

Sobre la carretera de Dios

Pero te contare mi malfortuna

Si me sigues

No tengo madre

Ni padre

Ni hermana

Ni hermano

Yo soy huerfana

He tenido amistades

Puras y doradas

Pero el calor de familia

No lo he conocido

No conozco madre

Ni padre

Ni hermana

Ni hermano

Yo soy huerfana

Pero cuando El me llame

Yo podre

Conozer mi famila

Alrededor la mesa de Dios

Voy a conozer mi madre

Mi padre

Mi hermana

Mi hermano

No mas sere huerfana

Querido Salvador

Da me voluntad

Camina a mi lado

Hasta que este con ellos

Se mi madre

Mi padre

Mi hermana

Mi hermano

Yo soy huerfana

"Bakersfield" by The Deep Dark Woods

"Bakersfield" by The Deep Dark Woods

Seven lonesome ones

We spent inside

Awaiting for the cold soul to stop

If I had me a twenty dollar bill

I would take next train

Down to Bakersfield, Bakersfield

But it's too late for me

'Cause I'm not free

I'm shackled day and night

To these chains that bind

Me ...

Take me back

To those old memories
'Cause why is it that

I can't find some peace

Between my dreams

Louder and louder

Everyday

Why is it that I can't

Try and find

Another way, another way

But it's too late for me

'Cause I'm not free

Well, I'm shackled day and night

To these chains that bind

Me ...

Take me down

To good old baker's town

The southern sunny mountains

How I want them around

I would rest my head

Upon that golden shore

I would wait

For the tide

To roll my blues away

My blues away ...
