In the drunk tank

– “Mi no ta mira otro”
And then he sang a song
– I despues el a kanta un kantika
‘The Rare Old Mountain Dew’
– ‘E Rari Roya Di E Seru Bieu’
I turned my face away
– Mi a bira mi kara un otro banda
And dreamed about you

They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
– Nan tin outo grandi manera bar, nan tin riu di oro
But the wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old

When the band finished playing, they howled out for more
– Ora e banda a kaba di toka, nan a yora pa mas
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they were singing
– Sinatra tabata balansa, tur e borracho tabata kanta
We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night
– Nos a sunchi den un esquina, despues nos a baila henter anochi
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “Galway Bay”
– E muchanan di e kor di polis Di New York tabata kanta Bay Di Galway
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
– I e kandela tabata sona pa Dia Di Pasku
You’re a bum, you’re a punk, you’re an old slut on junk
– Bo ta un bumbum, bo ta un punk, bo ta un puta bieu ku basura
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
– E tabata drumi ei kasi morto den un gota den e kama ei
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy faggot
– Cabrón, worm, maricón barato i pésimo
Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it’s our last
– Feliz Navidad, bo trasero, mi ta pidi Dios pa ta e ultimo.
The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing “Galway Bay”

You took my dreams from me when I first found you
– Bo a kita mi soño ora mi a topa bo pa promé biaha
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
– Mi a warda nan ku mi, nena, mi a pone nan ku mi.
Can’t make it all alone, I’ve built my dreams around you
– Mi no por hasié mi so, mi a traha mi soño rònt di bo
The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing “Galway Bay”
– E muchanan di e kor di polis Di New York, ainda kantando “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
– I e kandela ta sona pa Dia Di Pasku
