Everything goes to Hell

Everything goes to Hell

By Tom Waits


Why be sweet, why be careful, why be kind?
A man has only one thing on his mind
Why ask politely, why go lightly,
Why say please?
They only want to get you on your knees
There are a few things I never could believe
A woman when she weeps
A merchant when he swears
A thief who says he'll pay
A lawyer when he cares
A snake when he is sleeping
A drunkard when he prays
I don't believe you go to heaven
When you're good
Everything goes to hell, anyway...


Laissez-faire mi amour, ce la vie
Shall I return to shore or swim
Back out to sea?
The world don't care what a soldier
Does in town
It's all hanging in the windows
By the pound
There are few things
I never could believe...


A woman when she weeps
A merchant when he swears
A thief who says he'll pay
A lawyer when he cares
A snake when he is sleeping
A drunkard when he prays
I don't believe you go to heaven
When you're good
Everything goes to hell, anyway...


I only want to hear your purr and to hear
Ou moan There is another man who brings
The money home
I don't want dishes in the sink
Please don't tell me what you
Feel of what you think

There are few things I never could believe...

¿Qué hacer?

¿Qué hacer?

Estando frente a frente de otro futuro incierto
ante una nueva esperanza perdida
siento como de nuevo flaqueo


Siento como mana sangre de nuevo por mi herida
el dolor punzante que me desgarra,
nubla mis sentidos y obscurece mi senda


Y qué hacer cuando la inercia ya no te mueve?
qué hacer cuando ya no sientes tus pies
y no puedes moverte?


Cuando yerras y te arrepientes
cuando callas y en silencio gritas lo que sientes


Cuando ser quien eres no es suficiente
cuando ser alguien mas no es pertinente


Cuando al fin llega el momento
en que te pierdes y te preguntas


¿Qué hacer?
¿Qué hacer?
¿Qué hacer?

All I Need

All I Need

All I need is one chance
to be able to take care of your scars


All I need is one chance
to challenge the dragons
and become a true knight


All I need is to be seen
and cherished by you


All I need is a moment
of true peace, to take care 
of my own wounds with your love


All I need is your love in exchange of mine
a chance for both of us to be happy at last
forget the past and build a future


All I need is nothing but one chance...
