I Want You

Te quiero

I Want You

Te quiero
I Want You

El sepulturero culpable suspira
The guilty undertaker sighs,
El molinillo solitario de órganos grita
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
Los saxofones plateados dicen que debería rechazarte
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
Las campanas agrietadas y los cuernos deslavados
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Golpe en mi cara con desprecio
Blow into my face with scorn,
Pero no es así
But it's not that way,
No nací para perderte
I wasn't born to lose you.
Te quiero, te quiero
I want you, I want you,
Te quiero tanto
I want you so bad,
Cariño, te quiero
Honey, I want you.

El político borracho salta
The drunken politician leaps
En la calle donde las madres lloran
Upon the street where mothers weep
Y los salvadores que están velozmente dormierdes
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
Te esperan
They wait for you.
Y espero a que interrumpan
And I wait for them to interrupt
Yo bebo de mi copa rota
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
Y pídeme que
And ask me to
Abre la puerta para ti
Open up the gate for you.
Te quiero, te quiero
I want you, I want you,
Te quiero tanto
I want you so bad,
Cariño, te quiero
Honey, I want you.

Ahora todos mis padres han caído
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
El verdadero amor que han estado sin él
True love they've been without it.
Pero todas sus hijas me detuvieron
But all their daughters put me down
Porque no pienso en ello
'Cause I don't think about it.

Bueno, vuelvo a la Reina de Picas
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
Y habla con mi camarera
And talk with my chambermaid.
Ella sabe que no tengo miedo
She knows that I'm not afraid
Para mirarla
To look at her.
Ella es buena conmigo
She is good to me
Y no hay nada que ella no vea
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
Ella sabe dónde me gustaría estar
She knows where I'd like to be
Pero no importa
But it doesn't matter.
Te quiero, te quiero
I want you, I want you,
Te quiero tanto
I want you so bad,
Cariño, te quiero
Honey, I want you.

Ahora tu niño bailando con su traje chino
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
Me habló, tomé su flauta
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, no era muy lindo con él
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
¿Lo estaba?
Was I?
Pero lo hice, sin embargo, porque mintió
But I did it, though, because he lied
Porque te llevó a dar un paseo
Because he took you for a ride
Y porque el tiempo estaba de su lado
And because time was on his side
Y porque yo
And because I . . .
Te quiero, te quiero
I want you, I want you,
Te quiero tanto
I want you so bad,
Cariño, te quiero
Honey, I want you.
