Lyrics & Translation
English
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin brokin' down
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don't know how to smile
Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
If there's anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares?
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
Your empty pocket tell you
That you ain't a-got no friend
Your babies are crying louder now
It's pounding on your brain
Your babies are crying louder now
It's pounding on your brain
Your wife's screams are stabbin' you
Like the dirty drivin' rain
Your grass is turning black
There's no water in your well
Your grass is turning black
There's no water in your well
Your spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shells
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That's hangin' on the wall
Your brain is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you're holdin' in your hand
There's seven breezes a-blowin'
All around the cabin door
There's seven breezes a-blowin'
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean's pounding roar
There's seven people dead
On a south Dakota farm
There's seven people dead
On a south Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born

Ballad Of Hollis Brown (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Hollis Brown
Vivía a las afueras del pueblo
Hollis Brown
Vivía a las afueras del pueblo
Con su esposa y cinco hijos
Y su cabaña desmoronándose
Buscaste trabajo y dinero
Y caminaste una milla difícil
Buscaste trabajo y dinero
Y caminaste una milla difícil
Tus hijos tienen tanta hambre
Que no saben cómo sonreír
Los ojos de tu bebé parecen locos
Están tirando de tu manga
Los ojos de tu bebé parecen locos
Están tirando de tu manga
Caminas por el suelo y te preguntas por qué
Con cada aliento que respiras
Las ratas se han comido tu harina
La sangre mala mató a tu yegua
Las ratas se han comido tu harina
La sangre mala mató a tu yegua
Si hay alguien que sepa
¿Hay alguien a quien le importe?
Le rezaste al Señor de arriba
Oh, por favor, envíame un amigo
Le rezaste al Señor de arriba
Oh, por favor, envíame un amigo
Tu bolsillo vacío te dice
Que no tienes ningún amigo
Tus bebés lloran más fuerte ahora
Está golpeando tu cerebro
Tus bebés lloran más fuerte ahora
Está golpeando tu cerebro
Los gritos de tu esposa te apuñalan
Como la sucia lluvia torrencial
Tu hierba se está volviendo negra
No hay agua en tu pozo
Tu hierba se está volviendo negra
No hay agua en tu pozo
Gastaste tu último dólar solitario
En siete cartuchos de escopeta
Lejos en el desierto
Un coyote frío aúlla
Lejos en el desierto
Un coyote frío aúlla
Tus ojos se fijan en la escopeta
Que cuelga en la pared
Tu cerebro está sangrando
Y tus piernas no parecen poder sostenerse
Tu cerebro está sangrando
Y tus piernas no parecen poder sostenerse
Tus ojos se fijan en la escopeta
Que tienes en tu mano
Hay siete brisas soplando
Alrededor de la puerta de la cabaña
Hay siete brisas soplando
Alrededor de la puerta de la cabaña
Siete disparos resuenan
Como el rugido atronador del océano
Hay siete personas muertas
En una granja de Dakota del Sur
Hay siete personas muertas
En una granja de Dakota del Sur
En algún lugar a la distancia
Hay siete personas nuevas naciendo
