Lyrics & Translation
English
Girl, I've been crying ever since you left
My mama told me, "Get a hold of yourself"
And be cool, calm and keep yourself together
She said be cool, calm and keep yourself together, ha ha ha, ha
Sugar plum, you're really gold
And it just don't help to cry
So I wiped my tears away the other day
And hung my handkerchief up to dry
Then I changed my style, putting on a smile
And went out to face the world
The smile I wear see, ha, I don't care that I just lost my girl
But I still get that old yearning
Can't be cool when my heart is burning
I still get that old feeling
Can't be calm when my head is reeling
I say mother dear, see here, see here
Tell me now what shall I do
Can't have that girl and I love her true
She said when things get rough, be man enough
To be cool, calm, and keep yourself together
That's what my mama said
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together, ha ha
Sugar pie, you said goodbye
And I cried myself to sleep
That's when my mother said, "Don't lose your head, son
It just don't help to weep"
Now I'm the great pretender
I don't surrender to what I feel inside
I'm the life of the crowd, and ha, I laugh out loud
But it's all a fake disguise
'Cause I still hear my heart pounding
Hard to be cool when you come around me
I still feel my heart purring
Hard to be calm when my insides stirring
I say mother dear, see here, see here
Tell me now which way to go
Can't have that girl and I love her so
She said, whenever you're blue, whatever you do
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together
That's what my mama said
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together

Be Cool, Be Calm (And Keep Yourself Together) (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Chica, he estado llorando desde que te fuiste
Mi mamá me dijo: "Contrólate"
Y sé tranquilo, calmo y mantente entero
Ella dijo sé tranquilo, calmo y mantente entero, ja ja ja, ja
Cariño, eres de oro
Y simplemente no ayuda llorar
Así que me sequé las lágrimas el otro día
Y colgué mi pañuelo a secar
Luego cambié mi estilo, poniéndome una sonrisa
Y salí a enfrentar el mundo
La sonrisa que llevo, ja, no me importa haber perdido a mi chica
Pero todavía siento ese viejo anhelo
No puedo estar tranquilo cuando mi corazón arde
Todavía siento esa vieja sensación
No puedo estar calmo cuando mi cabeza da vueltas
Digo madre querida, mira, mira
Dime ahora qué debo hacer
No puedo tener a esa chica y la amo de verdad
Ella dijo cuando las cosas se pongan difíciles, sé lo suficientemente hombre
Para ser tranquilo, calmo y mantenerte entero
Eso es lo que dijo mi mamá
Sé tranquilo, calmo y mantente entero, ja ja
Cariño, dijiste adiós
Y lloré hasta quedarme dormido
Fue entonces cuando mi madre dijo: "No pierdas la cabeza, hijo
Simplemente no ayuda llorar"
Ahora soy el gran farsante
No me rindo a lo que siento por dentro
Soy el alma de la fiesta, y ja, me río a carcajadas
Pero todo es un disfraz falso
Porque todavía escucho mi corazón latiendo
Difícil estar tranquilo cuando te acercas a mí
Todavía siento mi corazón ronroneando
Difícil estar calmo cuando mis entrañas se agitan
Digo madre querida, mira, mira
Dime ahora qué camino tomar
No puedo tener a esa chica y la amo tanto
Ella dijo, cuando estés triste, hagas lo que hagas
Sé tranquilo, calmo y mantente entero
Eso es lo que dijo mi mamá
Sé tranquilo, calmo y mantente entero
