Southern Accents by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Lyrics & Translation
English
There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young 'uns call it country
The Yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done, with a southern accent
Where I come from
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta's
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don't freeze
I got my own way of workin'
But everything is run, with a southern accent
Where I come from
For just a minute there I was dreaming
For just a minute it was all so real
For just a minute she was standing there, with me
There's a dream I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
Then kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of prayin'
But every one's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from
I got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from

Southern Accents (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Hay un acento sureño, de donde vengo
Los jóvenes lo llaman campestre
Los yanquis lo llaman tonto
Tengo mi propia forma de hablar
Pero todo se hace, con acento sureño
De donde vengo
Ahora esa celda de borrachos en Atlanta
Es solo una habitación de motel para mí
Creo que podría ir a trabajar a Orlando
Si esos naranjos no se congelan
Tengo mi propia forma de trabajar
Pero todo se maneja, con acento sureño
De donde vengo
Por solo un minuto estuve soñando
Por solo un minuto todo fue tan real
Por solo un minuto ella estaba allí, conmigo
Hay un sueño que sigo teniendo
Donde mi mamá viene a mí
Luego se arrodilla junto a la ventana
Y reza una oración por mí
Tengo mi propia forma de rezar
Pero cada una ha comenzado
Con acento sureño
De donde vengo
Tengo mi propia forma de vivir
Pero todo se hace
Con acento sureño
De donde vengo
