Earn Enough For Us by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
I've been praying all the week through
At home, at work and on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
Found a house that won't repair itself
With it's windows cracking
And a roof held together with holes
Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder
Than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
I've been praying all the week through
At home at work and on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
So you're saying that we're going to be three
Now, a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud
But the belt's already tight
I'll get another job at night, but honest
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder
Than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the Boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
I can earn enough for us

Earn Enough For Us (traducción LyricVerse Team)
He estado rezando toda la semana
En casa, en el trabajo y en el autobús
He estado rezando para poder retenerte
Y para ganar lo suficiente para nosotros
Puedo soportar la humillación
Y comentarios hirientes del jefe
Solo estoy rezando para el fin de semana
Poder ganar lo suficiente para nosotros
Encontré una casa que no se arreglará sola
Con sus ventanas agrietadas
Y un techo sostenido con agujeros
Solo porque estamos al pie de la escalera
No deberíamos estar más tristes
Que otros como nosotros
Que tienen metas para mejorar la vida
Me alegra que quieras ser mi esposa, pero honestamente
He estado rezando toda la semana
En casa, en el trabajo y en el autobús
He estado rezando para poder retenerte
Y para ganar lo suficiente para nosotros
Así que dices que vamos a ser tres
Ahora, un padre es lo que seré
No me malinterpretes, estoy tan orgulloso
Pero el cinturón ya está apretado
Conseguiré otro trabajo por la noche, pero honestamente
Puedo soportar la humillación
Y comentarios hirientes del jefe
Solo estoy rezando para el fin de semana
Poder ganar lo suficiente para nosotros
Solo porque estamos al pie de la escalera
No deberíamos estar más tristes
Que otros como nosotros
Que tienen metas para mejorar la vida
Me alegra que quieras ser mi esposa, pero honestamente
Puedo soportar la humillación
Y comentarios hirientes del jefe
Solo estoy rezando para el fin de semana
Poder ganar lo suficiente para nosotros
Poder ganar lo suficiente para nosotros
