TOM WAITS

I hope I Don't Fall in Love with You

(Espero no enamorarme de ti)

Letra:

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you

/Bueno, espero no enamorarme de ti

'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,

/Porque enamorarme me pone azul (melancólico)

Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see, /la música suena y muestras tu corazón para que lo vea,

I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me

/Me tomé una cerveza y ahora escucho tu llamado para mí

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

/Y espero no enamorarme de ti.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere

/La habitación está llena, …gente por todas partes

And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?

/Y me pregunto ¿debo ofrecerte una silla?

Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it, /bueno, si te sientas con este viejo payaso, toma el ceño y rómpelo,

Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it, /antes que la noche se haya ido, creo que podríamos hacerlo

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

/Y espero no enamorarme de ti.

Well the night does funny things inside a man

/la noche hace las cosas divertidas dentro de un hombre

These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,

/estos viejos sentimientos “gato tom” no los entiendes,

Well I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette,

/me doy vuelta para mirarte, enciendes un cigarrillo,

I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met,

/quisiera tener las agallas de un vagabundo, pero nunca nos hemos reunido (encontrado)

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

/Y espero no enamorarme de ti.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late, veo que eres solitaria como yo, y esto llega tarde,

You'd like some company, deseas alguna compañía,

Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me, /bueno, me doy vuelta para mirarte, y te vueles a mí

The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free, /el hombre con quien estás…, la silla a tu lado está libre

And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

/Y espero que no te enamores de mí.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out

/Es la hora del cierre, y la música va desapareciendo

Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.

/Última llamada para tragos, voy a tomar otro fuerte.

Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found,/bueno, me doy vuelta para mirarte, no hay lugar donde encontrarte,

I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round /Puedo buscar el lugar para tu cara perdida, supongo que tendré otra ronda

And I think that I just fell in love with you.

Y creo que acabo de enamorarme.
