I bought you a fur coat when you were fifteen
Compré un abrigo de piel para ti cuando tenías quince
You wore it to the disco, but everyone was in jeans
Lo llevaste a la disco, pero todos estaban con jeans
But you were a rich girl, and only having fun
Pero eras una chica rica, y solo te divertías
Your worn out, brought stares from everyone
Tus ropas gastadas provocaban miradas de todos
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Oye, chica rica, ¿dónde te equivocaste?
You left for London, when you were nineteen
Te fuiste a Londres cuando tenías diecinueve
Had to pawn all your nice clothes, just living on dreams
Tuviste que empeñar toda tu ropa bonita, viviendo solo de sueños
A man in the bright lights took all that you own
Un tipo bajo las luces brillantes se llevó todo lo que tenías
Now he's taken your freedom for a fate unknown
Ahora ha quitado tu libertad por un destino desconocido
But you were a rich girl, hardly having fun
Pero eras una chica rica, apenas te divertías
Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Tus vestidos gastados provocaban miradas de todos
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Oye, chica rica, ¿dónde te equivocaste?
Hey, little rich girl you've been away for so long
Oye, chica rica, has estado lejos tanto tiempo
And now little rich girl, my words are in this song
Y ahora, chica rica, mis palabras están en esta canción
Hey, little rich girl my love for you is gone
Oye, chica rica, mi amor por ti se fue
And now little rich girl, I know where you went wrong
Y ahora, chica rica, sé dónde te equivocaste
At your dad's office party all the movies were blue
En la fiesta de la oficina de tu papá, todas las películas eran azules
Caused him so much heart ache, because the screen star was you
Le causó tanto dolor de corazón, porque la estrella de la pantalla eras tú
You left for London, when you were nineteen
Te fuiste a Londres cuando tenías diecinueve
Had to pawn all your nice clothes, but you were living on dreams
Tuviste que empeñar toda tu ropa bonita, pero vivías de sueños
You were a rich girl, and only having fun
Eras una chica rica, y solo te divertías
But your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
Pero tus vestidos gastados provocaban miradas de todos
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Oye, chica rica, ¿dónde te equivocaste?
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Oye, chica rica, ¿dónde te equivocaste?
Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
Oye, chica rica, ¿dónde te equivocaste?
