If my man was fighting some unholy war

Si mi hombre estuviera peleando alguna guerra impía

I would be behind him

yo estaría detrás de él

Straight, shook up beside him

Directo, sacudido a su lado.

With strength he didn't know

Con fuerza no lo sabía

It's you I'm fighting for

Eres tú por quien estoy luchando

He can't lose with me in tow

No puede perder conmigo a cuestas

I refuse to let him go (to let him go)

Me niego a dejarlo ir (a dejarlo ir)

At his side, and drunk on pride

A su lado, y borracho de orgullo

We wait for the blow

esperamos el golpe

Put it in writing

ponlo por escrito

But who're you writing for?

¿Pero para quién escribes?

Just us on kitchen floor

Sólo nosotros en el suelo de la cocina.

A justice done reciting, my stomach standing still

Una justicia hecha recitando, mi estómago quieto

I like you reading my will

Me gusta que leas mi testamento

He still stands in spite of what his scars say

Sigue en pie a pesar de lo que dicen sus cicatrices.

And I'll battle 'til this bitter finale (bitter finale)

Y lucharé hasta este amargo final (amargo final)

Just me, my dignity, and this guitar case, whoa, whoa

Solo yo, mi dignidad y este estuche de guitarra, espera, espera

If, if my man is fighting some unholy war

Si, si mi hombre está peleando alguna guerra impía

And I will stand beside you

Y estaré a tu lado

But who're you dying for?

¿Pero por quién mueres?

B-, I would've died too

B-, yo también hubiera muerto

I'd liked too

a mi tambien me gustaria

If my man was fighting some unholy war

Si mi hombre estuviera peleando alguna guerra impía

If my man was fighting

Si mi hombre estuviera peleando
