Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
chorus
Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Empaca un cepillo de dientes querida
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Empaca tu blusa favorita
Take a withdrawal slip
Toma una ficha de retiro
Take all of your savings out
Saca todos tus ahorros
'Cause if we don't leave this town
Porque si no dejamos ésta ciudad
We might never make it out
Tal vez nunca lo consigamos
I was not born to drown
No nací para ahogarme
Baby come on
Nena, vamos
verse
Forget what Father Brennan said
Olvida lo que dijo el padre Brennan
We were not born in sin
No nacimos en pecado
Leave a note on your bed
Deja una nota en tu cama
Let your mother know you're safe
Hazle saber a tu madre que estás a salvo
And by the time she wakes
Y para el momento en que despierte
We'll have driven through the state
Habremos conducido por el estado
We'll have driven through the night
Habremos conducido toda la noche
Baby come on
Nena, vamos
verse
If the sun don't shine on me today
Si el sol no brilla sobre mí hoy
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Y si los subterráneos se inhundan y los puentes se rompen
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
¿Te acostarás y cavarás tu tumba?
Or will you rail against your dying day
¿O te opondrás al día de tu muerte?
verse
And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky
Y cuando miramos afuera, no pudimos ni ver el cielo
How do you pay the rent, is it your parents
¿Cómo pagas la renta?, ¿lo hacen tus padres?
Or is it hard work dear, holding the atmosphere?
¿O es el trabajo duro, cariño, el que mantiene la atmósfera?
I don't wanna live like that
No quiero vivir así
chorus
If the sun don't shine on me today
Si el sol no brilla sobre mí hoy
If the subways flood and the bridges break
Si los subterráneos se hunden y los puentes se rompen
verse
Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
Jesucristo no puede salvarme esta noche
Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
Ponte tu vestido, sí, ponte algo lindo
Decide on me, yeah decide on us
Decide por mí, sí, decide por nosotros
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
chorus
Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Empaca un cepillo de dientes querida
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Empaca tu blusa favorita
Take a withdrawal slip
Toma una ficha de retiro
Take all of your savings out
Saca todos tus ahorros
'Cause if we don't leave this town
Porque si no dejamos ésta ciudad
We might never make it out
Tal vez nunca lo consigamos
