TELL LAURA I LOVE HER

Tell Laura I Love Her
( Ray Peterson )

Laura and Tommy were lovers Laura i Tommy estaven enamorats
He wanted to give her everything Ell volia donar-li tot
Flowers, presents, Flors, regals,
But most of all, a wedding ring Però sobretot, un anell de casament
He saw a sign for a stock car race Va veure un anunci d'una carrera de cotxes
A thousand dollar prize it read Mil dòlars era el premi, deia el cartell
He couldn't get Laura on the phone No va aconseguir parlar amb la Laura per telèfon
So to her mother, Tommy said Per això el Tommy li va dir a la seva mare:



Tell Laura I love her Digues a la Laura que l'estimo
Tell Laura I need her Digues a la Laura que la necessito
Tell Laura I may be late Digues a la Laura que potser arribaré tard
I've something to do, that cannot wait Que haig de fer una cosa que no pot esperar.



He drove his car to the racing groundsVa conduir el cotxe fins el circuit
He was the youngest driver there Era el conductor més jove
The crowed roared as they started the race La multitud bramava quan va començar la cursa
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace A la pista conduien a un ritme mortal
No one knows what happened that day Ningú sap què va passar aquell dia
Or how his car overturned in flames Ni com el seu cotxe es va incendiar
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck Però mentre el treien de les restes embrullades
With his dying breath, they heard him say Amb el seu últim alè el van sentir dir


Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry Digues a la Laura que no plori
My love for her will never die El meu amor per ella no morirà mai



Now in the chapel where Laura prays Ara a la capella on la Laura prega
For her poor Tommy, who passed away Pel seu pobre Tommy desaparegut
It was just for Laura he lived and died Ell només va viure i morir per la Laura
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry Sola a la capella pot sentir-lo plorar



Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
