Ball And Chain

Pete Townshend

Lyrics Translation

Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

That pretty piece off Cuba
Designed to cause men pain
Whoa, when you light up in Cuba
You won't feel the same again

Down in Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars
Down in Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars

Been a breach of promise
Still guilty with no charge
There's smoke in the forest
And the tumor is getting large

Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

There's a long road to travel
For justice to make its claim
So let's bring down the gavel
Let the prisoner say his name

Mmm, still waiting for the big cigars
Still waiting for the
Still waiting for the big cigars

Hey, still waiting for the big cigars

Down in Guantanamo
Lá em Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Ainda temos a bola e a corrente
Down in Guantanamo
Lá em Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Ainda temos a bola e a corrente
That pretty piece off Cuba
Aquele belo pedaço de Cuba
Designed to cause men pain
Projetado para causar dor nos homens
Whoa, when you light up in Cuba
Uau, quando você acende em Cuba
You won't feel the same again
Você não vai se sentir o mesmo novamente
Down in Guantanamo
Lá em Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars
Ufa, ainda esperando pelos charutos grandes
Down in Guantanamo
Lá em Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars
Ufa, ainda esperando pelos charutos grandes
Been a breach of promise
Houve uma quebra de promessa
Still guilty with no charge
Ainda culpado sem acusação
There's smoke in the forest
Há fumaça na floresta
And the tumor is getting large
E o tumor está ficando grande
Down in Guantanamo
Lá em Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Ainda temos a bola e a corrente
Down in Guantanamo
Lá em Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Ainda temos a bola e a corrente
There's a long road to travel
Há um longo caminho a percorrer
For justice to make its claim
Para a justiça fazer sua reivindicação
So let's bring down the gavel
Então vamos bater o martelo
Let the prisoner say his name
Deixe o prisioneiro dizer seu nome
Mmm, still waiting for the big cigars
Hmm, ainda esperando pelos charutos grandes
Still waiting for the
Ainda esperando pelo
Still waiting for the big cigars
Ainda esperando pelos charutos grandes
Hey, still waiting for the big cigars
Ei, ainda esperando pelos charutos grandes
Down in Guantanamo
Abajo en Guantánamo
We still got the ball and chain
Todavía tenemos la bola y la cadena
Down in Guantanamo
Abajo en Guantánamo
We still got the ball and chain
Todavía tenemos la bola y la cadena
That pretty piece off Cuba
Esa bonita pieza de Cuba
Designed to cause men pain
Diseñada para causar dolor a los hombres
Whoa, when you light up in Cuba
Vaya, cuando enciendes en Cuba
You won't feel the same again
No volverás a sentirte igual
Down in Guantanamo
Abajo en Guantánamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars
Uf, todavía esperando los grandes puros
Down in Guantanamo
Abajo en Guantánamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars
Uf, todavía esperando los grandes puros
Been a breach of promise
Ha habido una ruptura de promesa
Still guilty with no charge
Todavía culpable sin cargo
There's smoke in the forest
Hay humo en el bosque
And the tumor is getting large
Y el tumor se está haciendo grande
Down in Guantanamo
Abajo en Guantánamo
We still got the ball and chain
Todavía tenemos la bola y la cadena
Down in Guantanamo
Abajo en Guantánamo
We still got the ball and chain
Todavía tenemos la bola y la cadena
There's a long road to travel
Hay un largo camino por recorrer
For justice to make its claim
Para que la justicia haga su reclamo
So let's bring down the gavel
Así que bajemos el martillo
Let the prisoner say his name
Deja que el prisionero diga su nombre
Mmm, still waiting for the big cigars
Mmm, todavía esperando los grandes puros
Still waiting for the
