Dark Lady
JOHN ROBERT DURRILL
The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat were scratches from
The marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how I smelled it was in my own room
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve

Sul sedile posteriore c'erano graffi da
The marks of men her fortune she had won
I segni degli uomini che la sua fortuna aveva vinto
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
Non potevo vedere attraverso il vetro oscurato
She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas
Lei disse, "Casa James" e lui schiacciò il gas
I followed her to some darkened room
L'ho seguita in una stanza oscura
She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"
Ha preso i miei soldi, ha detto "Sarò con te presto"
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
La signora oscura rise e danzò e accese le candele una per una
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Danzò sulla sua musica gitana fino a quando la sua pozione fu pronta
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
La signora oscura giocò con la magia nera fino a quando l'orologio colpì le dodici
She told me more about me than I knew myself
Mi ha detto più di me di quanto io conoscessi me stesso
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
Ha distribuito due carte, una regina e un tre
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
E mormorò alcune parole che mi erano così strane
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
Poi ha scoperto un jack con due occhi
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
I miei occhi vedevano rosso ma la carta rimaneva ancora nera
She said the man you love is secretly true
Ha detto che l'uomo che ami è segretamente fedele
To someone else who is very close to you
A qualcun altro che ti è molto vicino
My advice is that you leave this place
Il mio consiglio è che tu lasci questo posto
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
Non tornare mai indietro e dimentica di aver mai visto il mio volto

La signora oscura giocò con la magia nera fino a quando l'orologio colpì le dodici
She told me more about me than I knew myself
Mi ha detto più di me di quanto io conoscessi me stesso
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
Così sono corso a casa e mi sono infilato nel mio letto
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Non riuscivo a dormire a causa di tutte le cose che aveva detto
Then I remembered her strange perfume
Poi ho ricordato il suo strano profumo
And how I smelled it was in my own room
E come l'ho annusato era nella mia stanza
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Così sono tornato di nascosto e l'ho sorpresa con il mio uomo
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
Ridendo e baciandosi fino a quando hanno visto la pistola nella mia mano
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
La prossima cosa che sapevo erano morti sul pavimento
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
La signora oscura non avrebbe mai più scoperto una carta

[Säkeistö 1]
Ei noussutkaan, hän autostaan
Hän silitti kissaansa vain helmassaan
Hän viittoi käymään mua vierelleen
Kun käski hän niin tiesin sen teen
Hän merkin ruutuun löi himmeän
Ja vaunut liikkuivat kuin itsestään
Ja pihaan varjoiseen päättyi tie
Hän sisään vei ja sanoi: "Ei tää kauan vie"
[Kertosäe]
Tuo tumma nainen, kohtaloni taikoi eteen mun
Hän maljaan mustaan juoman teki noidutun
Tuo tumma nainen tanssi kuten liekit nuotion
Hän kertoi huominen on mulle onneton
[Säkeistö 2]
Hän pakastaan, sai sotilaan
Ja mumisi outoja näin huuliltaan
"Sä luulet mies tuo on sinun vain
Mut toisen naisen mä nään korteistain
Sun täytyy mies tuo nyt unohtaa
Ja enää luoksein tulla et saa"
Mua neuvot oudot jäi vaivaamaan
Kun lähdin mietin, onko kaikki kohdallaan?
[Kertosäe]
Tuo tumma nainen, kohtaloni taikoi eteen mun
Hän maljaan mustaan juoman teki noidutun
Tuo tumma nainen tanssi kuten liekit nuotion
Hän kertoi huominen on mulle onneton
[Säkeistö 3]
Niin heittäydyin, mä vuoteeseen
Mut itkenyt en vaan mä nousin uudelleen
Ja yrtit juoman mä muistin vain
Kun löysin tuoksun tuon myös huoneestain
Mä salaa hiivin luo talon sen
Mä naurut kuulin ja kestänyt en
Kun aseen heitin mä kädestäin
Jäi syliin noidan ainiaaksi ystäväin
[Kertosäe]
Tuo tumma nainen, kohtaloni taikoi eteen mun
Hän maljaan mustaan juoman teki noidutun
Tuo tumma nainen tanssi kuten liekit nuotion
Hän kertoi huominen on mulle onneton
