Let me tell you a story to chill the bones Let me tell you a story to chill the bones Déjame contarte una historia para congelarte los huesos About a thing that I saw About a thing that I saw Sobre una cosa que yo vi One night wandering in the everglades One night wandering in the everglades Una noche vagabundeando en los pantanos I'd one drink but no more I'd one drink but no more Yo quería un trago nada más I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight Estaba paseando, disfrutando la brillante luz de la luna Gazing up at the stars Gazing up at the stars Mirando a las estrellas Not aware of a presence so near to me Not aware of a presence so near to me Sin estar conciente de una presencia muy cerca de mí Watching my every move Watching my every move Mirando cada movimiento Feeling scared and I fell to my knees Feeling scared and I fell to my knees Sintiéndome asustado caí de rodillas As something rushed me from the trees As something rushed me from the trees Mientras algo se lanzó hacia mí desde los árboles Took me to an unholy place Took me to an unholy place Me llevó a un lugar impío And that is where I fell from grace And that is where I fell from grace Y ahí es donde caí en gracia Then they summoned me over to join in with them Then they summoned me over to join in with them Entonces ellos me rodearon para unirme a ellos To the dance of the dead To the dance of the dead A la danza de la muerte Into the circle of fire I followed them Into the circle of fire I followed them Dentro del círculo de fuego los seguí Into the middle I was led Into the middle I was led En el medio fui llevado As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear Y como si el tiempo se hubiera parado aún estaba adormecido del miedo But still I wanted to go But still I wanted to go Pero todavía quería seguir And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me Y el flamear del fuego no me hería sobre mí As I walked onto the coals As I walked onto the coals Mientras caminaba entre las brasas And I felt I was in a trance And I felt I was in a trance Y sentí que estaba en un trance And my spirit was lifted from me And my spirit was lifted from me Y mi espíritu se levantó de mí And if only someone had the chance And if only someone had the chance Y si sólo alguien tuviera la oportunidad To witness what happened to me To witness what happened to me para testificar lo que me pasó a mí And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them Y yo bailé y yo salté y yo canté con ellos All had death in their eyes All had death in their eyes Todo tenía muerte en sus ojos Lifeless figures they were undead all of them Lifeless figures they were undead all of them Figuras sin vida todos ellos eran unos muertos vivientes They had ascended from hell They had ascended from hell Habían ascendido desde el infierno As I danced with the dead As I danced with the dead Mientras bailaba con la muerte My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me Mi espíritu libre estaba riendo y aullándome Below my undead body Below my undead body Bajo mi cuerpo sin vida Just danced the circle of dead Just danced the circle of dead Sólo bailaba en el círculo de los muertos Until the time came to reunite us both Until the time came to reunite us both Hasta que el tiempo llegó a reunirnos a todos My spirit came back down to me My spirit came back down to me Mi espíritu regresó a mí I didn't know if I was alive or dead I didn't know if I was alive or dead No sabía si estaba vivo o muerto As the others all joined in with me As the others all joined in with me Mientras los otros se juntaban conmigo By luck then a skirmish started By luck then a skirmish started Por suerte entonces una pelea comenzó And took the attention away from me And took the attention away from me Y llevó la atención lejos de mí When they took their gaze from me When they took their gaze from me Cuando ellos volvieron su vista hacia mí Was the moment that I fled Was the moment that I fled Fue el momento en que huí I ran like hell faster than the wind I ran like hell faster than the wind Yo corrí como el infierno más rápido que el viento But behind I did not glance But behind I did not glance Pero detrás no tenía vista alguna One thing that I did not dare One thing that I did not dare Una cosa a la que no me arriesgaba Was to look just straight ahead Was to look just straight ahead Fue a mirar sólo hacia adelante When you know that your time has come around When you know that your time has come around Cuando sepas que tu momento ronda alrededor You know you'll be prepared for it You know you'll be prepared for it Sabrás que estarás preparado para eso Say your last goodbyes to everyone Say your last goodbyes to everyone Di tus últimos adioses a todos Drink and say a prayer for it Drink and say a prayer for it Bebe y reza una oración por eso When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed Cuando te vas quedando dormido, cuando te estás recostando en tu cama And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead Y despiertas de tus sueños para ir a bailar con los muertos When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed Cuando te vas quedando dormido, cuando te estás recostando en tu cama And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead Y despiertas de tus sueños para ir a bailar con los muertos To this day I guess I'll never know To this day I guess I'll never know A este día creo que nunca sabré Just why they let me go Just why they let me go Por qué ellos sólo me dejaron ir But I'll never go dancing no more But I'll never go dancing no more Pero nunca iré a bailar otra vez 'Til I dance with the dead 'Til I dance with the dead Hasta que baile con la muerte
