Homely Girl, John Holt, UB40

Només he aconseguit la versió UB40... No sé si són exactament iguals...

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say,
you looked better in the dark.
But now they'd give all they learnt in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you

The teacher would ask the questions
And you, would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh yes you are
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh yeah

There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
Oooh you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh homely girl

I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
And the dirty looks
Cause I saw then what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date
They don't know how, they don't know how

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh yeah
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, ooh yea, ooh hoo

You're a beautiful woman

TRADUCCIÓ:

Deu haver-te trencat el cor
Sentir els nois quan deien,
que eres millor a les fosques.
Però ara donarien tot el que han aprés a l'escola
Per ser a algun lloc a les fosques amb tu

El professor feia preguntes
I tu, sempre aixecaves la mà
Però d'alguna manera mai no et feien cas
I els meus ulls, plens d'aigua mentre cremava per dins

Noia senzilla, solies estar tan sola
Ets una dona bonica, oi tant!
Noia Senzilla, solies estar tan sola
Ets una dona bonica, o si!

Hi havia un noi que es solia asseure al teu costat
Que voldria conservar per sempre aquest lloc
Oh, sempre has estat maca per a mi
Tenies un cor que els altres no podien sentir, si que el tenies

Noia senzilla, solies estar tan sola
Ets una dona bonica, noia senzilla

Jo era l'únic que s'oferia
Per a portar-te els llibres
sota mirades atònites i rialles
I cares de menyspreu
Perquè aleshores veia el que ells veuen ara
Tot el que ells volen és una cita
I no saben com, no saben com

Noia senzilla, solies estar tan sola
Ets una dona bonica, si que ho ets
Noia senzilla, solies estar tan sola!
Ets una dona bonica, oh si!

Ets una dona bonica
