Lyrics
There’s a letter to your mother that is hidden is my desk
– Illic ‘ a litteras ad matrem tuam quae est occultatum est mihi desk
That I wrote to her in a sober mind
– Quod scripsi ad eam sobrii mentem
It’s my apology for all the things I used to be
– Excusatio mea est pro omnibus quae solebam esse
And swearin’ I’ll change over time
– Juro jovem ‘ il tempo ci cambia
She might not believe me ’cause no one ever does
– Me adspirare non posses ‘ causam nemo umquam facit
Except her daughter that loves me true
– Excepturi ea qui odio vero
God forbid all it takes for a boy to finally wait
– Or deus qui conspicis quia puer capit tandem expectare
Just to be cherished and loved all the way through
– Iustus esse dilexit et fovet per omnem viam
She lets me drink my liquor when I’m singin’ through the night
– Bibere permittit liquorem meum cum cantu sum ‘ per noctem
She slaps my hand when it’s too much
– Illa alapas manum meam cum suus nimis
She’s mean and she’s kind, strong and divine
– Et illa quae intelliguntur est genus, fortis et divina
And Lord only knows how tough
– Et dominus solus novit quam lenta
So dear Miss, by the time you see this
– Ita Carus, per tempus vides haec
It’ll be in love or it’ll be in pain
– Quod youll ‘ exsisto in amore aut illud erit in dolore
May God bless and keep us
– Benedicat nos Deus et custodiat
May you think kind of my name
– Cum te cheama
And I know I’ve had my days and I’ve made my mistakes
– Et ego scio quod diebus meis ego feci errata
So please point me to the nearest perfect man
– Pour vous me recontacter s ‘ il vous plait
I’ll gladly take advice from a man with no vice
– Ego libenter accipere consilium ab homine nihil vitium
If it means I can hold your hand
– Se posso contribuire fatemelo sapere
She was raised up proper and I was raised up
– Et erexit eum propriis et erexit me
With a poor working boy’s heart
– Cum pauper operantes cordis pueri
The way the light is beatin’ on her smilin’ cheeks this evenin’
– Via lucis est beatin ‘in eius smilin ‘ genas hoc evenin’
Is the finest of the world’s fine art
– Esiste un ‘arte dell’ arte
So dear Miss, by the time you see this
– Ita Carus, per tempus vides haec
I’ll be in love or it’ll be in vain
– L ‘ amour, on ne le discute pas, il est
So may God bless and keep us
– Benedicat nos deus et custodiat
May you think kind of my name
– Cum te cheama
And she’s standin’ in the doorway ramblin’ on about my old ways
– In via portat.’ [748] fatuae sunt
How they were reckless and free
– Quam temeraria et libera erant
How all my imperfections and every ugly lesson
– Quomodo omnes imperfectiones meas et omnem deformem lectionem
Is worth every last second with me
– Valet omne ultimum secundum mecum
