Letra 'The Watchmaker's Apprentice' de 'The Clockwork Quartet' traducida al español

That Mr McArthur's looked all over town,
But he won't find me now for I'm off coastward bound.
And I'm trading the smog for some fresh salt sea air
And he'll never catch on that I'm there.

I was once his apprentice, in the clock-making trade,
And the miser made me work for every penny of my wage.
Til he found he could replace me with a clockwork machine,
And he threw me right out on the street.

I'm not the type who would grovel and pray
That he deign to recant and permit to stay,
So I cursed him and left and I solemnly swore that he'd pay.

Now Mr McArthur has very poor eyes,
And he never did see me when he left work at night.
And once in a while he would forget to check
That his workshop back window was closed.

No I'm not a burglar and I'm no vandal nor.
The old man had to suffer, but I wanted something more:
I wanted him to feel it and know it was me,
And I knew that his clocks were the key.

I sat in his workshop, my thoughts running wild,
Then it suddenly hit me, and I looked up and I smiled
For I knew that I'd have him and I knew that I'd do it in style.

I tell you that clockwork's a powerful thing;
There's a terrible strength in those tightly wound springs.
And a gentleman's pocketwatch stays by his heart,
And that's where the damage can start.

Now I'm no machine but I can work when I choose,
With hands good as any when I've something to prove.
So I stayed up all night among cogs, springs and screws,
And I didn't stop till I was through.

I rigged up a watch to do more than just chime ,
And I didn't baulk once at the depth of my crime -
A most perfect invention that still kept immaculate time.

The next week a young man stopped by in the shop,
Took a shine to a timepiece and paid on the spot.
He wound it, and wore it, and at 6 on the dot
He came to a messy and permanent stop.

Now Mr McArthur's got blood on his hands,
And he barely made bail, he's a ruined man,
And surely he knows who his downfall was planned by,

It's all worked out like clockwork.

Que el Sr. McArthur se veía toda la ciudad,
Pero no me va a encontrar ahora me voy hacia la costa, obligado.
Y estoy de comercio de la contaminación de un poco de aire fresco del mar de sal
Y nunca cogerá el que estoy ahí.

Una vez fui su aprendiz, en el comercio de la relojería,
Y el avaro me hizo trabajar hasta el último centavo de mi salario.
Hasta que descubrió que podía reemplazar con una máquina de relojería,
Y él me lanzó derecho en la calle.

Yo no soy de los que se arrastran y orar
Que él se digne a retractarse y permiso de residencia,
Así que lo maldijo y se fue y me juró que él pagaría.

Ahora el Sr. McArthur tiene los ojos muy pobres,
Y él nunca me vio cuando salió de trabajar de noche.
Y de vez en cuando él se olvide de comprobar
Que su ventana de atrás del taller estaba cerrado.

No, yo no soy un ladrón y yo no soy ni el vandalismo.
El anciano tuvo que sufrir, pero yo quería algo más:
Yo quería que él se siente y saber que era yo,
Y yo sabía que sus relojes eran la clave.

Me senté en su taller, mis pensamientos corriendo salvaje,
Entonces, de repente me golpeó y me miró y me sonrió
Porque yo sabía que yo lo tengo y sabía que lo haría con estilo.
