When I first met Doreen
Saat pertama kali aku bertemu Doreen
She was barely seventeen.
Dia masih berumur tujuh belas tahun.
She was drinking whiskey sours in the bar.
Dia sedang minum whiskey sour di bar.

The way she tossed 'em back
Cara dia menenggak minumannya
I would've had a heart attack.
Aku pasti bakal serangan jantung.
But as it is I let her drive my car.
Tapi ya sudahlah, aku biarkan dia nyetir mobilku.

We galloped through the boroughs
Kami meluncur melintasi kota-kota
Like a pair of horny thoroughbreds,
Seperti dua kuda jantan yang bernafsu,
Until I said, "Stop the car, Doreen."
Sampai aku bilang, "Hentikan mobilnya, Doreen."

Well you can roll your eyes and nod
Kamu bisa memutar matamu dan mengangguk
But I swear that I saw God,
Tapi aku bersumpah aku melihat Tuhan,
In the moonlight on a side street in the wreckage we call Queens.
Dalam cahaya bulan di jalan kecil di reruntuhan yang kita sebut Queens.

Doreen, Doreen, Last night I had an awful dream.
Doreen, Doreen, semalam aku bermimpi buruk.
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen.
Kamu terbaring di pelukan seorang pria yang tidak pernah aku lihat.
Come clean Doreen. Come clean Doreen.
Jujurlah Doreen. Jujurlah Doreen.

Well I'm pulling into Cleveland
Sekarang aku tiba di Cleveland
In a seven-seater tour van.
Dalam van tur yang muat tujuh orang.
There's eight of us, so I'm sleeping on the floor.
Kami ada delapan, jadi aku tidur di lantai.

The guy that plays the banjo
Orang yang main banjo
Keeps on handing me the Old Crow,
Terus saja memberiku Old Crow,
Which multiplies my sorrow, I can't take it anymore.
Yang hanya menambah kesedihanku, aku tidak bisa tahan lagi.

Doreen, Doreen, last night I had an awful dream.
Doreen, Doreen, semalam aku bermimpi buruk.
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen.
Kamu terbaring di pelukan seorang pria yang tidak pernah aku lihat.
Come clean Doreen. Come clean Doreen.
Jujurlah Doreen. Jujurlah Doreen.

Now I'm begging and I'm pleading,
Sekarang aku memohon dan merayu,
"Well pull over guys, I'm bleeding.
“Ayo berhenti teman-teman, aku berdarah.
There's a Fina off the highway with a phone."
Ada pom bensin di pinggir jalan dengan telepon.”

I'm calling you Doreen,
Aku meneleponmu Doreen,
But it rings and rings and rings.
Tapi teleponnya berdering terus.
Where is it that you are, if you aren't in our bed at home.
Di mana kamu sekarang, jika kamu tidak ada di tempat tidur kita di rumah?

Doreen, Doreen, last night I had an awful dream.
Doreen, Doreen, semalam aku bermimpi buruk.
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen.
Kamu terbaring di pelukan seorang pria yang tidak pernah aku lihat.
Come clean Doreen. Come clean Doreen.
Jujurlah Doreen. Jujurlah Doreen.
