I saw a street corner angel,
Aku melihat seorang malaikat di sudut jalan,
Platinum problems pressed against the wall.
Masalah platinum tertekan di dinding.
She paid her dues, bought stiletto shoes,
Dia sudah membayar harga, beli sepatu hak tinggi,
And had real mean pimp names Paul.
Dan punya makelar jahat bernama Paul.

Well, Paul, tied her up to the railroad tracks,
Nah, Paul, mengikatnya di rel kereta,
'Cause he didn't get the money on time,
Karena dia nggak dapat uang tepat waktu,
I heard her screaming loud from the other side of town,
Aku mendengar teriakannya keras dari sisi kota yang lain,
And the train was coming down the line.
Dan kereta itu datang meluncur.

Exclamation points jumped out her eyes,
Tanda seru melompat dari matanya,
Rips all across her fish net thighs,
Robek di paha jaring ikannya,
Big tears are rolling
Air mata besar mengalir
As I'm struggling to cut her loose.
Saat aku berjuang untuk membebaskannya.

She had a little bit of karma above her left eye,
Dia punya sedikit karma di atas mata kirinya,
Came in the shape of a scar..
Bentuknya seperti bekas luka..
I tried to help her out with a ride back home,
Aku mencoba membantunya pulang,
But, she jumped right out of my car.
Tapi, dia langsung melompat keluar dari mobilku.

Baby, I just really want to know you,
Sayang, aku benar-benar ingin mengenalmu,
Can't keep me away, not if you tried,
Nggak bisa menjauhkan aku, meski kamu coba,
Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry,
Tersesat di kotamu, nggak buru-buru,
I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me!
Aku lebih cepat dari pacarmu, dia nggak akan pernah menangkapku!

Since that night I really thought about things,
Sejak malam itu aku benar-benar memikirkan banyak hal,
I fell for an angel with the dirty wings.
Aku jatuh cinta pada malaikat dengan sayap kotor.
Now I have to find her, let her know how I feel,
Sekarang aku harus menemukannya, memberi tahu bagaimana perasaanku,
Got to tighten up some "bid'ness" for I make it real.
Harus beresin beberapa urusan agar bisa jadi nyata.

Paul didn't like that I pulled her off the tracks
Paul nggak suka aku membebaskannya dari rel
Real late last Saturday night.
Malam Sabtu yang sangat larut.
I knew he was mad when I got to the pad,
Aku tahu dia marah saat aku sampai di tempatnya,
'Cause he left me a real nice surprise.
Karena dia meninggalkanku kejutan yang sangat menyenangkan.

He dropped a little message in my mailbox,
Dia meninggalkan pesan di kotak suratku,
Told me where to meet him, that we had to talk,
Memberitahuku di mana harus menemuinya, bahwa kita harus bicara,
He said I shouldn't mess with his curly locks,
Dia bilang aku jangan main-main dengan rambut keritingnya,
And if I did again he'd pump me full of shots.
Dan jika aku melakukannya lagi, dia akan menembakku.

I took the meeting with that pimp named Paul,
Aku menghadiri pertemuan dengan makelar bernama Paul,
Stabbed in the heart and watched him fall,
Tertusuk di hati dan melihatnya jatuh,
Went looking for my angel all over the place,
Mencari malaikatku ke sana kemari,
I found her in a movie by Andrew Blake.
Aku menemukannya di film karya Andrew Blake.

Baby, I just really want to know you,
Sayang, aku benar-benar ingin mengenalmu,
Can't keep me away, not if you tried,
Nggak bisa menjauhkan aku, meski kamu coba,
Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry,
Tersesat di kotamu, nggak buru-buru,
I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me!
Aku lebih cepat dari pacarmu, dia nggak akan pernah menangkapku!
