New Orleans

You'll never know
What heaven means
Until you've been down to New Orleans
You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo
With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou

You've never seen
You've never seen those Cupid doll queens
Like they got 'em in New Orleans
And, ooh, they love you like no-one can
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man.

If-if-if you ain't been there
Then you ain't been nowhere
The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine
If you feel low down
So help me Hannah
You should lose the blues in Loui-si-i-si-ana.

Get the lead
Get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?
New Orleans
Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile
Live it up, love it up, southern style
Way down in New New Orleans.

Nueva Orleans

Nunca sabras
Lo que significa el cielo
Hasta que hayas estado en nueva Orleans
No habras vivido hasta que te acurruques
Con una nena de ojos negros

Nunca has visto
Nuca has visto esas muñecas de cupido
Como las tienen en nueva Orleans
Y ooh, ellas te aman como nadie mas
Te hace gratamente agradecido haber nacido hombre

Si si no has estado ahí
Entonces no has estado en ningún lado
La vida esta agusto y el amor esta bien
Si te sientes bajoneado
Entonces ayúdame Hannah
Deberías de perder la tristeza en louisiana

Agarra las riendas
Agarra las riendas de tus jeans
Y ve hacia, hacia donde?
Nueva Orleans
Luoisiana te dice que te quedes unrato
Vive, ama, al estilo sureño
Alli abajo en nuva orleans
