Hello. Welcome to the world of KAJSA OHMAN.
Story behind the song
A couple sit in a bar (in Santa Fe) watching the baseball game (which is at the bottom of the fifth) and getting hammered (they have reached the bottom of the fifth) and having a love-hate fight. I know no Spanish equivalent for the pun on the bottom of the fifth, but the song goes along fine without it. True love needs no puns.
Lyrics
Smoke-filled mouth, you're lying
I can't believe the things I'm hearing
Must have been something we've been drinking
Cause I've never struck out like this.
The TV's keepin' the score--
That barmaid's keeping it, too--
You and me, nothing to nothing
At the bottom of the fifth.
Si yo gano, voy a perderte
Y si tu ganas, vas a menospreciarme.
Si me ablando, para cortejarte,
Al final estare perdida.
Yo no puedo jugar limpio contigo
Pero no puedo dejarte ir--
Tu y yo, desconocidos
En esto juego del amor.
How can we play the game
When we're both nearly out of our head
Pitchin it out like we're already dead
Maybe we should just forfeit the game
Or maybe we should pray for rain.
What I really wan to do is love you
And you really wanna love me, too--
Couldn't we slide into home, now
At the bottom of the fifth.
