La Mortaja(original) |
Cuando tu te mueras |
No te llevas nada |
Unas bellas flores |
Tambien la mortaja |
Por que la pelona |
No respeta nada |
A pobres y a ricos |
Se los va llevando |
Entre carcajadas… |
El rico avariento |
Que guarda el dinero |
En cheques y acciones |
Joyas y terrenos |
Es bueno que afloje |
Que ayude a su hermano |
Pues nada se lleva |
Mientras muchos niños |
No han desayunado… |
(Coro) |
Cuando tu te mueras |
Tocaran campanas |
Te diran responsos |
De tarde y mañana |
Y a los pocos dias |
Te habran olvidado |
Mientras se reparten |
Yernos y parientes |
Lo que tu has dejado… |
Cuando tu te mueras |
No te llevas nada |
Ni el novillo gordo |
Ni las finas joyas |
Solo la mortaja… |
(Hablado) |
Esa seda que rebaja tus procederes cristianos |
Obra fue de los gusanos que labraron su mortaja |
Tambien en la region baja la tuya han de deborar |
¿de que te puedes jactar? |
y ¿en que tus glorias consisten? |
Si unos gusanos te visten, y otros te han de desnudar… |
De algunos patrones |
Se queja el obrero |
Unos son muy malos |
Otros son muy buenos |
Menos gananciales |
Menos dividendos |
Pagando lo justo |
El justo salario |
Vivirian contentos… |
(Coro) |
Cuando tu te mueras |
Tocaran campanas |
Te diran responsos |
De tarde y mañana |
Y a los pocos dias |
Te habran olvidado |
Mientras se reparten |
Yernos y parientes |
Lo que tu has dejado… |
Cuando tu te mueras |
No te llevas nada |
Ni el novillo gordo |
Ni las finas joyas |
Solo la mortaja… |
(translation) |
when you die |
you do not take anything |
some beautiful flowers |
also the shroud |
why the bald |
does not respect anything |
To poor and to rich |
she is taking them |
between laughter... |
the rich miser |
who keeps the money |
In checks and stocks |
Jewels and land |
It's good to loosen up |
Help your brother |
Well, nothing takes |
While many children |
They haven't had breakfast... |
(Chorus) |
when you die |
they will ring bells |
they will tell you answers |
in the evening and in the morning |
And a few days |
they will have forgotten you |
while they share |
Sons-in-law and relatives |
What you have left... |
when you die |
you do not take anything |
Not even the fat steer |
Nor the fine jewels |
Just the shroud... |
(spoken) |
That silk that lowers your Christian behavior |
Work was of the worms that carved their shroud |
Also in the lower region yours must pay |
what can you boast about? |
And what do your glories consist of? |
If some worms dress you, and others have to undress you... |
of some patterns |
The worker complains |
some are very bad |
others are very good |
Less profit |
less dividends |
Paying what is fair |
the fair salary |
They would be happy... |
(Chorus) |
when you die |
they will ring bells |
they will tell you answers |
in the evening and in the morning |
And a few days |
they will have forgotten you |
while they share |
Sons-in-law and relatives |
What you have left... |
when you die |
you do not take anything |
Not even the fat steer |
Nor the fine jewels |
Just the shroud... |
