Lyrics of Hay Que Comer - El Cuarteto de Nos

Hay Que Comer (original)

La luz está vencida, la plata se acabó
Nos cortaron el agua y el arroz se terminó
Y pensar que hasta hace poco tiempo no estábamos tan mal
Los fines de semana comíamos en restorán
Y mis chicos siempre fueron a colegio privado
Ahora en la puerta del colegio venden maní robado
Y para comprar alcohol que nuestras penas selle
Le rompimos la chanchita que les dejaron los reyes
Mi auto se pudre en el garage
Porque la nafta ya no me da
No soy materialista pero que le vamo' a hacer
Si antes teníamos guita y ahora se nos fue
Y hay que comer, ye, ye, ye
Hay que comer, uuu, uuuuu
Hay que comer, ye, ye, ye
Hay que comer, mami
A mi madre internada la maté ayer con un fierro
Porque me salía más caro el asilo que el entierro
Y el invierno está tan crudo que quemamos en el fogón
Las Barbies de la nena y el Nintendo del varón
Y el caniche Cuqui fue a parar
A un guiso que hice espectacular
No soy materialista pero que le vamo' a hacer
Si antes teníamos guita y ahora se nos fue
Y hay que comer, ye, ye, ye
Hay que comer, uuu, uuuuu
Hay que comer, ye, ye, ye
Hay que comer, ¡aaaaaaaaaaa!
Y hablando del varón, se lo vendimos a un rajá
Y la nena del medio está yirando en bulevar
Al más grande lo mantiene una vieja jubilada
Que si la atiende bien me lo manda con empanadas
Y a mi mujer de golpe apendicitis le surgió
Y no teníamos plata para pagar un doctor
La operé yo mismo con un cortauñas y algodón
Y el apéndice era grande y en el guiso termino
No soy materialista pero que le vamo' a hacer
Si antes teníamos guita y ahora se nos fue
Y hay que comer, ye, ye, ye
Hay que comer, uuu, uuuu
Hay que comer, ye, ye, ye
Hay que comer, mami
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
¡Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

(translation)

The light is expired, the silver is over
They cut off our water and the rice ran out
And to think that until recently we were not so bad
On weekends we ate in a restaurant
And my boys always went to private school
Now at the school gate they sell stolen peanuts
And to buy alcohol that our sorrows seal
We broke the piggy bank that the kings left them
My car rots in the garage
Because the gasoline no longer gives me
I'm not materialistic but what are we going to do
If before we had twine and now it's gone
And you have to eat, ye, ye, ye
You have to eat, uuu, uuuuu
You have to eat, ye, ye, ye
You have to eat, mom
I killed my hospitalized mother yesterday with an iron
Because asylum was more expensive than burial
And winter is so raw that we burn on the stove
The Barbies of the girl and the Nintendo of the man
And the Cuqui poodle ended up
To a stew that I made spectacular
I'm not materialistic but what are we going to do
If before we had twine and now it's gone
And you have to eat, ye, ye, ye
You have to eat, uuu, uuuuu
You have to eat, ye, ye, ye
You have to eat, aaaaaaaaaaa!
And speaking of the male, we sold him to a raja
And the girl in the middle is riding on the boulevard
The largest is kept by an old pensioner
That if he treats her well, she sends it to me with empanadas
And my wife suddenly had appendicitis
And we didn't have money to pay for a doctor
I operated it myself with a nail clipper and cotton
And the appendix was big and in the stew it ended
I'm not materialistic but what are we going to do
If before we had twine and now it's gone
And you have to eat, ye, ye, ye
You have to eat, uuuu, uuuu
You have to eat, ye, ye, ye
You have to eat, mom
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
Uuu, uuuuuuuu
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
