Lyrics of Manfreddi - El Cuarteto de Nos

Manfreddi (original)

Manfreddi tenía un hijo retardado mental
Era viudo y mantenía a su suegra y a su mama
Y cuando llegaba la hora de almorzar salia de trabajar
Cuando se encontraba meta cocinar las viejas solían gritar
Danos de comer, ay, ay, ay, ay
Que ya son la una, ay, ay, ay, ay
Venime a cambiar, ay, ay, ay, ay
Que ya me hice encima, ay, ay, ay, ay
Manfreddi vivía ahorrando para poder vivir
Se pudo comprar la casa un mes antes de morir
Cuando agonizaba en el hospital el cura le vino a rezar
Y por los pasillos bailan enfermeras al ritmo del sermón final
Ten piedad señor, ay, ay, ay, ay
De este pobre idiota, ay, ay, ay, ay
Derrama tu amor, ay, ay, ay, ay
Sobre este tarado, ay, ay, ay, ay
El dios de los infelices no lo dejó entrar
Pues ya tenía albergado, a más de media uruguay
Y después de un largo y duro deambular al infierno fue a parar
Luego de una espera frente al gran portal abrieron y pudo pasar
A penas entro, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ya se lo clavaron, ay, ay, ay, ay
Pero le gusto, ay, ay, ay, ay
Asi que lo echaron, ay, ay, ay, ay

(translation)

Manfreddi had a mentally retarded son
He was a widower and supported his mother-in-law and his mother.
And when it was time for lunch he left work
When he was meta cooking the old women used to shout
Give us to eat, oh, oh, oh, oh
That it's already one o'clock, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come to change, oh, oh, oh, oh
That I already made myself, oh, oh, oh, oh
Manfreddi lived saving to be able to live
He was able to buy the house a month before he died
When he was dying in the hospital the priest came to pray
And through the corridors nurses dance to the rhythm of the final sermon
Have mercy Lord, oh, oh, oh, oh
Of this poor idiot, oh, oh, oh, oh
Pour out your love, oh, oh, oh, oh
About this moron, oh, oh, oh, oh
The god of the unhappy did not let him in
Well, he already had shelter, more than half of Uruguay
And after a long hard wander to hell he ended up
After a wait in front of the great portal they opened and he was able to pass
I barely entered, oh, oh, oh, oh
They already nailed it, oh, oh, oh, oh
But he liked it, oh, oh, oh, oh
So they kicked him out, oh, oh, oh, oh
