Translation of the song lyrics Morcillo Lopez - El Cuarteto de Nos

Morcillo Lopez (original)

yo soy morcillo lopez
y les voy a contar mi historia
resulta que
yo andaba paseando un día
por mi lindo montevideo
iba chupando un mate amargo
y morfando unos buñuelos
cuando en eso un par de tipos
se bajan de una limusina
me dieron cuatro patadas
me metieron a trompadas
y el termo se me hizo harina
me gritaron «desertor"en un acento
que nervioso me puso
me mostraron una foto
de un astronauta ruso
el tipo era igualito a mi
y dije chau, me confundieron
con mi mochila violeta
ahímarchéen una avioneta
pa' rusia muerto de miedo
morcillo lopez
siga su historia
morcillo lopez
que ustéya estáen la gloria
porque su hazaña
como ninguna
ser el primer uruguayo en la luna
enseguida que llegamos agarraron
me metieron en el cohete
mientras trataba de explicarles
que yo no era el tipo ese
y pensar que hacía un rato soñaba
con una playa de jamaica
ir al espacio no quería
porque sabría que me iría
peor que a la perra laika
y ahíprendieron los motores, si
y la nave despegó, no
yo no sabría explicarles, si
mi estado de frenesí, no, si
había un libro de instrucciones
pero estaba todo en ruso
y me tuve que arreglar con lo que la patrona
en mi mochila violeta puso
morcillo lopez
siga su historia
morcillo lopez
que ustéya estáen la gloria
porque su hazaña
como ninguna
ser el primer uruguayo en la luna
la patrona había puesto, que ironía
un cacho de ensalada rusa
y un vientito que entraba lo tapé
con un boleto de cutcsa
si faltaba combustible le echaba
en el tanque una grapita
y una palanca que no andaba la arreglé
usando la grasa de una torta frita
si venía un meteorito volando
yo le tiraba una alpargata
y pa no salir flotando
me atéel termo entre las patas
y por la gravedad yo solo podía
tomar mate con auxana
y por la radio que me hablaban
a esa altura ya sonaba el casette de araca la cana
morcillo lopez
siga su historia
morcillo lopez
que ustéya estáen la gloria
porque su hazaña
como ninguna
ser el primer uruguayo en la luna
vo roberto
y la canción como sigue
para cuando
como el día más glorioso
don morcillo ya se va
que morcillo no se olvide
me parecióver un grafiti que decía
que gardel nación en la luna
pero yo con la manija ya era
como un piloto de pluna
asíque cuando alunicéme dije
la patrona me traicionó
porque la única bandera que tenía pa clavar
era la de peñarol
morcillo lopez
siga su historia
morcillo lopez
que ustéya estáen la gloria
porque su hazaña
como ninguna
ser el primer uruguayo en la luna
y si amigas
amigas y amigos
que marginan este escenario de momo
morcillo lopez se va
se va
pero esto no va a ser un adios
sino un hasta nunca
porque el cuarteto
el cuarteto en su tren bala también se va
y no olvide
que por contrataciones
debe llamar al número
y como lo muchachada buchangera
yo también me voy
anda a cagar

(translation)

I am morcillo lopez
and I'm going to tell you my story
it turns out that
I was walking one day
for my beautiful montevideo
I was sucking a bitter mate
and morphing some fritters
when at it a couple of guys
they get out of a limousine
they kicked me four times
they punched me
and the thermos turned into flour
they yelled "deserter" at me in an accent
how nervous it made me
they showed me a photo
of a Russian astronaut
the guy was just like me
and I said bye, they confused me
with my violet backpack
there I went on a plane
for russia scared to death
morcillo lopez
follow his story
morcillo lopez
that you are already in glory
because his feat
like none
to be the first Uruguayan on the moon
as soon as we arrived they grabbed
they put me in the rocket
while trying to explain
that I was not that guy
and to think that a while ago I was dreaming
with a Jamaican beach
go to space did not want
because I would know that I would go
worse than laika bitch
and there they started the engines, yes
and the ship took off, no
I would not know how to explain, yes
my state of frenzy, no, yeah
there was an instruction book
but it was all in russian
and I had to make do with what the boss
in my violet backpack he put
morcillo lopez
follow his story
morcillo lopez
that you are already in glory
because his feat
like none
to be the first Uruguayan on the moon
the boss had put, what an irony
a piece of Russian salad
and a little wind that came in I covered it up
with a cutcsa ticket
if there was no fuel, he would put it
in the tank a grapita
and I fixed a lever that didn't work
using the fat from a fried cake
if a meteor came flying
I threw an espadrille at him
and to not float out
I tied the thermos between my legs
and because of gravity I could only
drink mate with auxana
and on the radio they spoke to me
at that point the cassette of araca la cana was already playing
morcillo lopez
follow his story
morcillo lopez
that you are already in glory
because his feat
like none
to be the first Uruguayan on the moon
vo roberto
and the song as follows
when
like the most glorious day
don morcillo is already leaving
that morcillo do not forget
I thought I saw some graffiti that said
that gardel was born on the moon
but I was already with the handle
like a moon pilot
so when i woke up i said
the boss betrayed me
because the only flag that she had to nail
it was the one from peñarol
morcillo lopez
follow his story
morcillo lopez
that you are already in glory
because his feat
like none
to be the first Uruguayan on the moon
and yes friends
friends and friends
that marginalize this scenario of momo
morcillo lopez leaves
it goes
but this is not going to be goodbye
but a see you never
because the quartet
the quartet on their bullet train is also leaving
and don't forget
that for hiring
you must call the number
and like the buchangera girl
I'm leaving too
go shit
