Pedro Navaja (original)Pedro Navaja (translation)
Por la esquina del viejo barrio lo vi pasar I saw him pass by the corner of the old neighborhood
Con el tumbao que tienen los guapos al caminar With the tumbao that handsome men have when walking
Las manos siempre en los bolsillos de su gabán Hands always in the pockets of his coat
Pa’que no sepan en el cual de ellas lleva el puñal So that they do not know in which of them he carries the dagger
Usa un sobrero de ala ancha de medio la’o Wear a wide-brimmed, half-round hat
Y zapatillas pa’si hay problemas salir vola’o And slippers for if there are problems to fly out
Lentes oscuros pa’que no sepan que está mirando Dark glasses so they don't know what you're looking at
Y un diente de oro que cuando ríe se ve brillando And a gold tooth that shines when he laughs
Como a tres cuadras de aquella esquina una mujer About three blocks from that corner a woman
Va recorriendo la acera entera por quinta vez She walks the entire sidewalk for the fifth time
Y en un zaguán entra y se da un trago para olvidar And in a hall she enters and takes a drink to forget
Que el día está flojo y no hay clientes pa’trabajar That the day is lazy and there are no clients to work
Un carro pasa muy despacito por la avenida A car passes very slowly down the avenue
No tiene marcas pero to’saben que es policía He has no marks but everyone knows he is a police officer
Pedro Navaja y el diente de oro vuelva a brillar Pedro Navaja and the gold tooth shines again
Mientras camina pasa la vista de esquina a esquina As he walks he looks from corner to corner
No se ve un alma está desierta to’a la avenida Not a soul is seen, the entire avenue is deserted
Cuando de pronto esa mujer sale del zaguán When suddenly that woman comes out of the hall
Y Pedro Navaja aprieta un puño dentro del gabán And Pedro Navaja squeezes a fist inside his coat
Mira pa’un lado mira pa’el otro y no ve a nadie He looks to one side he looks to the other and he doesn't see anyone
Y a la carrera pero sin ruido cruza la calle And on the run but without noise she crosses the street
Y mientras tanto en la otra acera va esa mujer And meanwhile on the other sidewalk is that woman
Refunfuñando pues no hizo pesos con que comer Grumbling because she did not make pesos with which to eat
Mientras camina del viejo abrigo saca un revólver esa mujer While walking from the old coat that woman takes out a revolver
Iba a guardarlo en su cartera pa’que no estorbe She was going to keep it in her bag so she wouldn't get in the way
Un treinta y ocho smith and wesson del especial One thirty-eight smith and wesson from the special
Que carga encima pa’que la libre de todo mal That she carries on top to free her from all evil
Y Pedro Navaja puñal en mano le fue pa’encima And Pedro Navaja, dagger in hand, went over the top
El diente de oro iba alumbrando to' a la avenida «guiso fácil» The gold tooth was lighting up all the avenue "easy stew"
Mientras reía el puñal le hundía sin compasión While he laughed the dagger she plunged him without compassion
Cuando de pronto sonó un disparo como una cañón When suddenly she rang a shot like a cannon
Y Pedro Navaja cayó en la acera mientras veía, a esa mujer And Pedro Navaja fell on the sidewalk while he saw that woman
Que revólver en mano y de muerte herida a él le decía That revolver in hand and of wounded death he told him
Yo que pensaba hoy no es mi día, estoy salá' I thought today is not my day, I'm out
Pero Pedro Navaja tu estás peor no estás en ná' But Pedro Navaja, you're worse, you're not in anything
Y créanme gente que aunque hubo ruido nadie salió And believe me people that although there was noise nobody came out
No hubo curiosos, no hubo preguntas nadie lloró There were no onlookers, there were no questions, no one cried
Sólo un borracho con los dos muertos se tropezó Just a drunk with the two dead tripped
Cogió el revólver, el puñal, los pesos y se marchó He took the revolver, the dagger, the pesos and left
Y tropezando se fue cantando desafina’o And stumbling he left singing out of tune
El coro que aquí les traje y da el mensaje mi canción The choir that I brought you here and my song gives the message
La vida te da sorpresas, sorpresas te da la vida ¡ay dios! Life gives you surprises, life gives you surprises, oh god!
Pedro Navaja ladrón de esquina Pedro Navaja corner thief
Quien a hierro mata a hierro termina Who kills iron to iron ends
La vida te da … The life give you …
Maleante pescador pa’el anzuelo que tiraste Maleante fisherman for the hook that you threw
En vez de una sardina un tiburón enganchaste Instead of a sardine, you hooked a shark
I like to live in America I like to live in America
La vida te da … The life give you …
Ocho millones de historias tiene la ciudad de Nueva York Eight million stories has the city of New York
La vida te da … The life give you …
Como decia mi abuelita el que dé último rie se rie mejor As my grandmother used to say, the one who laughs last laughs best
I like to live in America I like to live in America
La vida te da The life give you
Cuando lo manda el destino no lo cambia ni el mas bravo When destiny sends it, not even the bravest changes it
Si naciste pa’martillo del cielo te caen los clavos If you were born for a hammer from heaven, the nails will fall on you
La vida te da … The life give you …
En barrio de guapo cuidado en la acera In handsome neighborhood care on the sidewalk
Cuidao cámara que el que no corre vuela Take care camera that the one who does not run flies
La vida te da … The life give you …
Como en una novela de Kafka Like in a Kafka novel
El borracho dobló por el callejónThe drunk turned down the alley
