El Sr. Durito Y Yo(original) |
| Estaba yo pensando en unas palabras para este encuentro |
| Estaba escribiendo un discurso para éste pueblo |
| Me distraje viendo a la luna, allá en las nubes, allá en el cielo |
| Estaba por declararme muy firmemente desconcertado |
| Bajé la mirada y vi que mi papel estaba en blanco |
| Me distraje viendo a un bichito muy parecido a un escarabajo |
| Yo soy Señor Durito, no soy un bicho ni escarabajo |
| Yo soy Señor Durito, héroe de niños y de ancianos |
| Con mi estirpe de caballero clavo mi lanza de buen lancero |
| Ay, ay, ay, ay, me voy a volar, y usted aquí esclavo de andar |
| Ay, ay, ay, ay, me voy a volar, y usted aquí esclavo de andar |
| Arriba, la luna, como una nube de crinolina |
| Con su rubor eterno mancha y mancha sus orillas |
| Abajo, hombres y mujeres soñando celebran la existencia |
| Yo suspirando para que la esperanza y la luna vuelvan |
| Ay, ay, ay, ay, me voy a volar, y usted aquí esclavo de andar |
| Escuche Señor Durito, unas palabras necesito |
| Para esta disertación sobre liberalismo |
| Me distrajo la luna y me distrajo usted, señor bichito |
| Escudero analfabeto que no sabe nada de esto |
| Como un buen plebeyo sabrá que no hay remedio |
| En esta globalización todos los globos se revientan |
| Nosotros, los que volamos somos tan libres como es el viento |
| Ustedes quedan abajo: son los rebeldes, son los chicanos |
| Son los negros, son los latinos, maricas, presos, los marginados |
| Ay, ay, ay, ay, me voy a volar, y usted aquí esclavo de andar |
| Ay, ay, ay, ay, me voy a volar, y usted aquí esclavo de andar |
| Arriba, la luna, toma una nube de crinolina |
| Con su rubor eterno mancha y mancha sus orillas |
| Abajo, hombres y mujeres soñando celebran la existencia |
| Yo suspirando para que la esperanza y la luna vuelvan |
| Ay, ay, ay, ay, me voy a volar, y usted aquí esclavo de andar |
| (translation) |
| I was thinking of a few words for this meeting |
| I was writing a speech for this town |
| I got distracted looking at the moon, there in the clouds, there in the sky |
| I was about to declare myself very firmly baffled |
| I looked down and saw that my paper was blank |
| I got distracted seeing a little bug very similar to a beetle |
| I am Señor Durito, I am not a bug or a beetle |
| I am Señor Durito, hero of children and the elderly |
| With my knightly lineage I nail my spear of a good lancer |
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm going to fly, and here you are a slave to walk |
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm going to fly, and here you are a slave to walk |
| Above, the moon, like a cloud of crinoline |
| With its eternal blush it stains and stains its shores |
| Below, dreaming men and women celebrate existence |
| Me sighing for hope and the moon to come back |
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm going to fly, and here you are a slave to walk |
| Listen Mr. Durito, I need a few words |
| For this dissertation on liberalism |
| The moon distracted me and you distracted me, mister little bug |
| Illiterate squire who knows nothing about this |
| As a good commoner he will know that there is no remedy |
| In this globalization all the balloons burst |
| We who fly are as free as the wind |
| You stay below: you are the rebels, you are the Chicanos |
| It's the blacks, it's the Latinos, queers, prisoners, the outcasts |
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm going to fly, and here you are a slave to walk |
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm going to fly, and here you are a slave to walk |
| Above, the moon, take a cloud of crinoline |
| With its eternal blush it stains and stains its shores |
| Below, dreaming men and women celebrate existence |
| Me sighing for hope and the moon to come back |
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm going to fly, and here you are a slave to walk |
