| Voy a prenderme en la solapa
| I'm going to catch on the lapel
|
| Un caer que huele a flores,
| A fall that smells of flowers,
|
| Un plantel con desamores,
| A campus with heartbreaks,
|
| Y a hacerme un verso que te cagas
| And to make me a verse that you shit
|
| Para ver si alguien lo traga
| To see if anyone swallows it
|
| Y engalana mis balcones,
| And decorate my balconies,
|
| No me hagas ni puto caso
| don't pay any attention to me
|
| Si paso a tu vera
| If I pass by your side
|
| Vendiendo fracaso como si fuera hierbabuena,
| Selling failure like mint
|
| Aunque las gitanas guapas no lo vendan ms barato
| Although the pretty gypsies don't sell it cheaper
|
| En el rastro donde pulen la tristeza,
| In the trace where they polish sadness,
|
| Hoy traigo un trino que da calma,
| Today I bring a trill that gives calm,
|
| Que est ronco de aguardiente,
| That he is hoarse from aguardiente,
|
| Que est harto de la gente,
| That he's fed up with people,
|
| Y traigo el peine de mi alma,
| And I bring the comb of my soul,
|
| Que ya est hasta los cojones
| That is up to the balls
|
| De peinar tirabuzones,
| of combing ringlets,
|
| No me hagas ni puto caso
| don't pay any attention to me
|
| Si paso a tu vera
| If I pass by your side
|
| Vendiendo fracaso como si fuera hierbabuena,
| Selling failure like mint
|
| Aunque las gitanas guapas no lo vendan ms barato
| Although the pretty gypsies don't sell it cheaper
|
| En el rastro donde pulen la tristeza,
| In the trace where they polish sadness,
|
| Te regalo mi fogata a fuego lento,
| I give you my simmering campfire,
|
| Pa tus ojos de sarmiento,
| For your eyes of vine,
|
| Y que no amanezca hoy,
| And don't let it dawn today,
|
| Por un beso yo me arrastro como un sapo,
| For a kiss I crawl like a toad,
|
| Como un prncipe en harapos,
| Like a prince in rags,
|
| En fin… Como lo que soy,
| In short… As what I am,
|
| Y pa que no me eches en falta
| And so you don't miss me
|
| Llorando como un chiquillo
| crying like a child
|
| Al ver marchar mi mercadillo
| Seeing my flea market go
|
| Te dejo el sueo que ms quiero,
| I leave you the dream that I love the most,
|
| Para anclarlo en tu sombrero
| To anchor it on your hat
|
| O para hacerte unos zarcillos. | Or to make yourself some earrings. |
