Free Nelson Mandela(original) |
Ya son las once y media y tú en la cama |
-me dijo mi morena gozadora- |
¿no crees que ya iría siendo hora |
De hacer un sacrificio por la causa? |
Le dije, encendiendo un cigarrillo: |
El mundo se está hundiendo en la demencia |
Y tú haciendo gala de inconsciencia |
Me pones entre el yunque y el martillo |
¡Free, Nelson Mandela set him… Free! |
Después me reprochó por haber vuelto |
Cocido, tipo tres de la mañana; |
De haberla despertado con mis ganas |
De transgredir el sexto mandamiento |
Le dije: Qui va piano va lontano |
La paz es solamente provisoria |
Y no es por levantarme que la historia |
Va a amanecer un poco más temprano |
Le dije que no hiciera una tormenta |
En una simple copa de vinacho |
Que no era por ponerme vivaracho |
Que es duro de llegar a los cuarenta |
Mañana tal vez no estaré contigo |
Y el mundo no será sino una ruina |
¿por qué no te lo tomas con andina |
Y vienes a pecar aquí conmigo? |
(translation) |
It's already half past eleven and you in bed |
-my enjoying brunette told me- |
don't you think it would be time |
To make a sacrifice for the cause? |
I told him, lighting a cigarette: |
The world is sinking into insanity |
And you displaying unconsciousness |
You put me between the anvil and the hammer |
Free, Nelson Mandela set him… Free! |
Later he reproached me for having returned |
Cooked, type three in the morning; |
Of having woken her up with my desire |
Of transgressing the sixth commandment |
I told him: Qui va piano va lontano |
Peace is only provisional |
And it's not because I got up that the story |
It's going to wake up a little earlier |
I told her not to make a storm |
In a simple glass of vinegar |
That it wasn't to get lively |
That it is hard to reach forty |
Tomorrow maybe I won't be with you |
And the world will be but a ruin |
why don't you take it with andina |
And you come to sin here with me? |
