Abrebrecha

Clear the Way

Abrebrecha

If the ribs restSi descansan las costillas
While the stick goes back and forthMientras el palo va y viene
And that from any splinterY que de cualquier astilla
The wedge can be removedSe puede sacar la cuña
Come on, my people don't sulkVamos, mi pueblo no fuña

He who has been a sailorEl que ha sido marinero
When he sees the sea, he sighsCuando ve la mar suspira
And he who lives in the darkY el que vive en la oscurana
Is dazzled by much lightCon mucha luz se escandila

Clear the way, companionAbrebrecha, compañero
As the wind of water blowsQue ya sopla viento de agua
And we must scare away the dogY ya hay que espantar el perro
Before it peesAntes que se eche la miada
Clear the way, companionAbrebrecha, compañero
As the wind of water blowsQue ya sopla viento de agua
And we must scare away the dogY ya hay que espantar el perro
Before it peesAntes que se eche la miada

The people who are proverbialEl pueblo que es refranero
Sing with their own prayerCanta con su propio rezo
Although a rosary of sorrowsAunque un rosario de penas
Hangs in their chestLleve guindando en su pecho
And we must sharpen the aimY ya hay que afinar el tino
That is, the accuracyEs decir, la puntería
Because even if it says obscenitiesQue aunque diga groserías
The people have the rightEl pueblo tiene derecho

And don't get mad at meY no se me ponga arrecho
But it's the plain truthPero es la pura verdad
That there is no worse curseQue no hay peor mala palabra
Than this same societyQue esta misma sociedad
That the biggest rudenessQue la mayor grosería
This society saysLa dice esta sociedad
