El Gato Sabio

The Wise Cat

El Gato Sabio

You put sugar in the alarm clockTú le echas azúcar al despertador
I ask the time to the coffeeyo le pregunto la hora al café
and on the radio they tell us the same as last nighty por la radio nos cuentan lo mismo que anoche
but a little worsepero un poco peor

You tell me to come and I say I'm comingMe dices ven y yo te digo voy
and my little cat also approachesy mi gatito se acerca también
because he gets jealous, looks at us and wondersporque se pone celoso nos mira y se pregunta
'what are these two doing, not stopping touching each other,"¿qué hacen estos dos, que no se dejan de tocar,
and starting again?'y que ya empiezan otra vez?"
And I have to answer him that...Y yo le tengo que contestar que...

'You are an irrational little animal"Tú eres un animalito irracional
and you don't understand love and Iy no entiendes del amor y yo
will explain to youte voy a explicar
that I can't explain to youque no te puedo explicar
so it's betterasique será mejor
that you look the other way'que mires para otro lado"

Well, there are portions of yesterday's pizzaBien, quedan porciones de pizza de ayer
I turn on the TV to see how it ispongo la tele para ver qué tal
'Better turn it off because with so many dead people, it takes away the appetite"Mejor apaga que con tanto muerto se quitan las ganas
for dinner'de cenar"
And if we can't do anythingY que si nada podemos hacer
and where are we going to end upy que si a dónde vamos a llegar
and my little cat puts on glasses, gets on a lecterny mi gatito se pone unas gafas, se sube a un atril
and tells us 'meow! From my humble opiniony nos dice "¡miau! Desde mi modesta opinión
your species is doing it terribly,vuestra especie lo lleva fatal,
don't tell me love stories that...no me cuentes historias de amor que...

I am an irrational little animalYo soy un animalito irracional
and I don't understand lovey no entiendo del amor
and you are going to explain to me...y tú me vas a explicar...
what the hell are you going to explain to me?¿qué coño me vas a explicar?
You'll say that the dead people on the newsDirás que han muerto de amor
have died of lovelos muertos del telediario"
