Chapita

Chapita lives in his prison without skyChapita vive en su cárcel sin cielo
Where there are no bars, no peace, no solaceDonde no hay rejas, ni paz ni consuelo
Could it be the songs he never sang¿Serán las canciones que nunca canto
or the hug he never received?o el abrazo que nunca le dieron?

Chapita threatens you with a smileChapita te amenaza sonriente
He's not that bad but he's obedientEl no están malo pero es obediente
Were they taught to behave like this¿Le habrán enseñado a portarse así
in the school of men without foreheads?en la escuela de hombres sin frente?

Chapita says he's going to take meChapita dice que me va a llevar
To Devoto but it's not truePara Devoto pero no es verdad
With a badge, uniform, cap, namelessDe placa, uniforme, de gorra, sin nombre
Chapita is a poor man.Chapita es un pobre hombre.

Officer on duty, unforgiving and ruthlessOficial de turno, sin perdón y despiadado
I feel sorry for you.Siento lastima por vos.
In life, maybe you'll never give a single kissEn la vida tal vez nunca des un solo beso
That's returned for pleasure.Que devuelvan por placer.

Chapita it's not your fault for being like thatChapita no es tu culpa por serlo
Without the knife, the monkey is goodSin la navaja el monito es bueno
I don't know when night comes¿No sé cuando llega la noche
How are you going to sleep awake?Cómo vas a hacer para dormir despierto?
