The World Is Missing a Screw

Al Mundo Le Falta Un Tornillo

The whole world is in the dumps, sad and bitter without fun,Todo el mundo esta en la estufa, triste amargao y sin garufa,
Neurotic and cut off, the tough guys are gone,Neurastenico y cortao, se acabaron los robustos,
Even I, who used to be a delight, have lost four kilos.Si hasta yo que daba gusto cuatro kilos he bajao.

Today money is on the prowl and the pot is so highHoy la guita anda de asalto y el puchero est tan alto
that you need a trampoline, there will be crisis, anger, and hungerque hay que usar un trampolin, si habra crisis, bronca y hambre
That whoever buys ten slices of cold cuts now eats even the string.Que el que compra diez de fiambre hoy se morfa hasta el pioln.

Today we live by force and sleep in a rush,Hoy se vive de prepo y se duerme apurao,
And even Christ has been shaved.Y la chiva hasta a Cristo se la han afeitao.
Today even the most loyal friend is taken to pawn,Hoy se lleva a empear al amigo mas fiel,
No one invites to eat, everyone on the rails.Nadie invita a morfar, todo el mundo en el riel.

The world is missing a screw, let a mechanic come,Al mundo le falta un tornillo, que venga un mecanico,
to see if he can fix it.pa ver si lo puede arreglar.
What's happening? Good grief, the shelf fell downQue sucede? Mama mia, se cay la estanteria
Or St. Peter opened the gate, creation is in chaos.O San Pedro abri el portn, la creacin anda a las pias.

And out of sheer stubbornness, they even polish the mattress.Y de pura rebatia apoliya hasta el colchn.
Today the thief is decent and by force has become a person,El ladrn hoy es decente y a la fuerza se ha echo gente,
He no longer has to steal.Ya no tiene que robar.

And the honest one has turned into a thief because in his saving feverY el honrao se ha vuelto chorro porque en su fiebre de ahorro
he is eager to keep.l se afana por guardar.
The world is missing a screw, let a mechanic come,Al mundo le falta un tornillo, que venga un mecanico,
to see if he can fix it.pa ver si lo puede arreglar.
