Manfreddi (2003)
Manfreddi tenía un hijo
retardado mental.
Era viudo y mantenía
a su suegra y su mamá:
Y cuando llegaba la hora de almorzar
salía de trabajar
cuando se encontaba meta cocinar
las viejas solían gritar:
"Danos de comer"
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
"Que ya son la una"
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
"Venime a cambiar"
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
"No ves que me hice encima"
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
Manfreddi vivía ahorrando
para poder vivir.
Se pudo comprar la casa
un mes antes de morir.
Cuando agonizaba en el hospital
el cura le vino a rezar
y por los pasillos bailan enfermeras
al ritmo del sermón final.
Ten piedad señor
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
De este pobre idiota
Ay, ay ,ay, ay
He...derramá he...tu amore.
Ay, ay ,ay, ay
Sobre mi siervo,este tarado.
Ay, ay ,ay, ay
El dios de los infelices
no lo dejó entrar
pues ya tenía albergado
a más de medio Uruguay.
Y después de un largo y duro deambular
al infierno fue a parar,
luego de una espera frente al gran portal,
abrieron y pudo pasar.
Apenas entró
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
Ya se lo clavaron.
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
Pero le gustó.
Ay, ay ,ay, ay.
Así que lo echaron.
Manfreddi (2003)
Manfredi had a son
who was mentally slow.
He was a widower and took care
of his mother-in-law and his mom:
And when it was lunchtime
he'd leave work
when he found time to cook
the old ladies would yell:
"Feed us already"
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
"It's already one o'clock"
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
"Come change me"
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
"Don't you see I messed myself?"
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Manfredi lived saving up
so he could get by.
He managed to buy a house
a month before he died.
When he was dying in the hospital
the priest came to pray
and in the hallways, nurses danced
to the rhythm of the final sermon.
Have mercy, Lord
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
On this poor idiot
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
He...pour out he...your love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
On my servant, this fool.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
The god of the unfortunate
wouldn't let him in
since he already had
more than half of Uruguay.
And after a long, hard wander
he ended up in hell,
after waiting in front of the big gate,
it opened and he could pass.
As soon as he entered
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
They already nailed him.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
But he liked it.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
So they kicked him out.
