Hay Que Comer

The light is out, the money is goneLa luz esta vencida, la plata se acabó
They cut off our water and the rice ran outNos cortaron el agua y el arroz se termino

To think that until recently we weren't so badPensar que hasta hace poco tiempo no estábamos tan mal
On weekends we ate at restaurantsLos fines de semana comíamos en restaurant

And my children always went to private schoolY mis chicos siempre fueron a colegio privado
Now at the school gate they sell stolen peanutsAhora en la puerta del colegio venden maní robado

And to buy alcohol that seals our sorrowsY para comprar alcohol que nuestras penas selle
We broke the piggy bank that the kings left themLes rompimos la chanchita que les dejaron los reyes

My car is rotting in the garageMi auto se pudre en el garage
Because the gasoline doesn't give me anymorePorque la nafta ya no me da

I'm not a materialist, but what can we do?No soy materialista pero, ¿qué le vamo' a hacer?
If we had money before and now it's goneSi antes teníamos guita y ahora se nos fue

And you have to eat, yeah, yeah yeah!¡Y hay que comer, yeah, yeah yeah!
We have to eat, wuh wuh!¡Hay que comer, wuh wuh!

I killed my mother yesterday with an iron barA mi madre internada la maté ayer con un fierro
Because the asylum was more expensive than the burialPorque me salía más caro el asilo que el entierro

And the winter is so harsh that we burn in the stoveY el invierno está tan crudo que quemamos en la fogón
The girl's Barbies and the boy's NintendoLas Barbies de la nena y el Nintendo del varón

And the poodle Cuqui ended upY el caniche Cuqui, fue a parar
To a stew that I made spectacularlyA un guiso que hice espectacular

I'm not a materialist, but what can we do?No soy materialista pero, ¿qué le vamo' a hacer?
If we had money before and now it's goneSi antes teníamos guita y ahora se nos fue

And you have to eat, yeah, yeah yeah!¡Y hay que comer, yeah, yeah yeah!
We have to eat, wuh wuh!¡Hay que comer, wuh wuh!
We have to eat, yeah, yeah yeah!¡Hay que comer, yeah, yeah yeah!

And speaking of the male, we sold him to a rajaY hablando del varón, se lo vendimos a un raja
And the girl in the middle is shirando on boulevardY la nena del medio esta shirando en bulevar

The largest one is maintained by an old retired womanAl mas grande lo mantiene una vieja jubilada
If he takes good care of her, he'll send it to me with empanadasQue si la atiende bien me lo manda con empanadas

My wife suddenly developed appendicitisA mi mujer de golpe apendicitis le surgió
And we didn't have money to pay a doctorY no teníamos plata para pagarle a un doctor

I operated on her myself with the nail clipper and cottonLa opere yo mismo con el corta uñas y algodón
And the appendix was big and ended up in the stew!Y el apéndice era grande y en el guiso termino!

I'm not a materialist, but what can we do?No soy materialista, pero ¿qué le vamo' a hacer?
