There must be something todayDebe de haber algo hoy
Postman, give it to meBo cartero dámelo
I'm waiting for a letter from my lovely girlfriendEspero carta de mi linda novia
Who left for Cologne a year agoQue se fue hace un año a Colonia

She promised to writeElla prometió escribir
And send money to surviveY mandar guita para sobrevivir
And here you see me without being able to do anythingY aquí me ves sin poder hacer nono
Alone and acting like a monkeySolito y haciéndome la del mono

I know he still loves meYo sé que me quiere aún
And she doesn't go out with any boyY que no sale con muchacho ningún
But there is one doubt that gnaws at mePero una duda hay que me carcome
If you don't write to me, you can't find a penSi no me escribe pues no encuentra birome

His tongue perhaps dried upSu lengua se secó quizás
And no stampY ningún sello
He could hitPudo pegar
But in Cologne that is not a problemPero en Colonia eso no es traba
There are always porteños who will lend you their droolSiempre hay porteños que te presten la baba

Maybe he's making himself give inQuizás se esté haciendo dar
By a donkey or other animalPor un burro u otro animal
A strong kick in the headUna patada fuerte en la cabeza
And thus recover from an attack of amnesiaY así recuperarse de un ataque de amnesia

Postman, I want to ask youCartero yo te quiero pedir
From man to man and without lyingDe hombre a hombre y sin mentir
What if one day there is a strike at the Post Office?Que si algún día hay un paro en Correos
I throw you some mangoes and you play the sheepTe tiro unos mangos y vos hacés de carnero
