Las Viejas Del Cuarteto

The Old Women of the Quartet

Las Viejas Del Cuarteto

Mounted on their sewing machines they can be seen arrivingMontadas en sus máquinas de coser se ven llegar
Five old women on the cruel road to the cityCinco viejas por el cruel camino hacia la ciudad

And behind his rideY detrás de su cabalgar
A dust is seen risingUn polvo se ve levantar
Debris of their livesEscombros de sus vidas
Destroyed by fightingDestrozadas por luchar

Losing respect, the old women of the quartetPerdiendo el respeto, las viejas del cuarteto
They forget everything, always playing tagSe olvidan de todo, siempre jugando al teto
And those who are not cut, don't give a damnY al que no es de tajo, le importan tres carajos

And the local people react to his appearanceY la gente del lugar, reacciona ante su aparición
There are those who criticize, there are those who acclaimHay quien critica, hay quien aclama
There are those who stay on their balconyHay quien se queda en su balcón

And the stupid ones come closer, so they can mockY los estúpidos se acercan, para así poder mofarse
And the idiots beg to take pictures with themY los imbéciles imploran con ellas fotografiarse

Losing respect, the old women of the quartetPerdiendo el respeto, las viejas del cuarteto
They forget everything, always playing tagSe olvidan de todo, siempre jugando al teto
And those who are not cut, don't give a damnY al que no es de tajo, le importan tres carajos

Mounted on their sewing machines they see themselves leaveMontadas en sus máquinas de coser se ven partir
Five old women for the path never to repeatCinco viejas para el sendero nunca repetir

And their songs and poems will have different destiniesY sus canciones y poemas tendrán diverso destino
Some will remind you that there are no cucumbers in autumnAlgunas te harán recordar que en otoño no hay pepinos

Losing respect, the old women of the quartetPerdiendo el respeto, las viejas del cuarteto
They forget everything, always playing tagSe olvidan de todo, siempre jugando al teto
And those who are not cut, don't give a damnY al que no es de tajo, le importan tres carajos

Losing respect, the old women of the quartetPerdiendo el respeto, las viejas del cuarteto
They forget everything, always playing tagSe olvidan de todo, siempre jugando al teto
And those who are not cut, don't give a damnY al que no es de tajo, le importan tres carajos
