Que Se Te Escapa El Negro

The Black Man Slips Away from You

Que Se Te Escapa El Negro

The black man slips away from you, he slips awayQue se te escapa el negro que se te escapa
Like sweat running, hunting sweatcomo sudas corriendo sudor de caza
He sells blondes in the subway, oh what a big mistakevende rubio en el metro, oh que gran falta
Tobacco is poison, a drug that killsel tabaco es veneno, droga que mata
He sells blondes in the subway, oh what a jokeVende rubio en el metro, olé que guasa
Hit that dog with a stick, hit him in the facedale porra a ese perro, dale en la cara
And the arm I twist, how it slipsy el brazo que retuerzo como resbala
It seems like steel and jellyme parece de acero y de mermelada

But what do I thinkPero que pienso
You shut up and take ittu pega y calla
Don't look at the fire in his eyesno mires el fuego de su mirada
He could be your grandsonPodría ser tu nieto
But he's your rat with whompero es tu rata con la que
you play the game theyhaces el juego que a ti
send youte mandan

What a laugh and what a joke, never failsQue risa y que choteo nunca se falla
You leave him several metersle dejas varios metros
for the little black man to go awaypara que se vaya el negrito
Jumping, jumpingextranjero salta que salta
towards your partner, whohacia tu compañero, que
waits above with his stickarriba aguarda con su porra
and his anger, to give a beatingy su cabreo, para dar caña

But what do I thinkPero que pienso
You shut up and take ittu pega y calla
Don't look at the fire in his eyesno mires el fuego de su mirada
He could be your grandsonPodría ser tu nieto
But he's your rat with whompero es tu rata con la que
you play the game theyhaces el juego que a ti
send youte mandan
