El Gato Viudo

The Widowed Cat

El Gato Viudo

When the moon rises bigCuando la luna se pone regrandota
Like a big ball and lights up the alleyComo una pelotota y alumbra el callejón
You hear the meow of a sad widowed catSe oye el maullido de un triste gato viudo
And its furry back bristles with horrorY su lomo peludo se eriza con horror

But there's always someone who throws a shoePero no falta quien saque un zapatazo
That turns into a gunshot to shut up the whinerQue salga hecho balazo a quitarle lo chillón
And on the mystical roof's ridgeY en el molero del místico tejado
The cat is angry singing this songEl gato está enojado cantando esta canción

To cure the lovesicknessPara curar el mal de amores
The doctors said there was no salvationDijeron los doctores que no había salvación
Now they call me a widowed catAhora me dicen gato viudo
Because a female cat was able to shut me upPorque una gata pudo quitarme lo chillón

Before, I used to get money from the errandsAntes sacaba del mandado
I had it for my ice cream, my movies, and my soccerMe daba pa' mi helado, mi cine y mi fútbol
Now with what has happened to meAhora con lo que me ha pasado
I'm colder than a Jaibol iceMe tiene más enfriado que un hielo de Jaibol

To cure the lovesicknessPara curar el mal de amores
The doctors said there was no salvationDijeron los doctores que no había salvación
Now they call me a widowed catAhora me dicen gato viudo
Because a female cat was able to shut me upPorque una gata pudo quitarme lo chillón

Before, I used to get money from the errandsAntes sacaba del mandado
I had it for my ice cream, my movies, and my soccerMe daba pa' mi helado, mi cine y mi fútbol
Now with what has happened to meAhora con lo que me ha pasado
I'm colder than a Jaibol iceMe tiene más enfriado que un hielo de Jaibol
