The Chagas Bug

La Chinche de Chagas

My dear friend, I want us to talkCompañero corazón, quiero que hablemos
About this new little problem we haveDe este problemita nuevo que tenemos
Today, without being able to avoid it, I heard your complaintsHoy, sin poderlo evitar, oí tus quejas
And you can stop if you get stupidY tú te puedes parar si te apendejas

Oh, oh, ohAy, ay, ay

From what I can see, the bedbug bitPor lo que puedo observar, picó la chinche
But you're going to hold on, don't cry, damn itPero te vas a aguantar, no llores, pinche
It was a bug, a Chagas bugEra una chinche del mal, chinche de Chagas
And to heal I will explain to you how to do itY para sanar te explico cómo le hagas

Oh, oh, ohAy, ay, ay

First, sweetheart, oh, sweetheart, quicken your pacePrimerito, corazón, ay, corazón, aprieta el paso
And don't forget that life is about triumph and failureY no olvides que la vida es de triunfo y de fracaso

My dear friend, stay calm insideCompañero corazón, tranquilo adentro
The remedy is out here, I'll find itQue aquí afuera está el remedio, yo lo encuentro
As they say in Guerrero: Hang in there, pigComo dicen en Guerrero: Aguanta, cocho
As long as you are not under eighteenNomás que no tenga menos de dieciocho

Oh, oh, ohAy, ay, ay

And before causing scandalY antes de escandalizar
Oh, honey, check this accountAy, corazón, checa esta cuenta
Eighteen plus three: Twenty-oneDieciocho más tres: Veintiuno
I scratch at sixtyYo le rasco a los sesenta
There are old people of thirty-oneHay viejos de treinta y uno
But there are young people of eightyPero hay jóvenes de ochenta

And forgive me for being so presumptuousY perdóname que sea tan presumido
Don't forget that I am God's favoriteNo olvides que soy de Dios un consentido

They say it in Michoacán, calm down, okayLo dicen en Michoacán, tranquilo, vale
With time and a little hook it does come outCon el tiempo y un ganchito sí se sale
You'll see that a little help will soon come to youVerás que pronto te llega una ayudita
Just be single, even if you're oldNomás que sea soltera, aunque viejita

Oh, oh, ohAy, ay, ay

Oh, unloved heartAy, corazón mal amado
You are bitten by the bedbugEstás picado por la chinche
And a battered heartY un corazón maltratado
It's normal that it swellsNormalito es que se hinche

Oh, unloved heartAy, corazón mal amado
You are bitten by the bedbugEstás picado por la chinche
You've gotten up from worseDe peores te has levantado
Honey, don't cry, damn itCorazón, no llores, pinche
