Acompáñeme, Civil
Bajaba la Tiradentes
en mi carro rumbo al mar
de pronto un faro intermitente
me hizo señas de parar
Mi licencia de conducir
me pidió con ojo febril
qué se le va a hacer...
Tomó en sus manos mil papeles
burocracia elemental
total, que para nada sirve
mi Registro Electoral
Su licencia de conducir, me dijo
ha vencido en el mes de Abril
Acompáñeme, civil
al destacamento
o resuelva desde aquí
cómpreme el silencio
y olvídese de mí
Accompany me, Civil
I was driving down Tiradentes
in my car towards the sea
suddenly an intermittent lighthouse
signaled me to stop
My driver's license
he asked for with feverish eyes
what can you do...
He took in his hands a thousand papers
elementary bureaucracy
total, that serves for nothing
my Electoral Registry
Your driver's license, he said to me
has expired in the month of April
Accompany me, civilian
to the police station
or solve it from here
buy my silence
and forget about me
