Old Women's Stuff

Kosas de Viejas

Summer has already arrivedHa llegado ya el verano
We'll see each other in the villageNos veremos en el pueblo
The old women will already haveLas viejas ya tendrán
What to talk aboutDe ké hablar.
Look at those from the neighborhoodViste a esos del txaleko
The ones with long hairLos ke llevan largo el pelo
And dressed all in blackY visten todo negro
Mother, there they go!¡madre, ahí va!

I've been told they've seen themMe han ditxo ke los han visto
They're drunks, drug addictsSon borratxos, drogadiktos,
Knife-wielders from the big cityNavajeros de la gran ziudad.
Some crazy anarchistsUnos lokos anarkistas,
That's clear at first sightEso se ve a primera vista,
Just listen to their answersNo hay mas ke eskutxarlos kontestar.

And those young girls so smallY esas txikas tan pekeñas,
They've joined them with themSe han juntado ellos kon ellas,
Oh my goodness, what a mess!¡madre mía, ke barbaridad!
They go down to the cliffs togetherBajan juntos a las peñas
God knows what they'll do with themSabe dios ke harán kon ellas
They're only 17 years oldSólo tienen 17 años de edad.

All day they drink beerTodo el día sakan zerveza
And it goes to their headsY se les sube a la kabeza
And they hear infernal musicY oyen una músika infernal.
They're demonized beingsSon seres endemoniados
Captivated by the devilKautivados por el diablo
They're all children of SatanSon todos hijos de satanás.
But listen to me, ladyPero, eskútxeme señora
I couldn't care lessA mí me sudan las narizes
About the stories you could inventLos kuentos ke usted pueda inventar.

Why would I want to do drugsPara ké kiero drogarme,
When listening to their storiesSi eskutxando sus historias
I have enough to hallucinate for a monthTengo para un mes aluzinar.
But don't worryPero no se preokupen,
We're not going to changeKe no vamos a kambiar
We'll still give them something to talk aboutTodavia les daremos de ké hablar.

If we can't think of anythingSi no se nos okurre nada
Never lose moraleNunka pierdan la moral
There's always time to singKe siempre keda tiempo de kantar.
