La Metamorfosis

The Metamorphosis

La Metamorfosis

One day, Gregor SamsaCierto día, Gregorio Samsa
Wakes up with theSe despierta con el aspecto
Disgusting appearance of a large insectAsqueroso de un gran insecto
Lying on his backAcostado de boca arriba
He wants to turn over but can'tQuiere darse vuelta y no puede
What the hell is happening?¿Qué carajo es lo que sucede?

He's late for workSe hace tarde para el trabajo
His mother calls at the doorA la puerta su madre llama
And he's stuck in bedY él está clavado en la cama
He can't find his armsNo consigue encontrar sus brazos
How strange, where are they hidingQué curioso, dónde se esconden
And those legs, not respondingY esas patas, que no responden

The rest of the family comesViene el resto de la familia
All together, in a bad moodTodos juntos, de mal talante
They demand he gets upLe reclaman que se levante
Luckily he closed the doorMenos mal que él cerró la puerta
At night, before going to bedEn la noche, antes de acostarse
For a while he can hidePor un rato podrá ocultarse

But he hears the boss's voicePero oye la voz del jefe
Who came to fetch him at homeQue lo vino a buscar a casa
To see what's wrong with himPara ver qué es lo que le pasa
Come on, come on, Gregor SamsaVamos, vamos, Gregorio Samsa
Don't come up with weird thingsNo me venga con cosas raras
Get out quickly and face itSalga rápido y dé la cara

He replies he's in troubleEl contesta que está en problemas
But no one understands a thingPero nadie le entiende un pito
His words sound like screamsSus palabras parecen gritos
He no longer has vocal cordsYa no tiene cuerdas vocales
From his giant mandiblesDe sus mandíbulas gigantes
Disgusting liquids flowManan líquidos repugnantes

Finally, with great effortFinalmente, con gran esfuerzo
He gets up and his mouth managesSe levanta y su boca acierta
To turn the key in the doorA girar la llave en la puerta
Before everyone sees himAntes de que todos lo vean
He thinks: If this is a crazy dreamPiensa: Si esto es un sueño loco
I'll wake up soonMe despierto dentro de poco

And if, instead, it's true and everyoneY si, en cambio, es verdad y a todos
Gets scared looking at meAl mirarme les viene un chucho
It's not my fault, I'm sorryNo es mi culpa, lo siento mucho
They'll have to take the troubleSe tendrán que tomar la pena
To take care of these pair of antennasDe cuidar este par de antenas
And stop buying insecticideY dejar de comprar Baygón
