Lo Feo

The Ugly

Lo Feo

In an old basinEn una palangana vieja
I planted violets for yousembré violetas para ti
and being near the rivery estando cerca del río
in an empty snail shellen un caracol vacío
I kept a star for you.guardé un lucero para ti.

In a broken bottleEn una botella rota
I kept a firefly for youguardé un cocuyo para ti
and on a dull fencey en una cerca sin brillo
the coral snake was entwinedse enredaba el coralillo
blooming for you.floreciendo para ti.

Little cockroach wingAlita de cucaracha
carried to the anthillllevada hasta el hormiguero
that's how I want in my deathasí quiero que en mi muerte
to be taken to the cemetery.me lleven al cementerio.

Dump, dumpBasurero, basurero
that no one wants to look atque nadie quiere mirar
but if the moon comes outpero si sale la luna
your cans will shine.tus latas van a brillar.

To things that are uglyA las cosas que son feas
put a little loveponles un poco de amor
and you'll see that sadnessy verás que la tristeza
will change color.va cambiando de color.
