The Dead Man

El Muerto

A tale of witchesCuento de brujos
Gossip about burialsChisme de entierros
The neighbors sayLos vecinos dicen
Here comes the dead manAhí viene el muerto

He was from the neighborhoodEra del barrio
A grave without flowersTumba sin flores
A poor soulUn pobre diablo
With a golden toothCon diente de oro

He only shows up in La PaternalAparece solo por La Paternal
With his slow walk, you can't tell what he wantsCon su paso lento, no se sabe qué reclama
Florian's wordsLas palabras de Florian
Were so pure they made him floatFueron tan puras que lo hicieron levitar

The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!
The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!
The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!

Dead in life in La PaternalMuerto en vida por La Paternal
The 48, an empty graveEl 48, tumba vacía
With a criminal desireCon deseo criminal
Floating, he turned to fire and vanishedLevitando se hizo fuego y se esfumó

Madam, madam, SatanMadam, madam, Satán

Florian's wordsLas palabras de Florián
Were so pure they made him floatFueron tan puras que lo hicieron levitar

The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!
The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!
The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!

I grew up and died here (the neighborhood wasn't so violent before)Acá crecí y morí (antes el barrio no era tan violento)
The dead man trusted his people and in the skullEl muerto confiaba en su gente y en calavera

They're holding a vigil, a prayerEstán velando una oracián
The skull will live onCalavera vivirá
Dead in life, reincarnationMuerto en vida, reencarnación
With Mandinga, the vice of making dealsCon Mandinga el vicio de pactar

The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!
The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!
The dead man, oh-eh!¡El muerto, oh-eo!
