Lengua Filosa

Sharp Tongue

Lengua Filosa

Seems like they're sayingParece que están diciendo
Throughout the neighborhoodPor toda la vecindad
That I have a sharp tongueQue tengo lengua filosa
Just like a rattlesnakeLo mismo que yarará

Sharp is my hearingFiloso tengo el oído
And I see in the darkY veo en la oscuridad
And it just so happensY pasa que pasa mucho
In a town that's so familiarEn un pueblo que es tan familiar

To see visionsPa’ ver visiones
There are plenty of devout womenBeatas hay a montones
I, on the other hand, sayYo en cambio digo
What I saw behind the doorLo que vi tras el postigo

Thing that I took for certainCosa que di por cierta
If it was a lie, may I drop deadSi era mentira que me caiga muerta
And so much sincerityY tanta sinceridad
Who will thank me for itQuién me la agradecerá
I always tell the truthDigo siempre la verdad
And that's how it goesY así me va

Seems like they're sayingParece que están diciendo
That I live in idlenessQue vivo en la ociosidad
Idle is the one who sees but doesn't lookOcioso es quien ve y no mira
Who hears without listeningQuien oye sin escuchar

I'm super busyEstoy requete ocupada
With clothes to washCon ropa para lavar
Because there's a lot of dirty laundryQue hay mucho trapito sucio
In a town that's so familiarEn un pueblo que es tan familiar

For the scissorsPa’ la tijera
There's a tailor and a hairdresserHay sastre y hay peluquera
I am honestYo soy honrada
I don't cut or add anythingNo corto ni agrego nada

Thing that I took for certainCosa que di por cierta
If it was a lie, may I drop deadSi era mentira que me caiga muerta
And so much sincerityY tanta sinceridad
Who will thank me for itQuién me la agradecerá
I always tell the truthDigo siempre la verdad
And that's how it goesY así me va
