El Tango Vaselina

The Vaseline Tango

El Tango Vaselina

They stole the border from usNos robaron la frontera
The culture, the pesetaLa cultura la peseta
They shoved it all inNos la metieron entera
With the panties and shirtCon la braga y camiseta

And they kept cuttingY siguieron recortando
To the bottom of the pantsHasta el fondo del pantalon
And with that, feedingY con eso alimentando
The pampered bankerAl banquero regalon

You have to tighten your waistHay que cerrar la cintura
It's the never-ending phraseEs la frase interminable
Excess of heatExceso de calentura
For a friendly speechPara un discurso amigable

To rescue the bankPara rescatar el banco
Of the boss's friendDel amigo del patron
And when they couldn't find moreY cuando no encontraron mas
They cut my pensionMe recortaron la pension

Pass the Vaseline, brotherPasa la vaselina hermano
This is hurting meQue esto me esta haciendo daño
They legalized injusticeLegalizaron la injusticia
Shamelessly and deceitfullySin verguenza y con engaño

Collecting the little moneyRecojiendo la platita
To save the bunglersPa salvar los chapuceros
Who went partyingQue se fueron de parranda
With the cut from my salaryCon el recorte de mi sueldo

They protected the thievesProtejieron los ladrones
They passed us the newsNos pasaron la noticia
The crooks were set freeEn libertad los compadrones
And greed continuesY a seguir con la codicia

There's no more apple leftYa no queda mas manzana
The worms ate itSe la comieron los gusanos
The corrupt courtiersSe la mascaron con ganas
Chewed on it eagerlyLos corruptos cortesanos

Just to mess with usQue pa darnos por saco
They always find a trickSiempre encuentran un ardid
Like the opaque cardsComo las tarjetas opacas
From the Madrid bankDe la caja de madrid

And we keep discoveringY seguimos descubriendo
Every day another nonsenseCada dia otra chorrada
Something is already rottingAlgo ya se esta pudriendo
In the golden eliteEn la élite dorada

Pass the Vaseline, brotherPasa la vaselina hermano
This is hurting meQue esto me esta haciendo daño
They legalized injusticeLegalizaron la injusticia
Shamelessly and deceitfullySin verguenza y con engaño

Collecting the little moneyRecojiendo la platita
To save the bunglersPa salvar los chapuceros
Who went partyingQue se fueron de parranda
With the cut from my salaryCon el recorte de mi sueldo

The Vaseline tangoEl tango la vaselina
This tango is for youEste tango es para ti
I'm telling you in advanceTe lo digo de antemano
I lived through all of thisTodo esto lo vivi

And if you have a doubtY si tienes una duda
Don't let your guard downNo te descuides la espalda
They have no shameQue no tienen disimulo
To screw you over... without failPara darte por el...sin falta
