La Doble Cero

The Double Zero

La Doble Cero

Cut your hair, boyCortate el pelo, muchacho
Or do you thinkO es que acaso te pensás
That in this country you canQue en este país se puede
Be different from the othersSer distinto a los demás

What's with the long hair¿Qué es eso del pelo largo
The t-shirt and the blue jeans?La polera y el blue jeans?
What's with going to DiTella¿Qué es eso de ir al DiTella
To the party and the happening?Al sarao y al happening?

The Double ZeroLa Doble Cero
Grinds its teethRechina los dientes
Where is the brave one¿Dónde está el valiente
Who will face it?Que la enfrentará?

With very short hairCon el pelo bien cortito
And factory-made clothesY el pilchao' de confección
Don't be afraid to go to jailNo tengas miedo de ir preso
If stealing is your vocationSi el robo es tu vocación

Learn from those menAprende de aquellos hombres
Inside out and right side upDel revés y del derecho
Who combed their hairQue al pelo se lo peinaban
With a middle part on their chestCon raya al medio en el pecho

That, if they were taken to jailQue, si presos los llevaban
It was for being real menEra por ser bien varones
Knife-wielders or tough guysCuchilleros o malevos
But never faggotsPero nunca maricones

The Double ZeroLa Doble Cero
Grinds its teethRechina los dientes
Where is the brave one¿Dónde está el valiente
Who will face it?Que la enfrentará?

With very short hairCon el pelo bien cortito
As a thief you have a licenseDe ladrón tenés licencia
Because it doesn't matter to be honestPues no importa ser honrado
If you don't keep up appearancesSi no guardar la apariencia

Don't come to me with the storyNo me vengas con la historia
Of the grandpa portraitDel retrato de abuelito
With the beard and sideburnsCon la barba y las patillas
The mane and the little tuftLa melena y el jopito

Cut it like the AmericansCórtate a la americana
Finish with your insolenceTerminá con tu insolencia
Don't you know that short hair¿No sabes que el pelo corto
Guarantees decency, huh?Garantiza la decencia, eh?

The Double ZeroLa Doble Cero
Grinds its teethRechina los dientes
Where is the brave one¿Dónde está el valiente
Who will face it?Que la enfrentará?

Cut your hair, boyCortate el pelo, muchacho
Or do you thinkO es que acaso te pensás
That in this country you canQue en este país se puede
