The Piper's Tune

La melodía del flautista

The Piper's Tune

Y así has hecho un desagradable lío,And so you've made a nasty mess;
has causado gran angustia a tu madre.you have caused your mother great distress
Están destinados a equilibrar la balanza,They're bound to even up the score
no recibirás más dulces.you'll get no sweeties anymore
Hablarán con tus amigos,They'll give your friends a talking to
los persuadirán para que no jueguen contigo.persuade them not to play with you.
Les contarán sobre tu terrible crimen,They'll tell them 'bout your awful crime
no habrá una segunda oportunidad esta vez.there'll be no second chance this time

Parece que van por tu piel,It seems they're out to take your skin
te cortarán y te arrojarán.They'll cut you up and throw you in
Dicen que los llevaste por el mal camino,They say you've led them up the path
y ahora les toca reírse a ellos.and now they'll take their turn to laugh
Dicen que tendieron una trampa cuidadosa,They say they laid a careful trap
y ahora has caído en su regazo.and now you've fallen in their lap.
Están dispuestos a hacer un sacrificio,They're out to make a sacrifice
y tú eres quien pagará el precio.and you're the one to pay the price.

No sirve de nada llamar a la puerta,It's no use knocking on the door
nadie puede ayudarte más.There's none can help you anymore
Has apostado y perdiste tu oportunidad,You've gambled and your chance was lost
y ahora tendrás que pagar el costo.and now you'll have to pay the cost
No seguiste el consejo de tu mamá,You wouldn't take your mum's advice
y ahora tendrás que pagar el precio.and now you'll have to pay the price
Dicen que el flautista marca la melodía,They say the piper calls the tune
pronto escucharás su música.You'll hear his music very soon.
