La Corbata Colombiana

The Colombian Tie

La Corbata Colombiana

My pajamas are made of pineDe pino es mi pijama
My shoes are made of cementDe cemento mis zapatos
I smile and swallow waterSonrío y trago agua
At the bottom of this lake.En el fondo de este lago.

They ripped off my watchMe arrancaron el peluco
They shoved it in my mouthMe lo metieron en la boca
They gave me a lotMe dieron mucho
Of torment.Tormento.

And that eventually showsY eso al final se nota
This is the dark roomEsto es el cuarto oscuro
You go in and you don't come out.Se entra y no se sale.

The colt doesn't rideEl potro no cabalga
And the maiden is not kind.Y la doncella no es amable.
This wire of shockEste cable de calambre
In unmentionable placesEn los sitios innombrables
Sorry if it's not a botherPerdón si no es molestia
Could I leave now?¿ Podría ya largarme?

Hey buddy, I don't like anythingOye pana, no me gusta nada
Hey buddy, the Colombian tieOye pana, la corbata colombiana
Hey buddy, I don't like anythingOye pana, no me gusta nada
The Colombian tieLa corbata colombiana
No sir.No señor.

Water through a funnelAgua por un embudo
And the drop on the headY la gota en la cabeza
The bathtub is already fullLa bañera ya está llena
And the towel is not dry.Y la toalla no está seca.

If they wanted to scare meSi querían darme un susto
If they wanted to frighten meSi querían asustarme
With killing me or insulting meCon matarme o insultarme
I had enough already.Ya tenía yo bastante.
