Todo Por La Napia

All For The Nose

Todo Por La Napia

There was a man attached to a noseÉrase un hombre a una nariz pegado
And attached to the nose, a rolled-up bagY pegado a la nariz un talego enrollado
They were gigantic nostrilsEran unas fosas nasales gigantescas
Like a big tunnel over the roadComo túnel grande sobre carretera
It was the vacuum cleaner's jobEra el trabajo de aspirador
To the one who aspired to the one who took the examAl que aspiraba al que hizo oposición
It was it was it was it wasEra era era era que se era
It was his nose, his sin, and his condemnationEra su nariz su pecado y su condena

All for the noseTodo por la napia
Sniff sniff all for the noseSnif snif todo por la nariz

Medellin was his promised landEra medellín su tierra prometida
White powder was his manna and joyEra el polvo blanco su maná y su alegría
He wasn't a camel but a caravanNo era un camello sino una caravana
Passing him the Colombian matterLa que le pasaba la materia colombiana
He was studying American geographyEra que estudiaba geografía americana
He loved Tony MontanaEra que amaba a toni montana
And it was the glue and industrial adhesivesY era el pegamento y las colas industriales
His other passions, his personal effectsSus otras pasiones sus efectos personales

All for the noseTodo por la napia
Sniff sniff all for the noseSnif snif todo por la nariz

He heard his mother sayEra que oía a su madre que decía
Perico, don't get excited, and Perico laughedPerico, no te excites y perico se reía
It was pleasure for his pituitary glandEra el placer para su pituitaria
Everything that entered, whether a line or a stripeTodo lo que entraba fuera línea o fuera raya
It was that slowly and gradually his septumEra que despacio y poco a poco su tabique
Had worn down, had gone downhillSe había desgastado se había ido a pique
And he listened to the neighbor's adviceY era que escuchaba el consejo del vecino
Do as I do and get a platinum oneHaz como yo y ponte uno de platino

All for the noseTodo por la napia
Sniff sniff all for the noseSnif snif todo por la nariz
