Todo Por La Napia
Érase un hombre a una nariz pegado
Y pegado a la nariz un talego enrollado
Eran unas fosas nasales gigantescas
Como túnel grande sobre carretera
Era el trabajo de aspirador
Al que aspiraba al que hizo oposición
Era era era era que se era
Era su nariz su pecado y su condena
Todo por la napia
Snif snif todo por la nariz
Era medellín su tierra prometida
Era el polvo blanco su maná y su alegría
No era un camello sino una caravana
La que le pasaba la materia colombiana
Era que estudiaba geografía americana
Era que amaba a toni montana
Y era el pegamento y las colas industriales
Sus otras pasiones sus efectos personales
Todo por la napia
Snif snif todo por la nariz
Era que oía a su madre que decía
Perico, no te excites y perico se reía
Era el placer para su pituitaria
Todo lo que entraba fuera línea o fuera raya
Era que despacio y poco a poco su tabique
Se había desgastado se había ido a pique
Y era que escuchaba el consejo del vecino
Haz como yo y ponte uno de platino
Todo por la napia
Snif snif todo por la nariz
All For The Nose
There was a man attached to a nose
And attached to the nose, a rolled-up bag
They were gigantic nostrils
Like a big tunnel over the road
It was the vacuum cleaner's job
To the one who aspired to the one who took the exam
It was it was it was it was
It was his nose, his sin, and his condemnation
All for the nose
Sniff sniff all for the nose
Medellin was his promised land
White powder was his manna and joy
He wasn't a camel but a caravan
Passing him the Colombian matter
He was studying American geography
He loved Tony Montana
And it was the glue and industrial adhesives
His other passions, his personal effects
All for the nose
Sniff sniff all for the nose
He heard his mother say
Perico, don't get excited, and Perico laughed
It was pleasure for his pituitary gland
Everything that entered, whether a line or a stripe
It was that slowly and gradually his septum
Had worn down, had gone downhill
And he listened to the neighbor's advice
Do as I do and get a platinum one
All for the nose
Sniff sniff all for the nose
