The Cat Lopez

El Gato López

He was born on the street, he couldn't chooseÉl nació en la calle, no pudo elegir
He had to live among rubble and garbageEntre escombros y basuras él tuvo que vivir
The streets made him strong; that's where he rebelledLa calle le hizo fuerte, allí se rebeló
And the thing is, man, there's no moneyY es que, tío, no hay dinero

He's a working cat!¡Es un gato obrero!

His mother was a streetwalker, his father was a Siamese twinSu madre callejera, su padre siamés
He has twenty siblings in Carabanchel!Tiene veinte hermanos en ¡Carabanchel!
Look in the trash for something to eatBusca en la basura algo que comer
And the thing is, man, there's no moneyY es que, tío, no hay dinero

He's a working cat!¡Es un gato obrero!

López is something specialLópez es algo especial
He was already dancing ska as a puppyDesde cachorrito ya bailaba ska
His boots, his vest, and the way he walkedSus botas, su chaleco y su forma de andar
He's not domesticated, he's a ska catNo está domesticado, es un gato ska
