La Farolera

The Lamplighter

La Farolera

The lamplighter stumbled and fell in the streetLa farolera tropezó y en la calle se cayó
And passing by a barracks, she said fuck you to a colonelY al pasar por un cuartel le hizo fuck you a un coronel
At midnight, I started countingA la media noche me puse a contar
But all the counts were wrongPero todas las cuentas me salían mal

And two and two are four, four and two are sixY dos y dos son cuatro, cuatro y dos son seis
Six and two are eight, and eight sixteenSeis y dos son ocho y ocho dieciséis
And six and two are eight, and eight thirty-twoY seis y dos son ocho y ocho treinta y dos
Blessed soul, I don't kneel before youÁnima bendita, no me arrodillo en vos

To the east and to the west it rains, it will rainAl este y al oeste llueve, lloverá
A flower, a celestial flower in the jacaranda treeUna flor, una flor celeste en el jacarandá
The squirrels laugh hahahaha!Se ríen las ardillas jajajajajaja!
Because the wind tickles them in the jacaranda treePorque el viento le hace cosquillas en el jacarandá
Where? In the jacaranda tree¿Dónde? En el jacarandá
Where? In the jacaranda tree¿Dónde? En el jacarandá
Where? In the jacaranda tree¿Dónde? En el jacarandá
Where?¿Dónde?

We are invited to have teaEstamos invitados a tomar el té
The porcelain teapot, but it's not visibleLa tetera de porcelana, pero no se ve
The milk is cold, and I'll warm it upLa leche tiene frío y la abrigaré
I'll put on my long overcoat, long down to the feetLe pondré sobretodo mío largo, largo hasta los pies
Be careful when you drink, it will spillCuidado cuando beban, se les va a caer
Your nose inside the cup, but it's not rightLa nariz dentro de la taza, pero no está bien
