El Gato Viudo

The Widowed Cat

El Gato Viudo

When the moon rises bigCuando la luna se pone regrandota
Like a big ball and lights up the alleyComo una pelotota y alumbra el callejon
You hear the meow of a sad widowed catSe oye el maullido de un triste gato viudo
And its furry back bristles with horrorY su lomo peludo se eriza con horror
But there is always someone who sends a shoe blowPero no falta quien mande un zapatazo
That turns into a gunshot to shut him upQue salga hecho balazo a quitarle lo chillon
On the eaves of the mystical roof the catEn el alero del mistico tejado el gato
Has complained singing this songSe ha quejado cantando esta cancion

To cure the lovesickness the doctors saidPara curar el mal de amores dijeron los doctores
That there was no salvation, now they call me widowed catQue no habia salvacion, ahora me dicen gato viudo
Because a female cat was able to shut me upPorque una gata pudo quitarme lo chiqueon.
Before I used to get my groceries, I got my ice creamAntes sacaba del mandado, me daba pa'mi helado,
My movie and my soccer, now with what happened to meMi cine y mi futbol, ahora con lo que me a pasado
I'm colder than a popsicleMe tiene mas enfriado que un hielo de jaibol

With this sad and meowing serenade the nightCon esta triste y maullida serenada la noche
Is a nuisance, the bravest can't sleepEs una lata no duerme el mas gallon.
An old lady came out with cream and a robeSalio una vieja con cuetes crema y bata
And asked the cat to have compassionY le pidio a la gata tuviera compasion,
But the cat pretends to be reluctantPero la endina se hace la remolona,
Because the landlady says no more pullingPos dice la patrona que ya no de jalon.
The poor cat is paying the priceEl pobre gato esta pagando el pato
Here comes another shoe and here comes another songAlla va otro zapato y alla va otra cancion:

To cure the lovesickness the doctors saidPara curar el mal de amores dueron los doctores
That there was no salvation, now they call me widowed catQue no habia salvacion. Ahora me dicen gato viudo
Because a female cat was able to shut me upPorque una gata pudo quitarme lo chiqueon.
