La Cuña

The Wedge

La Cuña

Every full moon table has its wedgeToda mesa lunanca tiene su cuña
Every cripple has his boatTodo cojo tiene su lancha
Every wait comes with resignationToda espera tiene resignación

No good comes without some troubleNo hay bien que por bien no venga
No pale face that doesn't fallNi carepálida que no se caiga

Every crazy cat has its tame dogTodo gato loco tiene su perro manso
Every grace has its trapToda gracia tiene su trampa
Every gift has its strings attachedToda entrega tiene reserva

No verb that doesn't crownNo hay verbo que no corone
No land that doesn't yield gainNi tierra que no dé ganya

I amYo soy
A stickPalo
From the same wedgeDe la misma cuña

Every saint carries his guiltTodo santo carga su culpa
(Every)(Todo)
Every tough guy has his riskTodo guapo tiene su arrisque
(Every)(Todo)
In the purge, one is sanctifiedA la purga se santifica
(Every)(Todo)

Yes, there are evils that last a hundred years¡Sí hay males que duran cien años
And towns that endure them!Y pueblos que los resisten!

I amYo soy
A stickPalo
From the same wedgeDe la misma cuña
