Lyrics and translation Alberto Cortez - La Miel Y Las Abejas




La Miel Y Las Abejas
Honey and the Bees
¿Dónde dormirá esta noche ese pobre viejo,
Where will that poor old man sleep tonight,
El que vaga por la calle sin tener morada,
He who wanders the streets without a home,
Con la suerte consumida, como su pellejo,
With his luck all used up, like his skin,
Con las manos abatidas, como su mirada.
With his hands hanging down, like his gaze.
Ese que nos pide asilo en cualquier acera
He who begs us for shelter on any sidewalk
Repitiendo su por una moneda.
Repeating his for a coin.
El que nos preocupa, sólo de pasada,
He who worries us, just in passing,
El que nos acusa sin decirnos nada?
He who accuses us without saying anything?
¿Dónde dormirá?
Where will he sleep?
¿Dónde dormirá?
Where will he sleep?
Quien no quiera saberlo
Whoever does not want to know
Que apague la luz
Let her turn off the light
O entierre la testa
Or bury her head
Como el avestruz
Like the ostrich
Y siga evitando tocar este tema
And keep avoiding touching this topic
Y siga pensando, que no es su problema
And keep thinking that it's not her problem
Y afirme, tajante: ""Es más importante
And state, definitively: "More important
La miel que las abejas"".
Is the honey than the bees."
¿Cómo dormirá esta noche esa bienhechora;
How will that benefactress sleep tonight;
La que se proclama ""dama de beneficencia"",
She who proclaims herself ""lady of charity"",
Que decora su paisaje como gran señora,
Who decorates her landscape like a great lady,
Con insignes personajes, como ""Su Eminencia"";
With distinguished figures, like ""His Eminence"";
Que organiza mascaradas entre la nobleza
Who organizes masquerades among the nobility
En apoyo a sus cruzadas contra la pobreza,
In support of her crusades against poverty,
La que sobre todo, es de la doctrina
She who above all, is of the doctrine
De curarlo todo con una aspirina?
Of curing everything with an aspirin?
¿Cómo dormirá?
How will she sleep?
¿Cómo dormirá?
How will she sleep?
