Lyrics and translation Ariel Rot - Ahora Piden Tu Cabeza




Ahora Piden Tu Cabeza
They're Asking for Your Head Now
Sal al ruedo torero o es que acaso tienes miedo
Step into the ring, bullfighter, or are you afraid?
Ellos pagaron por verte entre la vida y la muerte.
They've paid to see you between life and death.
Tómate un trago soldado, ¿no ves que estás atrapado?
Have a drink, soldier, can't you see you're trapped?
Y aunque estés muy mal herido hay un contrato firmado.
And even though you're badly wounded, there's a signed contract.
No te duermas colega que la gente está ya afuera
Don't fall asleep, my friend, the people are already outside
Ellos saben con certeza que la gloria es pasajera.
They know for sure that glory is fleeting.
Tómate un trago soldado y toca tu vieja canción
Have a drink, soldier, and play your old song
Que te espera un buen dinero, sexo, droga y rock &roll.
Because a lot of money, sex, drugs, and rock & roll await you.
Y ya es tarde y amanece,
And it's late and dawn is breaking,
La fiesta se desvanece
The party is fading away
Y aunque cortaste una oreja
And although you cut off an ear
Ahora piden tu cabeza...
They're asking for your head now...
No te lo creas artista, que estás bajando en la lista
Don't believe it, artist, because you're moving down the list
Antes ibas en primera y ahora viajas en turista.
Before you were in first class and now you're traveling in economy.
No tengas miedo torero y sal al ruedo otra vez
Don't be afraid, bullfighter, and go out into the ring again
Que te llevas esta noche lo que yo gano en un mes.
Because tonight you'll make what I earn in a month.
Y ya es tarde y amanece,
And it's late and dawn is breaking,
La fiesta se desvanece
The party is fading away
Y aunque cortaste una oreja
And although you cut off an ear
Ahora piden tu cabeza...
They're asking for your head now...
