2xluka - Pablo Diaulo traduction en anglais

2xluka

Dos por luca murió esta noche
Abajo de un poste,
Su vida corta
A nadie le importa,
Solo será una pregunta
Para los que le compraban
Solo se irá lentamente
Como los yuyos en mayo
Solo será el recuerdo de
Una cara alumbrada por un poste.

Dos por luca era respetado
Por todos los niños
Lo saludaban cuando llegaba
A los niños enseñaba
Como meterse en la pega
Y a los grandes ayudaba
A resolver sus problemas
Era la mano a él recurrían
Siempre estaba en momentos de angustia.

Llegó temprano a la casa
Y lo que se encuentra:
Su esposa saliendo
Sin su permiso.
A puros aplausos la acuesta
¿Eso era lo que queriai?
¿Que toh lo vecinoh ecuchen?
Entonces vuelve a la calle,
Entonces vuelve a la pega
Se lo merece, ella me obliga, a recordarle
2 x luca manda.

...como habrá muerto 2 x luca,
Niños dicen que fue por su mano.

2xluka

Two for a buck died tonight
Under a lamppost,
His short life
Nobody cares,
It will only be a question
For those who bought it
It will just go away slowly
Like weeds in May
It will only be the memory of
A face lit by a lamppost.

Two for a buck was respected
By all the children
They greeted him when he arrived
He taught the children
How to get into the business
And helped the adults
To solve their problems
He was the hand they turned to
He was always there in times of anguish.

He came home early
And what did he find:
His wife leaving
Without his permission.
With applause he puts her to bed.
Is that what you wanted?
For all the neighbors to hear?
So he goes back to the street,
So he goes back to work
He deserves it, she forces me to remind her,
Two bucks to rule.

...how could 2 x luca have died,
Kids say it was by his own hand.
