Proverbios Chinos

Hay un pelo en mi sopa, una aguja en mi pajar
Y no me hace falta madrugar pa que amanezca
Y aunque te diga con quien ando seguro que no aciertas
Nadie es lo que aparenta

Y aunque tenga pelo cien años no pienso durar
Ni pondré mis barbas a remojar por culpa del vecindario
Y le miraré los dientes a todos los regalos
Incluido los caballos

Que ya me basta con mi destino
Y los consejos de libros divinos
Que ya me basta con estar de paso
Como pa' hacer caso
De los proverbios chinos

Que dos y dos son cuatro siempre que sepas sumar
Porque, a veces, ignorar es hacerse el listo
Te lo digo yo que no soy bizco:
¡Evaristo, que te he visto!

Y si me arrimo a un buen árbol, la sombra no me bastará
Y si me quiero cobijar espero que pasen los truenos
No vaya a ser que caiga un rayo y me haga polvo el cocotero
Y nos joda el refranero

Que ya me basta con mi destino
Y los consejos de libros divinos
Que ya me basta con estar de paso
Como pa' hacer caso
De los proverbios chinos

Y si le robo a un ladrón no me vaya a perdonar
Que, a lo mejor, al despertar me encuentra hurgando en su joyero
Y tantos años de perdón sean solo un sucio juego
Pa' convertirme en prisionero

Que ya me basta con mi destino
Y los consejos de libros divinos
Que ya me basta con estar de paso
Como pa' hacer caso

Hay un pelo en mi sopa una aguja en mi pajar
Y no me hace falta madrugar... pa' que amanezca

Chinese Proverbs

There's a hair in my soup, a needle in my haystack
And I don't need to get up early for it to dawn
And although I tell you who I'm with, you're sure to be wrong
Nobody is what they seem

And although I have a hundred years of hair, I don't plan to last
And I won't put my beard to soak because of the neighbors
And I'll look for teeth in all the gifts
Including the horses

That's enough with my destiny
And the advice of divine books
That's enough with my passing
As for doing the case
Of the Chinese proverbs

Two and two make four, as long as you know how to add
Because, sometimes, ignorance is pretending to be clever
I say, and I'm not cross-eyed:
Evaristo, I saw you!

And if I lean against a good tree, the shade won't be enough for me
And if I want to take cover, I hope the thunder will pass
Lest a lightning bolt strikes and turns my coconut tree to dust
And screws up the proverb

That's enough with my destiny
And the advice of divine books
That's enough with my passing
As for doing the case
Of the Chinese proverbs

And if I steal from a thief, he won't forgive me
Because maybe when I wake up, he'll find me rummaging in his jewelry box
And so many years of forgiveness will be just a dirty game
To become a prisoner

That's enough with my destiny
And the advice of divine books
That's enough with my passing
As for doing the case

There's a hair in my soup, a needle in my haystack
And I don't have to get up early... for the dawn
