Текст и перевод песни Los Miserables - Leo catan

Leo catan

A Leo Catán no conoce usted
Cantaba Ska y bailaba Reggae
Tenía una choza a la orilla del mar
Ahí gozaba de su libertad
Hablaba de la paciencia
Sin dejar de lado nunca la conciencia

Tranquilo un día sentando en la arena
Siempre contento y nunca guatita llena
Cantaba una canción de los Clash
Alguien se acerca, se oye gritar
Y llegan tres perros enormes
Uno canino y dos con uniforme

Leo no estorba ni quiere que lo estorben
Y no entiende esta ley deforme
La bondad es la unica ley del hombre

Yo no me voy, esta tierra es mía
No oculto nada, mi casa está vacía
Todo lo que tengo me lo dio esta tierra
No me lo quita ningún hijo de perra
Con un golpe rompen su limpia cabeza
Leo toma un palo y les da la sorpresa

Ni te platico como quedo el Leo
Todo quebrado y bastante feo
Era feliz solo en su rincón
Aunque su casa fuera de cartón
Rojo de sangre su gorro de lana
Su cuerpo herido y su conciencia sana

Leo pasó tres meses en cama
Y lleva más de un año en cana
Acá la enfermedad es justa y es peligrosa una vida sana

Leo Catan

You don't know Leo Catan, my dear,
He sang Ska and danced the Reggae so clear,
He had a shack right by the ocean's side,
Where he enjoyed his freedom, far and wide.
He spoke of patience, wisdom in his voice,
Never neglecting conscience, his true choice.

One peaceful day, sitting on the sand so white,
Always content, though his belly wasn't tight,
He sang a song by The Clash, a rebel yell,
Someone approached, a sudden, angry swell.
Three enormous dogs then came in sight,
One a canine beast, two in uniform's might.

Leo caused no trouble, wanted none in return, my love,
He couldn't understand this law, so rough,
Kindness, he believed, is man's only true decree.

"I won't leave, this land is mine, you see,"
"I hide nothing, my house is empty, free,"
"Everything I have, this land has given to me,"
"No son of a bitch will take it, I guarantee."
With a blow they cracked his clean, young head, my sweet,
Leo grabbed a stick, gave them a surprise they'd meet.

I won't tell you how Leo ended up, my dear,
All broken and battered, oh so severe,
He was happy alone in his small domain,
Even though his house was made of cardboard, plain.
Red with blood, his woolen cap did stain,
His body wounded, but his conscience without a stain.

Leo spent three months in bed, in pain and strife,
And he's been in jail for over a year of his life.
Here, sickness is just, and a healthy life is a dangerous game, my love.
