Lyrics
їDnde dormir esta noche ese pobre viejo,
El que vaga por la calle sin tener morada,
Con la suerte consumida, como su pellejo,
Con las manos abatidas, como su mirada.
Ese que nos pide asilo en cualquier acera
Repitiendo su estribillo por una moneda.
El que nos preocupa, slo de pasada,
El que nos acusa sin decirnos nada?
їDnde dormir?
їDnde dormir?
Quien no quiera saberlo
Que apague la luz
O entierre la testa
Como el avestruz
Y siga evitando tocar este tema
Y siga pensando, que no es su problema
Y afirme, tajante: «Es ms importante
La miel que las abejas».
їCmo dormir esta noche esa bienhechora;
La que se proclama «dama de beneficencia»,
Que decora su paisaje como gran seora,
Con insignes personajes, como «Su Eminencia»
Que organiza mascaradas entre la nobleza
En apoyo a sus cruzadas contra la pobreza,
La que sobre todo, es de la doctrina
De curarlo todo con una aspirina?
їCmo dormir?
їCmo dormir?.
Lyrics translation
♪ sleep tonight that poor old man ♪ ,
The one who wanders the street without dwelling,
With luck consumed, like his skin,
With his hands down, like his eyes.
The one who asks us for asylum on any sidewalk
Repeating his refrain for a coin.
The one we're worried about, just in passing,
The one who accuses US without telling us anything?
sleeping?
sleeping?
Who doesn't want to know
Turn off the light
Or bury your head
Like the ostrich
And keep avoiding touching this topic
And keep thinking, that's not your problem
And say, forcefully: "it is more important
Honey that bees."
how to sleep tonight that benefactor;
The one who proclaims herself " Lady of charity»,
Who decorates his landscape like a great seora,
With distinguished characters, such as " Your Eminence»
Who organizes masquerades among the nobility
In support of their crusades against poverty,
Which, above all, is of the doctrine
To cure everything with an aspirin?
how to sleep?
how to sleep?.
