Lyrics
Tendrías que haber visto el careto
angelical de un servidor
el dia de mi primera comunión.
Disfrazado de contraalmirante
y repeinado el pelo con fijador
no veas como era el cante
que iba dando yo.
Cuando el párroco se inclinó
hacia mí temblé de emoción;
iba a llegar
a mis labios el dulce manjar…
Pero no pude recibir el sacramento,
me lo impidió un violento
ataque de tos.
Dieciseis veranos después
me ví de pingüino ante el altar otra vez
decidido a casarme, por fin, con Mari Cruz.
Al sonar la marcha nupcial
a mi pobre suegra le dió por llorar,
me hizo un guiño la novia
bajo el velo de tul.
«¿Quieres -Dijo Fray Bernabé-
por esposa a esta mujer?»
Raudo y feliz
iba yo a responder que sí…
Pero no pude consumar el casamiento,
me lo impidió un violento
ataque de tos.
Cuando la perentela que nunca me tragó
supo que me moría
alrededor del lecho de dolor
velaron noche y día;
pero no soy tan tonto para no advertir
que al calorcillo de la herencia
se reconcilian Abel y Cain
y el tajo pasa por Valencia.
La bruja de mi nuera «papa,
-me dijo- le conviene testar,
póngase usted
gafas, le traigo pluma y papel»…
Pero no conseguí firmar el testamento
porque me mató un violento
ataque de tos.
Pero no pude recibir el sacramento,
me lo impidió un violento
ataque de tos.
Pero no pude consumar el casamiento,
me lo impidió un violento
ataque de tos.
Pero no conseguí firmar el testamento
porque me mató un violento
ataque de tos.
Lyrics translation
You should have seen the grimace
angelic of a servant
the day of my first communion.
Disguised as Rear Admiral
and repainted hair with Fixer
don't see what the singing was like
that I was giving.
When the pastor bowed
I trembled with emotion;
I was coming.
to my lips the sweet delicacy…
But I could not receive the sacrament,
I was stopped by a violent
coughing attack.
Sixteen summers later
I saw myself Penguin at the altar again
determined to finally marry Mari Cruz.
When the wedding march rings
my poor mother-in-law was given for crying,
the bride winked at me
under the tulle veil.
"Do You Want To," Said Brother Barnabas-
to wife this woman?»
Raudo y feliz
I was going to say yes…
But I couldn't consummate the marriage,
I was stopped by a violent
coughing attack.
When the perentela that never swallowed me
he knew I was dying.
around the pain bed
they watched night and day;
but I'm not stupid enough not to warn
that the heat of inheritance
Abel and Cain are reconciled
and the Tagus passes through Valencia.
The Witch of my daughter-in-law "papa,
- he told me - you'd better test it,
put yourself on
glasses, I bring you pen and paper»…
But I couldn't sign the will.
because a violent man killed me.
coughing attack.
But I could not receive the sacrament,
I was stopped by a violent
coughing attack.
But I couldn't consummate the marriage,
I was stopped by a violent
coughing attack.
But I couldn't sign the will.
because a violent man killed me.
coughing attack.
