Lyrics
To beast or not to beast, that is the hueso.
(Sarampin Mama, que esto es contagioso!)
Me voy porque aca no se puede,
Me vuelvo porque alla tampoco
Me voy porque aqui se me debe,
Me vuelvo porque alla estan locos
Sur o no sur…
Me voy porque aqui no me alcanza,
Me vuelvo porque no hay esperanza
Me voy porque aqui se aprovechan,
Me vuelvo porque alla me echan
Sur o no sur…
(Disculpe, la embajada de Italia?)
No s por qu pasa lo que me pasa,
Quizas sea la vejez
Quisiera quedarme aqui en mi casa,
Pero ya no s cual es Sur…
(A babor!)
No s por qu pasa lo que me pasa, quizas sea mi niez
Quisiera quedarme aqui en mi casa, pero ya no s cual es…
(Me voy para la embajada, me vuelvo por no estar visada
Me voy porque soy de por aca, me vuelvo por ser un sudaca
Malaya, qu triste destino, ser o no ser un Argelino
Malaya, qu triste destino, ser o no ser un marraschino…)
Sur o no sur.
Lyrics translation
To beast or not to beast, that is the bone.
(Sarampin Mama, that this is contagious!)
I'm leaving because you can't,
I'm going back because I'm not going back there either.
I'm leaving because I'm owed here,
I'm going back because they're crazy over there.
On o No South…
I'm leaving because it's not enough here,
I turn because there is no hope
I'm leaving because here they take advantage,
I go back because they throw me there
On o No South…
(Excuse me, the Italian Embassy?)
I don't know why what happens to me,
Maybe it's old age.
I'd like to stay here at my house,
But no longer s which is South…
(Port!)
I don't know why what happens to me, maybe it's my denial
I'd like to stay here at my house, but I'm not what it is anymore.…
(I leave for the embassy, I return for not being visa
I'm leaving because I'm from around here, I come back because I'm a sudaca
Malaya, what a sad fate, to be or not to be an Algerian
Malaya, what a sad fate, to be or not to be a marraschino…)
South or no South.
