Leo Catan
Los Miserables
Lyrics
Translation
A Leo Catan no conoce usted
You don't know Leo Catan
cantaba ska y bailaba reggae
He sang ska and danced reggae
tenia una choza en la orilla del mar
He had a hut on the seashore
ahí disfrutaba de su libertad
There he enjoyed his freedom
Hablaba de la paciencia
He spoke of patience
sin dejar de lado nunca la conciencia
Never neglecting conscience
Tranquilo un dia sentando en la arena
Quiet one day sitting in the sand
siempre contento y nunca guatita llena
Always content, never a full belly
cantaba una canción de los Clash
He sang a song by The Clash
Alguien se acerca se oye gritar
Someone approaches, shouts are heard
y llegan tres perros enormes
And three huge dogs arrive
uno canino y dos con uniforme
One canine, two in uniform
Leo no estorba ni quiere que lo estorben
Leo doesn't bother, doesn't want to be bothered
y no entiende esta ley deforme
And he doesn't understand this deformed law
la bondad es la unica ley del hombre
Kindness is the only law of man
Yo no me voy esta tierra es mia
I'm not leaving, this land is mine
no oculto nada mi casa esta vacia
I hide nothing, my house is empty
todo lo que tengo me lo dio esta tierra
Everything I have, this land gave me
no me lo quita ningun hijo de perra
No son of a bitch takes it from me
Con un golpe rompen su limpia cabeza
With a blow, they break his clean head
Leo toma un palo y les da la sorpresa
Leo takes a stick and gives them the surprise
ni te platico como quedo el Leo
I won't tell you how Leo ended up
todo quebrado y bastante feo
All broken and quite ugly
era feliz solo en su rincón
He was happy alone in his corner
aunque su casa fuera de cartón
Even though his house was made of cardboard
Rojo de sangre su gorro de lana
Red with blood, his woolen hat
su cuerpo herido y su conciencia sana
His body wounded, his conscience sound
Leo paso tres meses en cama
Leo spent three months in bed
y lleva más de un año en cana
And has been in jail for over a year
Acá la enfermedad es justa
Here, illness is fair
y es peligrosa una vida sana
And a healthy life is dangerous
