Suele despertar desnudo en una calle y finge
He usually wakes up naked on a street and pretends
Naturalidad cuando la chica yanki encara hacia él

Entran a un lugar, mersa medieval
They enter a place, medieval mersa
Oyen un suspiro y pisan a un mendigo
They hear a sigh and step on a beggar
Y eso se transforma en la manguera de un narguile
And that becomes the hose of a hookael
Disimula el desconcierto cuando sus padres lo encuentran

Negociando kif por armas en plaza miserere

Van a un funeral por el chaparral

Besan a la viuda que se desfigura

Y esa mueca se transforma en su pariente

Van a un funeral por el chaparral

Rumbo a la medina en trance van salmodiando su nombre
