la luz esta vencida, la plata se acabó
the light is expired, the money is gone
nos cortaron el agua y el arroz se terminó
They cut off our water and the rice ran out
y pensar que hasta hace poco tiempo no estábamos tan mal
and to think that until recently we were not so bad
los fines de semana comíamos en restorán
On weekends we ate at a restaurant
y mis chicos siempre fueron a colegio privado
and my boys always went to private school
ahora en la puerta del colegio venden maní robado
Now at the school gate they sell stolen peanuts
y para comprar alcohol, que nuestras penas selle

les rompimos la chanchita que les dejaron los reyes
We broke the piggy bank that the kings left them
mi auto se pudre en el garage

porque la nafta ya no me da

no soy materialista pero que le vamo a hacer

a mi madre internada la maté ayer con un fierro

porque me salía más caro el asilo que el entierro

And speaking of the male, we sold him to a raja
y la nena del medio esta yirando en bulevar
and the girl in the middle is walking on the boulevard
al más grande lo mantiene una vieja jubilada
The largest one is maintained by an old retiree
que si la atiende bien me lo manda con empanadas

y a mi mujer de golpe apendicitis le surgió
and my wife suddenly developed appendicitis
y no teníamos plata para pagarle a un doctor
and we didn't have money to pay a doctor
la opere yo mismo con un corta uñas y algodón

y el apéndice era grande y en el guiso terminó

no soy materialista pero que le vamo a hacer
