Disculpe El Señor Lyrics in English Joan Manuel Serrat
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Disculpe El Señor by Joan Manuel Serrat from Spanish to English.
Disculpe el señor
Excuse me sir
Si le interrumpo, pero en el recibidor
If I interrupt you, but in the hall
Hay un par de pobres que
There are a couple of poor people who
Preguntan insistentemente por usted
They insistently ask about you
No piden limosna, no
They don't ask for alms, no
Ni venden alfombras de lana
They don't even sell wool rugs
Tampoco elefantes de ébano
Neither ebony elephants
Son pobres que no tienen nada de nada
They are poor people who have nothing at all
No entendí muy bien
I didn't understand very well
Sin nada que vender o nada que perder
With nothing to sell or nothing to lose
Pero por lo que parece
But from the looks of it
Tiene usted alguna cosa que les pertenece
Do you have something that belongs to them?
¿quiere que les diga que el señor salió?
Do you want me to tell them that the man came out?
¿que vuelvan mañana, en horas de visita?
Should they come back tomorrow, during visiting hours?
¿o mejor les digo como el señor dice
Or should I tell you as the Lord says?
«santa rita, rita, rita
«holy rita, rita, rita
Lo que se da, no se quita»?
"What is given is not taken away"?
Disculpe el señor
Excuse me sir
Se nos llenó de pobres el recibidor
The hall was filled with poor people
Y no paran de llegar
And they don't stop coming
Desde la retaguardia, por tierra y por mar
From the rear, by land and by sea
Y como el señor dice que salió
And as the Lord says he came out
Y tratándose de una urgencia
And in the case of an emergency
Me han pedido que les indique yo
They have asked me to tell them
Por dónde se va a la despensa
Where do you go to the pantry?
Y que dios, se lo pagará
And God, he will pay for it
¿me da las llaves o los echo? usted verá
Can you give me the keys or I'll kick them out? you will see
Que mientras estamos hablando
that while we are talking
Llegan más y más pobres y siguen llegando
More and more poor people arrive and they continue to arrive
¿quiere usted que llame a un guardia y que revise
Do you want me to call a guard and check
Si tienen en regla sus papeles de pobre?
If they have their poor papers in order?
¿o mejor les digo como el señor dice
Or should I tell you as the Lord says?
«bien me quieres, bien te quiero
"You love me well, I love you well
No me toques el dinero»?
"Don't touch my money"?
Disculpe el señor
Excuse me sir
Pero este asunto va de mal en peor
But this matter is going from bad to worse
Vienen a millones y
They come in millions and
Curiosamente, vienen todos hacia aquí
Curiously, they all come here
Traté de contenerles pero ya ve
I tried to contain them but you see
Han dado con su paradero
They have found his whereabouts
Estos son los pobres de los que le hablé
These are the poor people I told you about
Le dejo con los caballeros
I leave you with the gentlemen
Y entiéndase usted
And you understand
Si no manda otra cosa, me retiraré
If you don't order anything else, I will leave
Y si me necesita, llame
And if you need me, call
Que dios le inspire o que dios le ampare
May God inspire you or may God protect you
Que esos no se han enterado
That they have not found out
Que carlos marx está muerto y enterrado
That Charles Marx is dead and buried
