Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Acompáñeme Civil by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Bajaba la tiradentes en mi carro rumbo al mar
I was going down the road in my car heading to the sea
De pronto un faro intermitente me hizo señas de parar
Suddenly a flashing headlight signaled me to stop
Mi licencia de conducir me pidió con ojo febril
My driver's license asked me with a feverish eye
¿Qué se le va a hacer?
What are you going to do?
Tomó en sus manos mil papeles, burocracia elemental
He took a thousand papers in his hands, elementary bureaucracy
Total, que para nada sirve mi registro electoral
Totally, my electoral registration is useless
'Su licencia de conducir' me dijo
'Your driver's license' he told me
'Ha vencido en el mes de abril'
'He won in the month of April'
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Al destacamento
To the detachment
O resuelva desde aquí
Or solve from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me silence
Y olvídese de mí
and forget about me
'Su licencia de conducir' me dijo
'Your driver's license' he told me
'Ha vencido en el mes de abril'
'He won in the month of April'
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Al destacamento
To the detachment
O resuelva desde aquí
Or solve from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me silence
Y olvídese de mí
and forget about me
'Su licencia de conducir'
'Your driver's license'
'Ha vencido en el mes de abril'
'He won in the month of April'
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Al destacamento
To the detachment
O resuelva desde aquí
Or solve from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me silence
Y olvídese de mí
and forget about me
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Al destacamento
To the detachment
O resuelva desde aquí
Or solve from here
Cómpreme el silencio
Buy me silence
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
Acompáñeme, civil
Come with me, civilian
