La Colilla Lyrics in English Manu Chao
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Colilla by Manu Chao from Spanish to English.
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Huelen a limpio por la alameda
They smell clean in the mall
Huelen a limpio, ropa plancha'
They smell clean, ironed clothes
Huelen a limpio, tintan en el pelo
They smell clean, they dye your hair
Dientes blancos pa' que lo vean cuando pasean
White teeth so they can see it when they walk
Huelen a limpio, calavera
They smell clean, skull
Huelen a guerra, huele a caga'o
They smell like war, they smell like shit
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Y corren, y corren, y van al estanco
And they run, and they run, and they go to the tobacconist
Comprarse una vela, un helado, una cruz
Buy a candle, an ice cream, a cross
Huelen a limpio, gente fina
They smell clean, fine people
Mar de orina, anuncios de luz
Sea of urine, light ads
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-le-le
Yeh-le-le, le-le-le
Huelen a limpio, ovejas y panteras
They smell clean, sheep and panthers
Viejas fieras, perfumes y banderas
Old beasts, perfumes and flags
Huelen a limpio, calavera
They smell clean, skull
Huelen a guerra, huele a caga'o
They smell like war, they smell like shit
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Tirando la colilla por la barandilla
Throwing the cigarette butt over the railing
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
Yeh-le-le, le-ley
