Negro bajito y cabezón
Short black and big-headed
Solo pude ser peón
I could only be a pawn
De negras
Black
Lo mas chungo en ajedrez
The most chungo in chess
Luego con arrojo, tesón
Then with courage, tenacity
Y la estricta observación
And strict observation
De las reglas
Of the rules
Llegue hasta peón del rey
Reach King's Pawn
Pero de peón
But of pawn
La única salida
The only way out
Es la revolución
It's the revolution
Y soy el novio de la muerte
And I am the bridegroom of death
Del de enfrente
From the opposite
Como buen legionario
As a good legionnaire
El blanco bueno es el blanco muerto
The good white is the dead white
Que el tuerto
That the one-eyed
Ahorra y pone un estanco
Save and put a tobacconist
Mas si cayese yo primero
But if I fell first
No quiero que lloréis
I don't want you to cry
Porque en la caja de las fichas
Because in the box of chips
Para la reina soy el picha
For the queen I am the picha
Que tumbaos fuera del tablero
Let you lie off the board
No hay clases ni apartheid
No classes and no apartheid
El problema es que mi señor
The problem is that my lord
Que culea de estribor
Starboard culea
Pretende enrocarse con el alfil
He intends to enrocarse with the bishop
Y la reina, que el liberal
And the queen, that the liberal
No lo ve del todo mal
He doesn't see it all bad.
Si a ella le dejan irse a Estoril
If she is allowed to go to Estoril
Yo también me voy
I'm leaving too
No sea que el monarca
Lest the monarch
Me enfile por Detroit
I file for Detroit
Mas si cayese yo primero
But if I fell first
No quiero que lloréis, no quiero!
I don't want you to cry, I don't want to!
Porque en la caja de las fichas
Because in the box of chips
Para la reina soy el picha
For the queen I am the picha
Que tumbaos fuera del tablero
Let you lie off the board
No hay clases ni apartheid
No classes and no apartheid
Cuando se es peón
When you are a pawn
La única salida

Es la revolución
It's the revolution
