Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Primitives dress in feathers and masksPrimitivos visten plumas y máscaras
To scare away their enemiesPara asustar a sus enemigos
The frightening thing is not dyingLo aterrador no es morir
The frightening thing is not livingLo aterrador no es vivir
Scientists guess which is worse we will askLos científicos adivinan cuál es peor, preguntaremos
The medicine or the diseaseLa medicina o la enfermedad
The frightening thing is not dyingLo aterrador no es morir
The frightening thing is not livingLo aterrador no es vivir
There's an old man living on the edge of town, edge of townHay un anciano viviendo en el borde del pueblo, borde del pueblo
With a skull in his window and the shades pulled down, shades pulled downCon un cráneo en su ventana y las cortinas cerradas, cortinas cerradas
And he laughs at fortune and he laughs at fame, he laughs at fameY se ríe de la fortuna y se ríe de la fama, se ríe de la fama
And he laughs at scandal and he laughs at shame, he laughs at shameY se ríe del escándalo y se ríe de la vergüenza, se ríe de la vergüenza
Primitives dress in feathers and masksPrimitivos visten plumas y máscaras
To scare away their enemiesPara asustar a sus enemigos
The frightening thing is not dyingLo aterrador no es morir
The frightening thing is not livingLo aterrador no es vivir
Scientists guess which is worse we will askLos científicos adivinan cuál es peor, preguntaremos
The medicine or the diseaseLa medicina o la enfermedad
The frightening thing is not dyingLo aterrador no es morir
The frightening thing is not livingLo aterrador no es vivir
There's a young girl living on the edge of town, edge of townHay una joven viviendo en el borde del pueblo, borde del pueblo
With a light in her window and her hair falls down, hair falls downCon una luz en su ventana y su cabello cae, cabello cae
And she loves me crazy and she loves me wild, loves me wildY me ama locamente y me ama salvajemente, me ama salvajemente
And she loves me tender like a lonely child, lonely childY me ama tiernamente como a un niño solitario, niño solitario
Primitives dress in feathers and masksPrimitivos visten plumas y máscaras
To scare away their enemiesPara asustar a sus enemigos
The frightening thing is not dyingLo aterrador no es morir
The frightening thing is not livingLo aterrador no es vivir
