Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
From waters to the west i settled downDesde las aguas del oeste me establecí
But in the belly of the city i carve my groundPero en el vientre de la ciudad marqué mi territorio
And as the days go by and the seasons changeY mientras pasan los días y cambian las estaciones
A red tide comes in from the bayUna marea roja llega desde la bahía
There goes cookie with his knifeAllá va Galleta con su cuchillo
There goes cookie with his knifeAllá va Galleta con su cuchillo
There goes cookie with his knifeAllá va Galleta con su cuchillo
With his knifeCon su cuchillo
I took a dirty, dirty wind from my chestTomé un viento sucio, sucio de mi pecho
And blew it down to the water's edgeY lo soplé hasta el borde del agua
There goes cookie with his knifeAllá va Galleta con su cuchillo
There goes cookie with his knifeAllá va Galleta con su cuchillo
There goes cookie with his knifeAllá va Galleta con su cuchillo
With his knifeCon su cuchillo
I'm gonna take off my clothes,Voy a quitarme la ropa
And empty my bones into the riverY vaciar mis huesos en el río
I'm gonna take off my clothes,Voy a quitarme la ropa
And empty my bones into the riverY vaciar mis huesos en el río
I'm gonna take off my clothes,Voy a quitarme la ropa
And empty my bones into the riverY vaciar mis huesos en el río
I took the wind and made it speakTomé el viento y lo hice hablar
And woke up all the freaksY desperté a todos los raros
I taught the cripples how to walkEnseñé a los cojos a caminar
And send them running to the peaksY los envié corriendo a las cimas
Til everyone was nakedHasta que todos estaban desnudos
They were naked, they were rawEstaban desnudos, estaban crudos
I drew a line down in the sand and made them fight a warDibujé una línea en la arena y los hice pelear una guerra
But they ran around in circlesPero corrían en círculos
So i rationed all their thoughtsAsí que racioné todos sus pensamientos
I took away their systems, i took away their lawsLes quité sus sistemas, les quité sus leyes
And some were on their knees,Y algunos estaban de rodillas
And some were swinging from the treesY algunos estaban colgando de los árboles
And the ones left to walk in syncY los que quedaban para caminar en sincronía
I taught them to believeLes enseñé a creer
Oh, to believeOh, a creer
That i could rain, rain on this whole paradeQue podría llover, llover en todo este desfile
And watch it roll, watch it roll away..Y verlo rodar, verlo rodar lejos...
