Gato de las cuchillas

(Cat)

Don't play dumb, brother
Don't be so clueless
They've eaten your stew
Take the soup.
And hold on a little longer, don't go hungry,
You'll need strength, for the corambre.

The old country folks say
And it's not a lie
When the flood comes, goodbye... tararira...
The rich folks will shake in fear,
When they hear the screams in the blades.
