La Calaca

Take care, gentlemen
Because death is on its way
In the Pantheon of Sorrows
He already has a little spot for us
For the composers
And one and another journalist
Graduates and doctors
All are on the list

Tuku-tuku tiki-taka
How ridiculous death is
When we least think of it
It comes to give us the boot
I escaped him once before
But he almost caught me

Death does not care about money
Nor does it make distinctions
The same fate comes to the poor
As the rich with their millions
One goes in a golden casket
The other purely in his underwear
But with the passing of a little time
They are both equally as bald

Tuku-tuku tiki-taka
How ridiculous death is
Weak ones and strong ones
No one escapes from death
We arrive at the same end
In a backpack or in a flask

I knew a merchant
Who was good at robbing the client
The things that were worth five
He always sold them for twenty
But he did from cold
Poor thing, suddenly
They sent him to hell
For the devil to warm him up

Tuku-tuku tiki-taka
How ridiculous death is
To all those mites
Have them wear ties
Undesirable users
Suck like ticks

The worker earns his bread
With the sweat of his brow
For his children to eat
Although it is not sufficient
Meanwhile, many abusers
Live in violation of the laws
Earning what they want
By playing the fool

Tuku-tuku tiki-taca
How ridiculous death is
I apologize
If I've already messed up
Although they're very similar
An ox is not the same as a cow

The balance of life
Is very uneven
There are few who earn a lot
And many do not earn a thing
The work of the laborer
Has no compensation
With this mini-salary
It's not even enough for trucks

Tuku-tuku tiki-taca
How ridiculous death is
If you meet the devil
Beg him not to be mean
So that the cost of living
Will be cheaper for us

Take care, gentlemen
Those that are already voters
The elections are coming
With their manipulators
And each party says
That you must vote for them
And that from here, on-out
They'll give us the life of kings

Tuku-tuku tiki-taca
How ridiculous death is
Here comes another president
Sounding the noisemaker
He comes promising much
But he will give pure
Tuku-tuku tiki-taca
