Translation of Un Mexicain from French to English
Rrrrr, ay ay ay
Let's sing the song of the Mexican
With the hat
A tanned Mexican is lying on the ground
The hat on his nose
As a, as a, as a
As a, as a, as a parasol
It's not far from noon according to the sun
It's amazing how sleepy I am today
Existence is an endless problem
Every day, every night it's the same, it's better to sleep
Just finding something to eat
Yet that's just a detail
But it would be enough to push a man to work, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
I'm as thirsty as thunder, I need to find
A guy to play a glass in three dice throws
I only see broke people all around me
And besides, they seem to cheat
As well as me
And yet my throat is like blotting paper
Blotting paper, it would suit me very well if it could rain
A tanned Mexican is lying on the ground
The hat on his nose
As a, as a, as a
As a, as a, as a
As a, as a, as a parasol
Here comes Cristobal, my God he's proud
It's true that he's only been a general since yesterday
When he's finished his revolution
We can continue our conversation
He is my best friend
I bet ten pesos on him
And if he's beaten, I'll just have to say goodbye
You see soldiers running in the streets everywhere
If you don't move out of the way, they'll step on you
And in the morning what a racket, holy name
How annoying, irritating
With their cannons
It should be forbidden such a racket at noon
When there are people, for heaven's sake
Who are so sleepy
A tanned Mexican is lying on the ground
The hat on his nose
As a, as a, as a
As a, as a, as a
As a, as a, as a
As a, as a, as a
As a (that the hat)
As a, as a, as a
As a (go to bed)
As a, as a, as a
As a, as a, as a parasol
