El Cuarteto de Nos "Manfreddi" lyrics

Translation to:en

Manfreddi

Manfreddi tenía un hijoRetardado mental.Era viudo y manteníaA su suegra y su mamá:

Y cuando llegaba la hora de almorzarSalía de trabajarCuando se encontraba meta cocinarLas viejas solían gritar:

"Danos de comer"Ay, ay,ay, ay."Que ya son la una"Ay, ay,ay, ay."Venime a cambiar"Ay, ay,ay, ay."Que ya me hice encima"Ay, ay,ay, ay.

Manfreddi vivía ahorrandoPara poder vivir.Se pudo comprar la casaUn mes antes de morir.

Cuando agonizaba en el hospitalEl cura le vino a rezarY por los pasillos bailan enfermerasAl ritmo del sermón final.

Ten piedad señorAy, ay,ay, ay.De este pobre idiotaAy, ay,ay, ayDerrama tu amorAy, ay,ay, aySobre este taradoAy, ay,ay, ay

El dios de los infelicesNo lo dejó entrarPues ya tenía albergadoA más de medio uruguay.

Y después de un largo y duro deambularAl infierno fue a parar,Luego de una espera frente al gran portal,Abrieron y pudo pasar.

Apenas entróAy, ay,ay, ay.Ya se lo clavaron.Ay, ay,ay, ay.Pero le gustó.Ay, ay,ay, ay.Así que lo echaron.Ay, ay,ay, ay

Manfreddi

Manfreddi had a sonWho was retardedHe was a widower and he keptHis mom and his mother-in-law:

And when the lunch time cameHe got out of the jobWhen he reached home and started cookingThe old ladies used to scream:

"Give us the food"Ay, ay,ay, ay."It's one o'clock"Ay, ay,ay, ay."Change my clothes"Ay, ay,ay, ay."I soiled myself"Ay, ay,ay, ay.

Manfreddi lived savingTo be able to live.He could buy the houseOne month before dying.

When he was dying in the hospitalThe priest came to preyAnd through the aisles the nurses danceTo the beat of the final sermon.

Have mercy lordAy, ay,ay, ay.Of this poor idiotAy, ay,ay, ay.Spill your loveAy, ay,ay, ay.Over this stupidAy, ay,ay, ay.

The God of the unhappyDidn't let him inBecause he already housedMore than half Uruguay.

And after a long and hard wanderingHe ended in hell,After a long wait in front of the big door,They opened and he could walk in.

As soon as he got inAy, ay,ay, ay.They raped him.Ay, ay,ay, ay.But he liked it.Ay, ay,ay, ay.So they kicked him out.Ay, ay,ay, ay.
