Joaquín el necio
Albert Pla
Joaquín the Fool
I who was used to
sleeping with someone,
I who had loved her so much,
ten years of marriage
Why did you leave, Rosa, my life?
Why did you leave with that black man?
Why did you leave if I love you?
What does the black man have that I don't?
Joaquín the Fool wondered,
five feet three, short and ugly,
stubborn, a tough guy,
horned husband, grumpy father.
And by trade...
A cobbler mender, oh, what a heel!
Maybe he has a big dick,
maybe the black man has a huge tool,
what the hell does Rosa, my life,
want to lose her ass for a dick?
Maybe Rosa has gone crazy
and it's not for his thing that she loves the man,
but that there is much more grace inside,
I have a lot of inner grace.
Joaquín the Fool lamented,
jealous and macho as a man he was,
I forgive you, Rosa, my life,
but that guy is unforgivable.
I'll castrate him...
That black man for being a thief, oh, what pain!
Once the last shoe
was fixed, he went out into the street,
knife in hand, summer sun,
he found them in a downtown bar.
And he entered the bar and silence fell,
the customers finished their drinks,
and without delay Joaquín the Fool
cut off the black man's entire dick.
Rosa cried on the bar,
the black man bled on the floor,
Joaquín cleaned his knife,
the customers resumed drinking.
Joaquín...
What's going on, cuckold? Oh, what passion!
Joaquín looked at the amputated part
and truly that was nothing
Oh, what did the damn black man have?,
What does the black man have that I don't?
Maybe Rosa has gone crazy,
Why did you leave with that black man?
And why did you leave if I have
much bigger? There's no comparison.
Joaquín the Fool cried with rage,
he didn't understand, he asked the sky,
the customers refilled their glasses
and unanimously replied:
But why, Joaquín? Why?
Why is that!
Because the black man is better than you,
he has no malice or bad heart.
The black man is better than you,
he is kinder and more fun.
The black man is better than you,
he has no treachery, he's more good-natured.
The black man is better than you,
he is more honest and hardworking.
