Cuna de colores
El Cuarteto de Nos
Cradle of Colors
They gave me a baby
and I make him eat paper
so when he's hungry
like his mother did
rummaging through garbage
he eats those wrappers
I roll him in the dirt
and cover him in tar, like a bird
so when there's no work
he won't fear falling low
even as a notary
he'll be able to wash away years
cradle of colors
cradle of colors
cradle of colors
this offspring has
I calm his pains
I calm his pains
I calm his pains
with insecticide
he has a cradle of colors
and I paint myself blue, and brown
so when I go blind
and feel very scared
he'll remember in his abyss
all this chromatism
and I calm his pains
with the flit machine
so when he gets sick
and can't buy remedies
he'll die with dignity
with the flit between his teeth
cradle of colors
cradle of colors
cradle of colors
this offspring has
I calm his pains
I calm his pains
I calm his pains
with insecticide
