El Grillo

Listen, darling, what I touched over there
Something strange, darling
Oh, oh, oh, it's an animal
It stings, darling

Darling, light the candle but run
Quickly, an animal might catch me
It's stinging me hard
Up on my knee, it could be a scorpion

What despair, my God
What an animal to sting so hard
I feel it like a needle
It could be a vampire that will suck my blood
Or some damn witch

Light the candle, I don't know where it is
It's on the table, I'm going there
Light the candle, I don't know where it is
It's on the table, I'm going there

Oh son, look at the animal
Hail Mary, darling, I touched
Something very strange over there
And it's very big, listen
Look for it, look for it, darling
That animal is catching me

Darling, for God's sake, my soul
I'm getting dizzy
I feel like fainting
I have a fog in my eyes, the
Cold sweat is running, my life is ending
My leg cramped up
The senses don't work anymore
And the heart doesn't beat
I'm going to die soon, so
Say four Our Fathers and give me the blessing

Light the candle, I don't know where it is
It's on the table, I'm going there
Light the candle, I don't know where it is
It's on the table, I'm going there

Can you believe it, Jorge
What a little animal the woman turned out to be, man
But here I have the club to kill it, listen
Give it to me, give it to me, hit it

Darling, light the candle but run
Quickly, an animal might catch me
It's stinging me hard
Up on my knee, it could be a scorpion

What despair, my God
What an animal to sting so hard
I feel it like a needle
It could be a vampire that will suck my blood
Or some damn witch

Light the candle, I don't know where it is
It's on the table, I'm going there
Light the candle, I don't know where it is
It's on the table, I'm going there

Oh my God, darling, that animal is going to kill me
What's wrong with this animal
That it won't leave, man
I'm touching something very strange, darling
Oh son, it's going to sting you

Stop the noise, darling, light it discreetly
Without scaring it away
Cover me with the blanket
But very carefully because
It might sting me
Cunningly, cunningly
Grab the machete
And pass me the knife
Be ready, keep an eye, lift quickly
Look, darling, that's a cricket
