La Iguana
Lila Downs
The Iguana
An iguana fell from the top of a ladder
From the blow it took, it hurt its hips
Oh my iguana, where are you going
I'm going to the town of solitude
Whether it's a lie or it's true that in that town
There's no news, if there were, it's by chance
If it's so ugly, what an ugly iguana
That climbs a stick
And then gets off
Lays its little egg, cackles
Gets into the little hole, so no one sees her
Looks at herself in the mirror
Because she's very ugly
Do the same so you believe
Jea jea jea jea
An iguana fell from the top of a ladder
An iguana fell from the branch of a tree
From the blow it took, it burst its tomatoes
Oh my iguana, where are you going
I'm going to the town of solitude
Whether it's a lie or it's true
That in that town there's no news
If there were, it's by chance
If it's so ugly, what an ugly iguana
That climbs a stick, and then gets off
Lays its little egg, cackles
Gets into the little hole so no one sees her
Sticks out its little leg, as if kicking
Sticks out its little tail, as if wagging
Sticks out its little claws, as if scratching
Sticks out its little nostrils, as if sniffing
Sticks out its little head, as if nodding
Sticks out its little ear, as if listening
Jea jea jea jea
An iguana fell from the branch of a tree
