Canción Del Maestro
Los Tres Tristes Tigres
Teacher's Song
I must thank my teachers
For guiding my education
Even though it was a bit deficient
I won't be able to forget you
How can I forget
The many times
I was left without recess for no reason
I must confess that since then
I carry a great resentment in my chest
How to forget
Those complicated tasks you left
Those exams even Einstein wouldn't answer
I'm sure you wanted to fail me
And I hope
You have children and they all turn out dumb
And they fail so they suffer like I do
That they even need tutoring
It was the most complex for me
When I went to the blackboard
Knowing I'm very slow
The whole class made fun of me
If only you knew the fear it gave me
That you would catch me cheating
Even my heart would race
I swear I wasn't the biggest cheater
I want to leave
All the trauma I have on your conscience
Your tortures are what I remember most
I won't forget you threw the eraser at me
I want to express
But putting aside my resentment a bit
I wish you a happy Teacher's Day
And thank you very much for your effort and work
