La calle del gato que pesca
María Elena Walsh
The street of the fishing cat
Dangerous it is
to walk through the street
the street of the cat
of the cat that fishes
that fishes and then
hides and escapes-pa, pa-pa
Do you see it or not
the fishing cat
There, there
Sitting in its little window
To the people who
pass by distractedly
the bandit cat
with rod and hook
fishes their hat
hat and bow-ow, ow-ow
Do you see it or not
the fishing cat
There, there
Sitting in its little window
The French cat
with so many hats
nobody knows what
what it does next
and the thing is
is that it disguises-es, es-es
Do you see it or not
the fishing cat
There, there
Sitting in its little window
But one day the cat
went out disguised
with a police
police cap
Disguised like that
it took a walk-alk, alk-alk
Do you see it or not
the fishing cat
There, there
Sitting in its little window
Disguised like that
it heard the repor
t of a passerby
against a cat ma
t because it stole
stole the bonnet-et, et-et
Do you see it or not
The fishing cat
There, there
Sitting in its little window
The cat couldn't
Say it's me
Confused it has
No other choice
But to take itself
Prisoner to the cell-ell, ell-ell
Do you see it or not
The fishing cat
There, there
Sitting in its little window
