Cuelebre

Cuelebre
They say the cuélebre has the scale of a fish
that lives inside the river that nobody sees
the last time they saw him he walked in the town
in the disguise of a bagpiper
he was loaded with mirrors that when you look at yourself
the big is small
they say the cuélebre has the scale of a fish.
They say the cuélebre only speaks in English
but he's going to learn to speak backwards
and not understand anyone not even in Chinese or in Bable
words are unnecessary
words get tangled
and form dark good ideas
they say the cuélebre only speaks in English.
The tongues say the cuélebre was a transvestite
but he tells people they made me this way
I can bark like a dog, swim like a fish
or fly like a crow
I like to walk the paths wearing wooden clogs
chasing after women
the tongues say the cuélebre was a transvestite
tthey say the cuélebre has inside out skin
someone saw him appear dragging his feet
with a red tunic, a extinguished lantern
that scares the children
but they approach him and the boldest ones
tweak his testicles
they say the cuélebre has inside out skin
