lyrics

en la aldea era una niña
que comía sola todos los días
pero no sabía que estaba sola
dormía con las mantas frías
¿a dónde vas, macabea?
yo no te olvidaré
llévame contigo, macabea
yo no te dejaré
todas las niñas en el pueblo
esperan a que el que más brilla
duermen debajo de las mantas
demasiadas y hacen
su propia mantequilla
todos los perros en el callejón
ir con simpatia a aullar a la luna
pero las morenas y las gitanas
vagando sin fortuna
¿a dónde vas, macabea?
tu vida es mi fanal
¿cómo puedo saber, macabea?
nunca será tu igual
nunca podría ser tu igual
todos los gatos en la ciudad
tienen un tipo de camaradería
pero la mujer desesperada
que quiere lo que nunca podría
¿cuando te vayas, macabea?
voy a caminar contigo
abre tu boca, macabea
para chupar el ombligo
y contestar el ombligo

translation:
in the village was a girl
she ate alone every day
she didn't know she was alone
she slept under cold blankets
Where are you going, Macabea?
I will not forget
take me with you, Macabea
I will not leave you
all the girls in town
wait for the one that shines
they sleep under too many covers
and make their own butter
all the dogs in the alley
go with eachother to howl at the moon
but dark women and Gypsy girls
are wandering without fortune
Where are you going, Macabea?
Your life is my beacon
How I can know, Macabea?
I will never be like you
I could never be your equal
all the cats in the city
have a kind of comraderie
but the desperate woman
wants what never will be
wants a beautiful flower
When will you go, Macabea?
I will walk with you
Open your mouth Macabea
to chew on your source
and answer your source
