|
| Never had much trouble fitting into his surroundings

|
| His blood is pure venom and his teeth are solid gold

|
| His clothes are made from human skin

|
| He’s a thousand years old

|
| He lives down by the poisoned stream
| Vive junto al arroyo envenenado
|
| Where only alligators swim
| Donde solo nadan los caimanes
|
| Sits there drinking moonshine
| Se sienta allí bebiendo licor de luna
|
| Playing a mean violin a mean violin
| Tocando un violín malo, un violín malo
|
| A really wicked violin
| Un violín realmente malvado
|
| You’ve got four lines on your forehead

|
| Don’t shoot my dog
| No dispares a mi perro
|

| His wife is laying face down in the pool upon the porch
| Su esposa está acostada boca abajo en la piscina en el porche.
|
| He spied me through his blindness
| Me espió a través de su ceguera
|
| As I spied her with my torch
| Mientras la espiaba con mi antorcha
|
| His skin goes tight around his face
| Su piel se tensa alrededor de su cara.
|
| As he smiles his blinding smile
| Mientras sonríe su sonrisa cegadora
|
| Points over to a dozen wives laying in a pile

|
| Laying in a pile pile high | Acostado en un montón alto |
