Bo Cartero [English translation]

Wait. Wait a minute Mr Postman

Wait. Wait Mr Postman

Please Mr Postman

don't play dumb and give it to me

a letter, a postal

or else I'll start crying.

There must be something today

Mr Postman give it to me

I'm waiting for a letter of my pretty girlfriend

who went to Colonia1 a year ago.

She promised to write back

and send me money to survive

and here I am without being able to sleep

all alone and choking the chicken.

Please Mr Postman

don't play dumb and give it to me

a letter, a postal

or else I'll start crying.

I know she still loves me

and that she doesn't date anybody else

but there's a doubt that consume me

if she doesn't write me 'cause she can't find a pencil.

Her tongue dried maybe

and she couldn't paste a stamp

but in Colonia that's no problem

there are always argentinians who lend saliva.

Please Mr Postman

don't play dumb and give it to me

a letter, a postal

or else I'll start crying.

Maybe she's trying to get

with a donkey or any other animal

a strong kick in the head

and to recover from an amnesia attack.

Mr Postman I want to ask you

from man to man without lying

that if someday there's a strike in the post office

I'll give you some bucks and you do the scab.

Please Mr Postman

don't play dumb and give it to me

a letter, a postal

or else I'll start crying.

And I say, come on man, come on man.

Mr Postman

come on man, come on man.

Mr Postman.

Some certified letter

or else you'll eat it folded 2

And I say, come on man, come on man.

Mr Postman

come on man, come on man.

Mr Postman.

Some letter with a poem

or else we'll do you a big enema.
