A Most Disgusting Song
Sixto Diaz Rodriguez
I've played every kind of gig there is to play now
I've played faggot bars, hooker bars, motorcycle funerals
In opera houses, concert halls, halfway houses
Well I found that in all these places that I've played
All the people that I've played for are the same people
So if you'll listen, maybe you'll see someone you know in this song
A most disgusting song
The local diddy bop pimp comes in
Acting limp he sits down with a grin
Next to a girl that has never been chaste
The bartender wipes a smile off his face
The delegates cross the floor
Curtsy and promenade through the doors
And slowly the evening begins
And there's Jimmy "Bad Luck" Butts
Who's just crazy about them East Lafayette weekend sluts
Talking is the lawyer in crumpled up shirt
And everyone's drinking the detergents
That cannot remove their hurts
While the Mafia provides your drugs
Your government will provide the shrugs
And your national guard will supply the slugs
So they sit all satisfied
And there's old playboy Ralph
Who's always been shorter than himself
And there's a man with his chin in his hand
Who knows more than he'll ever understand
Yeah, every night it's the same old thing
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
At the Inn-Between, again
And there's the bearded schoolboy with the wooden eyes
Who at every scented skirt whispers up and sighs
And there's a teacher that will kiss you in French
Who could never give love, could only fearfully clench
Yeah, people every night it's the same old thing
Getting pacified, ossified, affectionate at Mr. Flood's party, again
And there's the militant with his store-bought soul
There's someone here who's almost a virgin I've been told
And there's Linda glass-made who speaks of the past
Who genuflects, salutes, signs the cross and stands at half mast
Yeah, they're all here, the Tiny Tims and the Uncle Toms
Redheads, brunettes, brownettes and the dyed haired blondes
Who talk to dogs, chase broads and have hopes of being mobbed
Who mislay their dreams and later claim that they were robbed
And every night it's going to be the same old thing
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
Lost, even, at Martha's Vineyard, again
I've played every kind of gig there is to play now
Ho suonato ogni tipo di concerto che esiste ora
I've played faggot bars, hooker bars, motorcycle funerals
Ho suonato in bar per omosessuali, bar per prostitute, funerali di motociclisti
In opera houses, concert halls, halfway houses
In case d'opera, sale da concerto, case di mezzo
Well I found that in all these places that I've played
Beh, ho scoperto che in tutti questi posti in cui ho suonato
All the people that I've played for are the same people
Tutte le persone per cui ho suonato sono le stesse persone
So if you'll listen, maybe you'll see someone you know in this song
Quindi se ascolterai, forse vedrai qualcuno che conosci in questa canzone
A most disgusting song
Una canzone davvero disgustosa
The local diddy bop pimp comes in
Entra il magnaccia locale
Acting limp he sits down with a grin
Agendo da zoppo si siede con un sorriso
Next to a girl that has never been chaste
Accanto a una ragazza che non è mai stata casta
The bartender wipes a smile off his face
Il barista cancella un sorriso dal suo volto
The delegates cross the floor
I delegati attraversano il pavimento
Curtsy and promenade through the doors
Fanno un inchino e passeggiano attraverso le porte
And slowly the evening begins
E lentamente la serata inizia
And there's Jimmy "Bad Luck" Butts
E c'è Jimmy "Sfortuna" Butts
Who's just crazy about them East Lafayette weekend sluts
Che è semplicemente pazzo per quelle puttane del fine settimana di East Lafayette
Talking is the lawyer in crumpled up shirt
Parla l'avvocato con la camicia stropicciata
And everyone's drinking the detergents
E tutti stanno bevendo i detersivi
That cannot remove their hurts
Che non possono rimuovere i loro dolori
While the Mafia provides your drugs
Mentre la Mafia fornisce le tue droghe
Your government will provide the shrugs
Il tuo governo fornirà le spalle
And your national guard will supply the slugs
E la tua guardia nazionale fornirà i proiettili
So they sit all satisfied
Quindi si siedono tutti soddisfatti
And there's old playboy Ralph
E c'è il vecchio playboy Ralph
Who's always been shorter than himself
Che è sempre stato più basso di se stesso
And there's a man with his chin in his hand
E c'è un uomo con il mento in mano
Who knows more than he'll ever understand
Che sa più di quanto capirà mai
Yeah, every night it's the same old thing
Sì, ogni notte è la stessa vecchia cosa
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
Farsi uno sballo, ubriacarsi, eccitarsi
At the Inn-Between, again
All'Inn-Between, di nuovo
And there's the bearded schoolboy with the wooden eyes
E c'è lo studente barbuto con gli occhi di legno
Who at every scented skirt whispers up and sighs
Che ad ogni gonna profumata sussurra e sospira
And there's a teacher that will kiss you in French
E c'è un insegnante che ti bacerà in francese
Who could never give love, could only fearfully clench
Che non potrebbe mai dare amore, potrebbe solo stringere con paura
Yeah, people every night it's the same old thing
Sì, gente, ogni notte è la stessa vecchia cosa
Getting pacified, ossified, affectionate at Mr. Flood's party, again
Farsi pacificare, ossificare, affettuosi al party di Mr. Flood, di nuovo
And there's the militant with his store-bought soul
E c'è il militante con l'anima comprata al supermercato
There's someone here who's almost a virgin I've been told
C'è qualcuno qui che è quasi vergine mi hanno detto
And there's Linda glass-made who speaks of the past
E c'è Linda fatta di vetro che parla del passato
Who genuflects, salutes, signs the cross and stands at half mast
Che genuflette, saluta, fa il segno della croce e si mette a mezz'asta
Yeah, they're all here, the Tiny Tims and the Uncle Toms
Sì, sono tutti qui, i Tiny Tims e gli zii Tom
Redheads, brunettes, brownettes and the dyed haired blondes
Rosse, brune, castane e bionde tinteggiate
Who talk to dogs, chase broads and have hopes of being mobbed
Che parlano con i cani, inseguono le donne e sperano di essere assalite
Who mislay their dreams and later claim that they were robbed
Che perdono i loro sogni e poi sostengono di essere stati derubati
And every night it's going to be the same old thing
E ogni notte sarà la stessa vecchia cosa
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
Farsi uno sballo, ubriacarsi, eccitarsi
Lost, even, at Martha's Vineyard, again
Persi, addirittura, a Martha's Vineyard, di nuovo
I've played every kind of gig there is to play now
Eu já toquei em todos os tipos de shows que existem agora
I've played faggot bars, hooker bars, motorcycle funerals
Eu já toquei em bares gays, bares de prostitutas, funerais de motociclistas
In opera houses, concert halls, halfway houses
Em casas de ópera, salas de concerto, casas de meio caminho
Well I found that in all these places that I've played
Bem, eu descobri que em todos esses lugares que eu toquei
All the people that I've played for are the same people
Todas as pessoas para quem eu toquei são as mesmas pessoas
So if you'll listen, maybe you'll see someone you know in this song
Então, se você ouvir, talvez você veja alguém que você conhece nesta música
A most disgusting song
Uma música muito nojenta
The local diddy bop pimp comes in
O cafetão local entra
Acting limp he sits down with a grin
Agindo manco, ele se senta com um sorriso
Next to a girl that has never been chaste
Ao lado de uma garota que nunca foi casta
The bartender wipes a smile off his face
O bartender limpa um sorriso do rosto
The delegates cross the floor
Os delegados atravessam o chão
Curtsy and promenade through the doors
Reverenciam e promenam pelas portas
And slowly the evening begins
E lentamente a noite começa
And there's Jimmy "Bad Luck" Butts

Your government will provide the shrugs
Seu governo fornecerá os encolher de ombros
And your national guard will supply the slugs
E sua guarda nacional fornecerá as balas
So they sit all satisfied
Então eles se sentam todos satisfeitos
And there's old playboy Ralph
E tem o velho playboy Ralph
Who's always been shorter than himself
Que sempre foi mais baixo do que ele mesmo
And there's a man with his chin in his hand
E tem um homem com o queixo na mão
Who knows more than he'll ever understand
Que sabe mais do que jamais entenderá
Yeah, every night it's the same old thing
Sim, toda noite é a mesma coisa
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
Ficar chapado, ficar bêbado, ficar excitado
At the Inn-Between, again
No Inn-Between, de novo
And there's the bearded schoolboy with the wooden eyes
E tem o estudante barbudo com os olhos de madeira
Who at every scented skirt whispers up and sighs
Que a cada saia perfumada sussurra e suspira
And there's a teacher that will kiss you in French
E tem um professor que vai te beijar em francês
Who could never give love, could only fearfully clench
Que nunca poderia dar amor, só podia se contrair de medo

Getting pacified, ossified, affectionate at Mr. Flood's party, again

Sim, todos estão aqui, os Tiny Tims e os Uncle Toms

Que falam com cães, perseguem mulheres e têm esperanças de serem cercados
Who mislay their dreams and later claim that they were robbed
Que perdem seus sonhos e depois alegam que foram roubados

Ya, mereka semua di sini, Tiny Tims dan Uncle Toms
Redheads, brunettes, brownettes and the dyed haired blondes
Rambut merah, rambut coklat, rambut coklat muda dan pirang yang dicat
Who talk to dogs, chase broads and have hopes of being mobbed
Yang berbicara dengan anjing, mengejar wanita dan berharap diganggu
Who mislay their dreams and later claim that they were robbed
Yang salah menempatkan mimpi mereka dan kemudian mengklaim bahwa mereka dirampok
And every night it's going to be the same old thing

Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
Mabuk, mabuk, terangsang
Lost, even, at Martha's Vineyard, again
Hilang, bahkan, di Martha's Vineyard, lagi
