[English]
Uh, elfus. Yeah, the kid, the
whimsical. Uh,
[__] I've been the BFO since I was a
kid. [__] the B until it paints
brick and now everyone in the
islands wants to become millo to buy
chains for their kid. Today I
got up looking handsome, as good‑looking as always. I
put on the chains, the earrings and I go
out onto the streets of my islands with my people.
Here I'm already reading. Even if I keep my
style, I won’t go back to work. May
little God bless me. I sanctify myself and send a
kiss to those above. I’ll keep
singing and enjoying until God says,
"Support Pedrito while I’m alive,
because I’ll keep partying, eating
in Guayadeque, cashing checks, throwing
bills. I hate money, any day I’ll give it away across the island and we’ll go
party to hell." Grateful to the
palm. The first ones who gave it to me.
Then came the pork cracklings,
the cone lovers. I love them all. Eight
islands, a feeling. I dive deep
inside and I’m grateful to be from here, otherwise
what would I be if I were from another city or
maybe another country. How boring,
right, no fun at all. Put some style on,
dad, thank God. I live in
an archipelago
where they beat the drum and people
move
in the middle of the Atlantic, where you
and I live, where I know he/she loves me.
It’s always sunny here. I’m in
December wearing a skirt. Step out onto the street,
kid, and put down the console. On the 25th
tour, barely any time at the beach. On the 26th I
spend the whole day on a towel, I miss
the event and the paper on Thursdays. Here
arequas is what we drink on Saturdays,
areucas es lo que se bebe el sábado
the hangover, the quarries, impossible
to be happy that way from the palm
of the neighborhood. Blessings to everyone
the towns and all the neighborhoods and for
all those people who are living abroad,
come back whenever you want. They’re waiting for you,
and I’ll have time to rest when
I die. For now I’ll keep raising my
flag. The day I die,
bury me in the quarries and toss the
painted (??) into the sea. I never want to
ever
leave the land where Mom was born.
And even if I travel far, I’ll return to
there.
It will always be where I want to be.
I live in an archipelago
where they beat the drum and people
move
in the middle of the Atlantic, where you
and I live, where I know I am loved.
We live in an archipelago,
where they beat the drum and people
move
in the middle of the Atlantic, where you
and I, where I know I am loved.
