Ciudadano Papagayo [English translation]

Good boy, fetch the stick, good boy

I love my job, I go to mass

I'm really nice, a citizen who respects the law

And I consume a tree's worth of bananas to loosen my bowels1

When we talk about the king

I work like an animal to earn a pittance baby,

And I'm right-wing

I force the crucifix on my wife and kids

And I don't go on strike

Idiot2

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, brainless fool

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, you don't think

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, they make me retch3

Like a parrot you repeat what they say on television

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, that's how the state wants them

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, all cooked up4

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, they make me retch

Bravely defend your executioner, surrender to the tamer

¡oi! ¡oi!

Good boy, fetch the stick, good boy

Tied to my mortgage, to my taxes

To my [payment] contracts, to my private school fees

But I give thanks to this beautiful democracy

For being an educated slave

People against the system give me revulsion and sorrow baby,

And I can't stand gays

And the South Americans and North Africans break the decorum

Of my glorious country

Idiot

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, brainless fool

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, you don't think

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, they make me retch

Like a parrot you repeat what they say on television

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, that's how the state wants them

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, all cooked up

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, they make me retch

Bravely defend your executioner, surrender to the tamer

You think there's no other way out, that there's nothing better

Ask yourself who it is

Who feeds your blindness, ask yourself who it is

Who feeds your demons, ask yourself who it is

Ask yourself who it is, ask yourself who it is

Who feeds your failure, ask yourself who it is

Who feeds your obedience, ask yourself who it is

Who tightens your chains, ask yourself who it is

Ask yourself who it is, ask yourself who it is

¡Ay! Papapapa, ¡ay! papapapapa

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, brainless fool

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, you don't think

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, they make me retch

Like a parrot you repeat what they say on television

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, that's how the state wants them

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, all cooked up

Ay! Papapapapaparrot, they make me retch

Bravely defend your executioner, surrender to the tamer

You've turned into a ridiculous parrot

You're the prototype of an anti-revolutionary citizen

Good boy, fetch the stick, good boy
