El monstruo [English translation]

Lock the door

The animal is hungry.

Hide the child’s bicycle

Let the child cry.

The monster is loose.

The monster is loose…

Take away the car keys

from that crazy boy.

He doesn’t know what it’s like walking

With worn-out shoes.

Speak to him...of the monster

Speak to him... of the monster

Embrace me father

Don’t turn off the light

Tell me that you won’t leave.

In spite of my age

I’m still afraid

Afraid of the darkness.

Whisper to me mother

bless me

Turn on the light.

In spite of my age

I’m still afraid

afraid of the darkness.

Tell me of, tell me of... the monster

tell me of the monster...

Speak with the unwilling child prostitute

puberty has finally caught up to her

Instead of brushing her hair

Tell her about the animal

Tell her of, tell her of... the monster

tell her of the monster...

Embrace me father

Don’t turn off the light

Tell me that you won't leave.

In spite of my age

I’m still afraid

Afraid of the darkness

Embrace me father

Let us close the door

We have to speak

The monster is strolling outside

Eating humanity’s soul

Tell me of, tell me of... the monster

tell me of the monster...
