Negro Gato [English translation]

I’m a black cat I’ll give you the tingles

And this life of mine is one that embitters

Only from a roof I can defy the others

I am a black cat!

My sad history I’ll tell you guys

And you’re gonna cry after hearing it

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good meal

I am a black cat!

With seven lives I was born to live

Seven lucky chances I have to win

But if I don’t eat I’ll end up in a hole

I am a black cat!

Once up in the hills, poor old me

They wanted my skin as tambourine

Frightened I vanished in the woods

I am a black cat!
