Pedro Navaja [English translation]

Around the corner of the all town i saw him walk

he's walking easy for his god looks he likes to flaunt

keeps all of the time both of his hands inside his coat

so no one can tell in wich of them carries his knife

he always wears a tilted hat with a wide brim

and soft sole shoes just in the case he has to flee

wears dark sunglasses so you dont know what's looking at

and a goldtooth that when he laughs ligths up the street

about three blocks from where he is, a woman walkes by

today she been up and down that sidewalk maybe five times

she gets in a hallway and drinks from her bottlej ust to forget

the day it,s not great ,hardly any clients for her to get

A car cruises slowly so very slowly down that street

it,s got no markings but they all know it's the police

pedro navaja always with his hands withing his coat

looks and smiles and again the shine of that gold tooth

as he keeps walking his eyes keep moving from side to side

he can't see a soul,it is deserted the entire place

of all the sudden out of the hallway that woman comes out

and pedro navaja clutches his knife inside his coat
