Chévere

Chévere del navajazo,

The dandy of the knife thrust

se vuelve él mismo navaja:

himself becomes a knife:

pica tajadas de luna,

he cuts slices of the moon,

mas la luna se le acaba;

but the moon is fading on him;

pica tajadas de sombra,

he cuts slices of shadow,

mas la sombra se le acaba;

but the shadow is fading on him,

pica tajadas de canto,

he cuts slices of song,

mas el canto se le acaba;

but the song is fading on him;

y entonces pica que pica

and then he cuts up, cuts up

carne de su negra mala.

the flesh of his evil black woman.
