WOULD YOU MARRY AN ENGLISH GIRL?
The singer and songwriter Alvaro Peña-Rojas was born in
1943 in Chile. In 1974 he came to London where he formed with
Joe Strummer (The Clash) the legendary group called THE 101'ERS.
ALVARO with his self-produced LPs is an important figure in the
origins and developments of the independent music movement,
better known as The Indies, when a handful of musicians in the
mid-seventies in London ignored for the first time the
established record companies and decided to produce and
distribute (with considerable difficulties) their own records.
Finally, it has to be mentioned that every new form of music is
always difficult to define and the case of ALVARO is by no
means an exception. A music and poetry that accepts experimental
European elements, but keeping at the same time a solid South
American base can perhaps be classified as TRANSITIONAL MUSIC,
which is the way ALVARO himself has tried to define his own work.
A BIT TOO MUCH
Do you think I'm stupid
To believe all you say
Everytime you open your mouth
Is to tell lies
It's best for me to go
And leave you to your lies
No point of being together now
We're just waisting our time
Someone stole my beautiful flower
I feel like throwing myself
From the Eiffel tower
CASI, CASI GANE
Siete
Queria el siete
Pero salió
Pelá el dos
Jugamos al amor
En Valparaiso
Los Dados del Amor
En la casa verde
Casi, casi gané
Pero finalmente perdi
(Si no fuera por el casi)
No te veré
Nunca jamás
Tengo miedo
Mucho miedo
Jugamos al amor
En Valparaiso
Dados traicioneros
Como cuchillos
Dados traicioneros
De doble filo
English translation: I ALMOST WON
Seven
I wanted the seven
But I got naked two
We played with love
In Valparaiso
The Dice of Love
In the light-green house
I almost, almost won
But I finally lost
(If only it had not been
for the almost)
I will not see you again
I am afraid
Very afraid
We played with love
In Valparaiso
Treacherous dice
Like knives
Treacherous dice
Like double-edge knives
CHOOSE YOUR CHEESE
BLIND MAN
BLIND MAN
CHOOSE YOUR CHEESE.
THE SAME WAY A BLIND MAN
CHOOSES HIS CHEESE
A BLOODY BED-BUG
CHOOSES MY SKIN
COLLIT CHEAP FILOSOFY
COLLIT CAEZA-E-PECAO
BUT THE TRUTH LIES THERE
IN A TIN OF BACALAO
I KANT LOVE A BED-BUG
BAITING MY SKIN
I KANT LOVE A BABY
DRIBBELING DOWN MY TITS
SHOULD I LOVE A LORRY DRIBER
FONDLING MY BUM?
OR LOVE A BUTCH PISSING ME OVER
MAKING ME COME. MAKING ME COME.
LOVE IS THE MOST UNHUMAN THING.
LOVE IS THE MOST UNHUMAN THING.
WHEN FRIENDSHIP HAS DIED
AND ONLY BODIES REMAIN
MONGOLOID CHILDREN
WILL BE KILLED BY THE STATE
AND BEES WILL GIVE
BLOOD INSTEAD
AND GONE WILL BE D DAYS OF
CHEAP BREAD SPREAD
BUT WHY BOVER WITH SO MUCH
SHIT TO SAY
WE'RE ALL GONO GO
ANYWAYS
COLLIT CHEAP FILOSOFY
COLLIT CAEZA-E-PECAO
BUT THE TRUTH LIES THERE
IN A TIN OF BACALAO
BLIND MAN
BLIND MAN
CHOOSE YOUR CHEESE.CHOOSE YOUR
CHEESE.
DICHO CHILENO
Qué triste es amar sin ser amado,
Pero peor es cagar sin haber comido.
CHILEAN SAYING
How sad is to love without being loved,
But worst still is to shit without having eaten.

ERRARE HUMANUM EST
Errare humanum est
Brunito su cabeza sacó
Gritó y gritó
Y nadie escuchó
Talco o Jakarta
Berlin o Bombay
Konstanz o Katmandú
Adú, adú
Cogito Ergo Sum
Pascuala canta y ella
Cogito Ergo Sum
Gonzalito juega al rún-rún
Errare humanum est
Me casé cuatro veces
El Pipán dice: "¿a po qué?"
Yo tampoco lo sé
Dr. Honoris Causa
Dr. Alvaro ne seré
La letra con sangre entra
Pero conmigo nunca entró
Errare humanum est
Eébil la carne es
Errare humanum est
Y nadie escuchó
English translation: TO ERR IS HUMAN
To err is human
Brunito got his head out
Screamed and screamed
But nobody heard a thing
Talca or Jakarta
Berlin or Bombay
Konstanz or Katmandoo
Adoo, adoo
Cogito Ergo Sum
Pascuala sings and she is
Cogito Ergo Sum
Gonzalito plays run-run
To err is human
I got married four times
Little Pipán says "and why?"
Well, I don't even know myself.
Dr. Honoris Causa
Dr. Alvaro I will never be
Learning and the cane is a must
But not even the cane worked with me
To err is human
How weak the flesh is
To err is human
But nobody heard a thing
run-run: Chilean children's game
GREEN VELVET SUIT
She was on the tube
I got on at Charing Cross
And like everyday
She didn't look at me
I even had a Green Velvet Suit
And a yellow bow tie
To make myself even more noticed
I died my hair really red
And I hope tomorrow
She will give me a glance
It's my very last chance
For the long week-end
HONEY
DON'T BE AFRAID OF BEES
DON'T BE AFRAID OF BEES
BEES DON'T STING IF YOU LOVE THEM
BEES WILL COME IF YOU GIVE THEM A HOME
IT'S EASY TO GIVE BEES A HOME
AND BEES WILL GIVE YOU HONEY IF YOU LOVE THEM
I LOVE HONEY BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP
I LOVE HONEY BECAUSE IT MAKES ME SING
I LOVE HONEY BECAUSE IT GETS RID OF MY WINTER COLDS
I LOVE HONEY
I LOVE HONEY
HONEY
INVENTO INFANTIL
El amor lo inventó un niño
Con los ojitos cerrados
Por eso que son ciegos
Todos los enamorados
IS THE GARMENT READY?
Only a few more stitches to go
They're already knocking at the door
Shall I offer them tea and toast?
No! - No! - No!
Sing us a song
My soul won't be donated
My soul won't be given away
My heart will stay inside
Deep, deep inside
The sweetness of this song
Might drift them away from me
The sweetness of this song
Might not need tea and toast
We're ready! - We're ready!
They're ready!
Is the garment ready?
Yes it is ready
Yes I am ready
I lived my life
I'VE PAID MY DEBTS
I've paid my debts
I've paint them white
I've seen my dad
Smiling all over the sky
But I've seen my mum
I've seen mother
Crying all over the sea
LATINO AMERICA.
THE RICH GO BY IN FAT CARS
THE POOR ARE KEPT BEHIND BARS
THINGS GO BETTER WITH COCKE
STARVING INDIANS DIE CHEWING COCKE
THE PEOPLE SLEEP IN THE STREETS
THE PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING TO EAT
THE PEOPLE DANCE IN THE STREETS
THE PEOPLE MAKE LOVE IN THE STREETS
OH! LATINO AMERICA
LATINO AMERICA EXPLOTADA!
LATINO AMERICA SUBYUGADA!
PERO ALGUN DIA LLEGARA
LLEGARA
LA LIBERTAD LLEGARA
VENCERA
LA LIBERTAD VENCERA
OH! LATINO AMERICA
LEJOS DE MI
Tu mirada triste en el aeropuerto
Lágrimas de adiós en tus negros ojos
Recuerdos frescos en mi memoria
No puedo olvidar
Que estás lejos, lejos de mi
Te quiero aqui
La bella azafata sonríe sin fin
Los bellos paisajes que mis ojos ven
La comida exótica que gusto aqui
Que estás muy lejos, lejos de mi
Un padre que él nunca vio
Un domigo que baja, y baja asi
Palabras que sólo tiene sentido para mi
Te quiero aqui.
English translation: FAR AWAY FROM ME
Your sad look at the airport
Good bye tears from your dark eyes
Memories fresh inside of me
I cannot forget
That you are far, far away from me
I want you here.
The beautiful airline hostess
With her endless smile
The beautiful landscape I can see from here
The exotic food that I am tasting
You are far, far away from me
A father who he never saw
A domingo that goes down and down
Words that only make sense to me
I want you here.
LINDA GILDA
Linda Gilda donde estas gordita
Quiero tenerte aquí
Calentando mi helada cama
Papasar el invierno Inglés.

MADE OUT OF WOOD
Why
wasn't I made
out of wood
like Pinochio.
I
would have then married a sweet girl
made from a beautiful
rose tree.
In
our wedding we would have then invited
all the trees of the world
and little bushes as well
We
would have then happily dance for days
and days
to the whims of the wind
All
our children would have been so simple
and nice
until the end of time

MUMS MILK NOT POWDER
The babies of the world are crying
The babies of the world are crying
The babies of the world are crying
Mums Milk Not Powder!
Mums Milk Not Powder!
In this mad world
In this sick world
A black mam gives black milk
A pink mum gives pink milk
A yellow mother gives yellow milk
And a brown mama gives brown milk
I read in a German paper
In 1979
Mums Milk has twenty times
More poison than pure cow milk
More poison than pure cow milk
OUR SON
Our son
Has born
But I never
Ever heard
His cry
We'll have to pay
For the mistake we made
We'll have to pay
Some day
He will judges all
That day
I hope I'll be gone
Dead and gone
He will
Be my age
And perhaps
He will write a song
About his unknown dad
His unknown dad
That left him young

PAPAYAS
I sleep until midday
Everyday of the week.
My woma makes me happpy
Every hour of the day
And the sun warms my boddy
All the year year round
Mangos and papayas
All the year year round.
PART FOUR
Only a few more stitches to go
They are already knocking at the door
Shall I offer them tea 'n toast?
No! - No! - No!
Sing us a song
My soul won't be donated
My soul won't be given away
My heart will stay inside
Deep, deep inside
The sweetness of this song
Might drift them away from me
The sweetness of this song
Might not need tea 'n toast
We're ready! - We're ready! - They're ready!
Is the garment ready?
Yes it is ready
Yes I am ready
PEPPERMINT ARMPITS
At the coffee catwalk
Men oggle men oggling women
The coffee your're sipping
The whole thing is mind-boggling
Oggling those tantalising hips
Oggling those pouting lips
With a bunch of guys oggling you
You, you, you and you.
Skin-tight dresses
Making those thighs shine
Serving coffee
The whole day through
The men here are like coffee:
Strong, dark and hot.
Tall high-heels
Making your eyes hurt
Noisy high-heels
Making your heart pounce
Peppermint Armpits
Making those cups bounce, bounce
and bounce.
PERFECTION IS BORING
do your own thing -
even if full of mistakes
per-fec-tion
doesn't exist
it's boring to insist
per-fec-tion
doesn't exist
it's silly to insist
per-fec-tion
doesn't exist
it's stupid to insist
do your own thing -
even if full of mistakes
because perfection is boring
POCIONES DE AMOR
Las brujas me comieron el seso
Se tragaron mi voz y el queso
Esta canción no tiene
Son ni ton
¡Perdón!
Bésame, bésame mucho
Hasta hacer sangrar mis labios
Caperucita Roja te llaman
Tán tán
Sin hacer ni pio
Pociones de amor con pái de limón
Hechos por la bruja de lquique
Asi demuestras tu honor por él
Pociones de amor con pái de manzana
Hechos por la bruja de Konstanza
Asi demuestras tu honor por él
Asi demuestras...
Tu lealtad por él
Tu lealtad y honor por él
¡Brujas!
Las arpias me comieron el seso
Se tragaron mi voz y el queso
Esta canción no tiene
Pies ni cabeza
Devuélveme el rosario de mi madre
Que me estoy quedando sin adre
Y debo cuatro meses de arriendo
Tán tán
Sin hacer ni pio
English translation: LOVE POTIONS
The witches ate my brain
Swallowed my voice and the cheese as well
This song doesn't have any heads nor tails
I am sorry!
Kiss me, kiss me a lot
Making my lips bleed
Little Red Riding Hood call you
Hit. hit, hit
Without making a squeal
Love potions and lemon pie
Made by the witch of Iquique
That's the way you show your honour to him
Love potions and apple pie
Made by the witch of Konstanz
That's the way you show your honour to him
That's the way you show ...
Your faithfullness to him
Your faithfullness and honour to him
Witches!
The bitches ate my brain
Swallowed my voice and the cheese as well
This song doesn't have any sense at all
Give me back the holy rosary of my dear mother
That I don't have any air left
And owe four months rent
Hit, hit, hit
Without making a squeal
REPETITION KILLS

RIO RIO (Chilean folk song, unknown author)
¡Qué grande que viene el rio!
¡Qué grande se va a la mar!
Si lo aumenta el llanto mio
¡Cómo grande no ha de estar!
Rio rio
Devolvédme el amor mio
Que me canso de llorar
Si él escucha mis lamentos
Cómo triste no ha de estar
Qué triste susurra el viento
Parece ausencia llorar
Que me canso de llorar
English translation: RIVER MY RIVER
How strong the river flows!
How strong it goes into the sea!
I'm sure it is due to my tears
I'm sure it is due to my weep
River my river
Give me back my love
That I'm tired of crying
If the river hears my lament
No wonder he's so sad
How sad the wind blows
I can hear him weep
I'm so tired of crying.
RUBBER HAMMER
You walk proud n'tall
When you're young
Looking down to experience
When you're old.
They write about you
On the toilett walls
Amazing stories one would only dream off.
Some people say
You're the greatest thing on Earth
Some people think
You're the biggest Mortal Sin.

STRONG AS A BULL
They
Are all waiting
Waiting
For him to die
They
Are all waiting
Waiting to drink his blood
To eat his flesh
He
Doesn't have a chance
He
Is meant to die
In a sunny Spanish afternoon
Just
For fun and blood
He is meant to die
IF YOU WISH TO BE FIERCE AS A BULL
IF YOU WANT TO BE AS STRONG AS A BULL
DON'T EAT THE BULL
EAT WHAT THE BULL EATS
THE SUN
I tried to pick up a coin in the street
But it was so hot that burnt my hand,
Mr. Greedy burnt his hand, burnt this pocket
Burnt everything
THE BURNING SUN
THE BLINDING SUN
THE DRYING SUN
Even if I can cover the sun with my big toe
I still won't feel much cooler
The sun is water's worst enemy
I met La Niña
I met El Niño
And none of them I liked
THE BURNING HEAT
THE DRYING HEAT
THE BLINDING HEAT
I swop everything I've got:
I swop my room in Valparaiso!
I swop my seat on the plane!
I swop her huge beautiful black behind!
FOR THE UNCHANGEABLE
FOR THE UNCHANGEABLE
FOR THE UNCHANGEABLE
Metal Star that holds these walls together
Metal Star hold our family together
The same blood that runs through my system
The same blood runs through my veins
A WOUNDED FAMILY
A LOVELESS FAMILY
A BLOODLESS FAMILY
SWEET TOOTH.
WHEN I THINK I HAVE TO STAY
IN THIS COUNTRY FOR GOOD
BECAUSE I CANT GO BACK TO MY OWN
WHEN BOREDOM IS UP TO MY NOSE
AND APATHY IS A USELESS REPLY.
I LOOK AT THE PEOPLE
LISTEN TO THE MUSIC
DRY MY COAT ON THE RADIATOR
AND SIP MY TEETOTAL LEMONADE.
I DONT CRY
I DONT DISPAIR
I KNOW I LIVE INSIDE A "SWEET TOOTH"
ENGLAND HAD TOO MANY SWEETS
I THINK ENGLAND HAD IT TOO SWEET
I POSITELELY
POSITIVLY
POSITIVELY THINK
THAT ENGLAND HAD TOO MANY SWEETS.
BUT NEVER MIND
NEVER MIND
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET FALSE TEETH
MY DAD
MY DAD USE TO SAY
HE WAS A DENTIST OF COURSE
MY DAD USE TO SAY
FALSE TEETH ARE AS GOOD AS REAL.
THEY DONT LIKE YOU AT HOME
I have to see you in dark streets
Because my dad says
You're no good for me
And my mum says
We're too young to know
They tell me to finish with you
But I will never leave you
Because I love you love you
Like I never did before
Like I never did before
THREE TREES

TIO VICTOR'S SQUEAKY SHOES
Vitoquito donde estas?
Junto con mi Mamita.
Who's got six months of days a year
And six months of nites?
The Skimos in Greenland
The Skimos in Greenland
It's their very own right.
Where are the most bore-stiff housewives
In the world?
In Thamesmead,
In Thamesmead
Deep in London South East.
And who says soft shoes are hard to loose
Are hard to loose.
Tio Victor
Tio Victor
Tio Victor
He's got a pair of funny Squeaky Shoes
Who can untangle a word jungle
in 60 seconds flat?
Mrs. Silly Ward
Who keeps a smelly dog
In her Peckham flat.
Why do people speak
With their mouths full?
To make everyone believe
They are telling the truth

WENCH
Mucho macho men say:
Juanita is ugly
Juanita is silly
But Juanita can cook very well
Oh! Yes
Juanita can cook very well indeed
Non-existant to James Bond
Overlooked by Valentino
A mere albatroz for ALVARO
A waste of sperm for Casanova
WENCH
Forgotten by romantic poets
WENCH
The world smells your feet
She's not a silly Queen
nor an elegant Lady
She's not a supper goddess
Let alone the Bionic Woman
WENCH I LOVE YOU

She can be as understanding
As a singing bird
As lovingly as a mountain stream
As simple as Sunlight soap

UN HOMBRE HA CAMINADO
SU SENDA BUSCANDO
VANAMENTE EL ANCLA DE SU VIDA.
EN SU PASO ENCONTRO GENTE
QUE ACERO SU CARNE Y SU MENTE
GENTE, CORTANTE, CORTANTE
E INDIFERENTE.
POR AHI
CERCA
DE LA QUEBRA AJI
CONOCI
LA INDIEFERENCIA
QUE EN CHILE LIBRE
NUNCA VI.
OTRO HOMBRE HA CAMINADO
SU SENDA BUSCANDO VANAMENTE
EL ANCLA DE SU VIDA.
CAMINAR Y CAMINAR Y NO SABER
DONDE LLEGAR
CAMINAR POR LAS CALLES Y NO TENER
DONDE LLEGAR
CAMINAR - CAMINAR - CAMINAR.
THE WORKING CLASS
The working class are as much to blame as the bosses. The working class is as
greedy as the bosses. The working class dont give a fig about nobody else but
themselves. The working class only wants more money. Money, money, money. They
only want more money. And how many people have died in the name of the working
class I ask? And how many people have been tortured in the name of the working
class I ask again? Working class you are the dildo of the intellectuals.
And I dont wanto be rude because being rude is not in my nature, but I know, I'm
talking like this because I know. Because I've lost bloody everything in the name
of the working class. My nationality to start with, my family, my identity, my
job, my virginity (No not my virginity) but anyhow, I've lost bloody everything
in the name of the working class. All these years I've been in Civilizes White
Europe. Drinkin My Own Sperm or Mums Milk Not Powder. All this because I had to
cope you see, all this because I thought I was fighting for a good cause you see,
the, the, the, the, Blood of Jesus, The Light of Krsna. Working class, the
working class and Karls Mrxs, all nicely put together.
WOULD YOU MARRY AN ENGLISH GIRL?
I know how much you love me
But I can't take your childish behaviour
No, No, No, No,
I cannot take it anymore.
I don't wanto go on
Being your mother
I'm sorry I had to say this to you
But that's the way I feel,
I feel about you
It's best for me to go
I'm sorry I couldn't love you
The way you wanted me to
Yeha, Yeha, Yeha, Yeha,
It's best for me to go
Irme the ti
For me to go
