Allá es gordo acá la panza la rellena el algodón
Cuando no está repleta de alcohol
Y la bolsa de regalos no es coqueta
Acá la bolsa es de arpillera
Y sale a trabajar para poder bancar
A su familia entera
Y de hambre lo quieren matar
Pero igual se las ingenia
Papá Noel sudamericano
No te cagás de calor
Papá Noel sudamericano
Cuando allá es invierno acá es verano
Y llega a casa cansado y prende el televisor
Y ve al otro descansando
Y se agarra la cabeza y no encuentra explicación
Porque acá todo va peor
Igual va a encontrar algo que regalar
De su bolsa de arpillera
Y aunque al del cine no sea igual
Es el Papá Noel de acá
Papá Noel sudamericano
No te cagás de calor
Papá Noel sudamericano
Cuando allá es invierno acá es verano
Santa Claus (English translation by k-in-sc)
He's fat there, here his belly is padded with cotton
When it's not full of alcohol
And his bag of presents isn't pretty
Here it's just a gunnysack
He goes to work so he can support
His whole family
They could die of hunger any day
But they get by anyway
South American Santa Claus
Isn't the heat getting to you
South American Santa Claus
When it's winter there, it's summer here
He gets home from work tired and turns on the TV
And sees the other one relaxing
He holds his head, he can't understand
Why everything is worse here
Still, he'll find some presents to give
In his burlap sack
And even though he's not like the one in the movies
He's the Santa Claus we have here
