Manu Chao – Bixo

"Bixo" as written by Rogelio Velez and Jose Manuel N Chao....
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo
Cuando a cabeza fode
Hasta ya reventar
Cuando a cabeza fode
O bixo vai pegar

O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
Bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo

Cuando a cabeza fode
Hasta ya reventar
Cuando a cabeza fode
O bixo vai pegar

Bixo do coco mandome matar
Bixo do coco mandome a cadea
Bixo do coco quito libertad
Bixo do coco deixome aquelado
Bixo do coco, bixo do coco

O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
Bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo

    General CommentBeeeep!
    Close. It's 'gallego', from the north west. It has some similarities with Portuguese. Manu's father is from there.

    General CommentI don't speak Galego (although everyone calls me "Galego", but that's a different story), but it's close enough to Portuguese. (And I'm not sure that this is Galego - I think it's more likely a mixture of French, Spanish, and Portuguese.) Mr. Chao further complicates things by peppering his lyrics with regional slang terms. The lyrics are, more or less:

    The coconut bug entered my house
    And my head started to shake
    The coconut bug entered my house
    And took with it all my illusions
    Took with it all the "cartos", took with it my wife
    It left torment, nothing to eat
    The coconut bug entered my house
    Looked me in the eyes, and the gentle one spoke
    When the head gets fucked up
    Until it's already exploding
    When the head gets fucked up
    The bug comes and gets it

    The coconut bug entered my house
    And my head started to shake
    The coconut bug entered my house
    And took with it all my illusions
    Took with it all the "cartos", took with it my wife
    It left torment, nothing to eat
    The coconut bug entered my house
    Looked me in the eyes, and the gentle one spoke

    When the head gets fucked up
    Until it's already exploding
    When the head gets fucked up
    The bug comes and gets it

    Coconut bug sent me to kill
    Coconut bug sent me to prison
    Coconut bug cancelled/compromised liberty
    Coconute bug left "maquelado"

    The coconut bug entered my house
    And took with it all my illusions
    Took with it all the "cartos", took with it my wife
    It left torment, nothing to eat
    The coconut bug entered my house
    Looked me in the eyes, and the gentle one spoke

    General CommentI read somewhere that Bixo de coco also means The Sandman. Have no idea, but it makes sense in context
