Ayyyy
Que hombre que maneja el aparato
cuando voltié lo tenia arriba
es una luz

Algun tiempo me dejo inmovil
solo me quedo el zumbido
de la luz

Lo escuchaba en cabeza
en lengua extraña me hablaba
pero entendí

Lo juro que no habia tomado
solo estaba encandilado
la hora perdí

Ay yo se que vendra por mi aay
y me llevara a un jardin aayy

Ayyyy
cuando me encontre con pablo
fue que me conto esta historia
no le crei

Eso fue algunos meses
desde entonces que no lo vemos
mas por aqui

Ya no se ni que pensar
desde que llego una carta
del hospital

pablo tiene quemaduras
y ceguera permanente
no quiere hablar

Ay yo se que vendra por mi aay
y me llevara a un jardin aayy

Ay yo se que vendra por mi
y me llevara a un jardin aayy

TRANSLATION:

Ayyyy
What man drives the device(*)
when I turned I had it over me
it is a light

Some time it left me paralyzed
I only had left the buzzing
of the light

I heard it in my head
in some strange tongue it talked to me
but I understood

I swear I hadn’t been drinking
I was only flashed**
the hour I lost

Ay, I know it will come for me aay
and it will take me to a garden aayy

Ayyyy
When I met with Pablo
it was when he told me this story
I didn’t believe him

That was some months ago
since then we haven’s seen him
around here anymore

I don’t know what to think
since a letter came
from the hospital

Pablo has burns
and permanent blindness
He won’t speak

Ay, I know it will come for me aay
and it will take me to a garden aayy

Ay, I know it will come for me aay
and it will take me to a garden aayy

*: strict translation of ‘aparato’ is ‘apparatus’, but I think ‘device’ woks better
**:’encandilado’ means ‘disoriented by the light’.

Thanks for your link too! The group seems a little more electronica than P5 (I have 3 or 4 CDs of theirs.)

Since I’m a DEVO and Jpop fan, I’m also a huge geek on the POLYSICS (always spelled in capitals.) See one of their best here.

We saw them recently on tour when we were in Tucson, there’s a short clip of the show I took up at my flickr page.

That song kicks ass. My Spanish isn’t up to getting it all, but I got most of it. Thanks for the new music!

Your Flying Saucer Music collection would never be complete, without adding to it ‘El Aparato’, by the Mexican group Café Tacuba (who will celebrate it’s 20th anniversary this year).

What I love about that song not only is the music and beautiful lyrics, but also that it tells the story of an Abduction, very much in the vein of the famous ‘Chupa’ incidents of Brazil in the 60s and 70s—i.e. a UFO that causes severe burns and even blindness to the experiencer). I really don’t know what was the inspiration for this particular song, though; but it’s Fortean tone is patently clear.

Here they are performing that song on MTV Unplugged. Hope you enjoy it
