Translation of the song El inspector artist Leo Masliah

Dale tu boleto al inspector,

Give your ticket to the collector,

tenelo pronto, antes que te lo pida,

have it ready, before he asks for it,

no lo hagas esperar,

don't make him wait,

dáselo para que vea que sos una persona de bien.

give it so he can see that you're a good person.

Dale tu boleto al inspector,

Give your ticket to the collector,

desenrrollalo, que quede presentable.

unroll it, let it be presentable.

Pero de repente el inspector,

But suddenly the collector,

con una pinza perforadora de boletos

with a ticket hole puncher

de esas que se usan en los trenes,

of those that are used on the trains,

te va a decir ¿no sera que usted se quiso colar

will say to you, Could it be that you wanted to sneak in

y como al final alguien lo caló tuvo que pagar...?

and at the end as somebody knew it you had to pay...?

Pero vos sabes que no es así,

But you know that it isn't true,

tranquilizate, el inspector es bueno,

calm down, the collector is a good man

solo quiere recortar un pedazo del boleto

he just want to punch a hole in the ticket

(y dicen que con eso se alimenta).

(and they said that he gets fed with that).

Un poquito a cada uno no hace mal a ninguno.

A bit to each one doesn't harm anybody.

Es una especie de mendigo obligatorio;

It's some kind of mandatory beggar;

y paternal, por que cuando le entregas,

and paternal, because when you give,

con toda tu humildá el boleto,

with all your humbleness the ticket to him,

te acaricia y te dice

he caresses you and says

gracias nene, colaboraste bien con mi noble tarea.

thank you boy, you collaborated well with my noble task.

Si vos no tenes boleto

If you don't have a ticket

no pueden cortarle un pedazo al boleto;

they can't punch a hole in the ticket;

entonces le cortan un pedazo al guarda.

so they punch a hole to the guard.
