The Tigers Have Spoken

They shot the tiger on his chain
In a field behind the cages
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
And he lived that way forever
And he lived that way beside them
Separate from the other tigers
He did not know another tiger

They shot the tiger on his chain
In a field behind the cages
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
And he lived that way forever
And he lived that way forever
Just as long as he could remember
If he'd wanted to remember
It was the last time he had felt alive
When he saw that brown-haired lady
She fed him with a bottle as a baby
And he recalled her face and smile
They shot that tiger on his chain

They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain

Los tigres han hablado

Dispararon a la cadena del tigre
En un campo detrás de las jaulas
Caminó en círculos hasta volverse loco
Y siempre vivió de esa forma
Y vivió de esa forma a su lado
Separado de los otros tigres
No conocía a otro tigre

Dispararon a la cadena del tigre
En un campo detrás de las jaulas
Caminó en círculos hasta volverse loco
Y siempre vivió de esa forma
Y siempre vivió de esa forma
Desde siempre que pudiera recordar
Si hubiese querido recordar
Fue la última vez que se sintió vivo
Cuando vio a la mujer del pelo castaño
Ella le alimentaba con un biberón cuando era un bebé
Y él recordaba su cara y su sonrisa
Dispararon a aquel tigre en la cadena

Dispararon a la cadena del tigre
Dispararon a la cadena del tigre
Dispararon a la cadena del tigre
Dispararon a la cadena del tigre
