Rica
It’s four in the morning and I’m layin’ with my head against the toilet seat
– Ta 4 or di mainta i mi ta para ku mi kabes kontra e asiento di e wc
For several days now I’ve been livin’ here, too tired to sleep, too sick to eat
– Mi a biba aki pa varios dia kaba, muchu kansá pa drumi, muchu malu pa kome.
I feel like a monster and it doesn’t help that you will treat me like I’ve got the venom in my teeth
– Mi ta sinti mi manera un monstruo i no ta yuda bo trata mi manera si mi tabatin veneno den mi djentenan.
‘Cause I’m the spider in your bathroom
– Pasobra ami ta e spider den bo baño
I’m the shadow on the tile
– Mi ta e sombra riba e ladriljo
I came for shelter from the cold
– Mi a bini pa refugia mi mes for di friu
And I’d thought I’d stay a while
– I mi a pensa ku lo mi keda un tempu
I’m only small, I’m only weak
– Mi ta chikitu so, mi ta débil so
And you jump at the sight of me
– I bo ta saltá ora bo mira mi
You’ll kill me when I least expect it
– Bo ta mata mi si mi no warda
God, how could I even think of daring to exist?
– Dios, kon mi por pensa riba e balor di eksistí?
Looking just like this, I’m hideous
– Mi ta parse asina, mi ta horibel
I’m nothing but legs, they used to say
– Mi ta solamente pianan, nan tabata bisa
I’m nothing but skin and bones these days
– Mi ta solamente kurpa i ousanan e dianan aki
You dangle me high over the drain and tell me I’m lucky you don’t drop me there and
– Bo ta hangami haltu riba e kanal i bo ta bisa mi ku mi tin suerte ku bo no laga mi kai einan i
Let me wash away
– Laga mi laba mi mes
Or put me on display
– Of pone mi na exhibicion
By trapping me forever between a glass and a dinner plate
– Trapa mi pa semper entre un glas i un plato di kuminda
‘Cause I’m the spider in your kitchen weaving webs through every year
– Pasobra mi ta e spider den bo kushina ta traha tela di spider tur aña
And I worked real hard on the last one but the last one got me here
– I mi a traha hopi duru riba e último, pero e último a trese mi aki.
I’m minding my own business but my presence makes you curse
– Mi ta trata mi mes asuntunan, pero mi presensia ta hasi bo maldishoná
I should be getting better but I’m only getting worse
– Mi mester ta mehorando, pero mi ta empeorando
And, God, how dare I even think of choosing here to die?
– I Dios, kon Mi por a pensa asta riba skohe pa muri aki?
‘Cause then I’m just a problem that you have to take outside
– Pasobra e ora ei mi ta solamente un problema ku bo mester saka pafó
And I know you hate the sight of me, I haunt you when you’re fast asleep
– I mi sa ku bo ta odia mira mi, mi ta persiguí bo ora bo ta drumi profundo
I’ve got eight legs, a million eyes, if only I had eight more lives
– Mi tin ocho pianan, un miyon wowo, si mi tabatin solamente ocho bida mas
‘Cause I’m a spider on the ceiling and you’re nothing but a guy
– Pasobra mi ta un spider riba dak i bo ta solamente un mucha hòmber
You don’t like it when I cry, you would break me if you tried
– Bo no ta gusta ora mi yora, bo ta kibra mi si bo purba
And you will because I dared to be alive
– I lo bo hasié pasobra mi a atrevé mi mes pa ta na bida
