The Lyrics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Anthem_of_Peru
Somos gripes, serrémoslo siempre, serrémoslo siempre.
Jamás termina la tos, es la tos, es la tos infernal,
Que faltamos al trabajo siempre
Porque la temperatura se elevó,
Que faltamos al trabajo siempre
Porque la temperatura se elevó,
Que faltamos al trabajo siempre
Porque la temperatura se elevó.

Largo tiempo al peruano el resfrío
La afectada cabeza molestó.
Condenado con cruel certidumbre
Estar tupidos, estar tupidos, estar tupidos la nariz y el pulmón.
Además la gripe ha complicado –
¡Salud! en todos partes se oyó –
Con la bronquitis y el asma aguda,
El estornudo, el estornudo, el estornudo la nariz inflamó
El estornudo la nariz inflamó
Nariz inflamó...

Somos gripes, serrémoslo siempre, serrémoslo siempre.
Jamás termina la tos, es la tos, es la tos infernal,
Que faltamos al trabajo siempre
Porque la temperatura se elevó,
Que faltamos al trabajo siempre
Porque la temperatura se elevó,
Que faltamos al trabajo siempre
Porque la temperatura se elevó.

The parody translates something like this: We're the flu, and we will always be. The infernal cough will never end, which makes us miss work because of a fever.

For a long time the Peruvian has been bothered by a head cold, condemned with cruel certainty to a congested nose and lungs. Moreover the flu is compounded -- "Salud!" (the Spanish version of "bless you" or "gesundheit") is heard everywhere -- with bronchitis and acute asthma, and the sneeze inflames the nose.
