Somos los mejores amigos
We are the best of friends
porque yo no tengo nada contigo
because I have nothing with you
sólo la risa y todo lo que nos pasa
just laughter and everything that happens to us
Ellos nos siguen en casa
They follow us home
nos controlan la más mínima cosa
they control the tiniest things
y siempre dicen: "¡qué juventud mentirosa!"
and they always say: 'what a lying youth!'
Y somos de hoy, somos de hoy
And we are of today, we are of today
hemos nacido distintos; yo no sé lo que soy
we were born different; I don't know what I am
yo soy de hoy y les parezco distante
I am of today and seem distant to them
Yo no quiero casarme sin saber con quién
I don't want to get married without knowing with whom
yo no quiero llegar a "niño bien"
I don't want to be a 'good boy'
tú tampoco, no estamos tan locos
neither do you, we're not that crazy
somos de hoy
we're of today
Y piensan que me drogo cuando soy feliz
And they think I'm on drugs when I'm happy
no saben que es normal estar así
they don't know it's normal to feel this way
se han olvidado que estar relajados
they've forgotten that being relaxed
es ser de hoy
is being of today
Ellos fueron jovenes antes y no se
They were young once and they don't
acuerdan que metieron la pata y eso
remember that they messed up and that
les mata, como les cambia la plata
kills them, like money changes them
Diles que nos dejen tranquilos
Tell them to leave us in peace
que algún día ganarás más de un kilo
that one day you'll earn more than a kilo
y mientras tanto, que te respeten tu estilo
and in the meantime, let them respect your style
Y somos de hoy, somos de hoy, somos
And we are of today, we are of today, we are
todos del aire, que nos dejen en paz
all from the air, let them leave us in peace
es la verdad, no nos metemos con nadie
it's the truth, we don't mess with anyone
Y somos de hoy, somos de hoy, somos
And we are of today, we are of today, we are
todos del aire, que nos dejen en paz
all from the air, let them leave us in peace
es la verdad, no nos metemos con nadie
it's the truth, we don't mess with anyone
No quiero trabajar para sobrevivir
I don't want to work to survive
no puedo estar incómodo y mentir
I can't be uncomfortable and lie
tú tampoco, no estamos tan locos
neither can you, we're not that crazy
somos de hoy
we are of today
Y ven complicaciones donde no las hay
And they see complications where there are none
y piensan que la vida es un spray
and they think life is a spray
se han olvidado que estar relajados
they've forgotten that being relaxed
es ser de hoy, es ser de hoy, somos
is being of today, is being of today, we are
de hoy, somos de hoy
of today, we are of today
