Ya lo ves yo te decía
You see, I was telling you
En aquella melodía
In that melody
No juzgues sin pensar
Don't judge without thinking
No quites si no tienes para dar
Don't take away if you have nothing to give
Y el ladrón y policía
And the thief and the police
De mi maldita pesadilla
From my damn nightmare
Tratando de robar
Trying to steal
Me tratan de matar mi libertad
They're trying to kill my freedom
Y yo
And me
Y yo
And me
Yo ya no quiero esconderme mas
I no longer want to hide anymore
Ni fumar sueños detrás de mamá
Nor smoke dreams behind mom
Ya no nos dejan ni
They don't even let us
Bailar en paz
Dance in peace
Aquella bella danza sexual
That beautiful sexual dance
Ahora soy un pordiosero
Now I am a beggar
Mendigando en basureros
Mobbing in the dumpsters
Pidiendo perdón
Begging for forgiveness
Al que murió por vos
To the one who died for you
Y por mi
And for me
Ya lo ves yo te decía
You see, I was telling you
En aquella melodía
In that melody
No juzgues sin pensar, no
Don't judge without thinking, no
Quites si no tienes para dar
Take away if you have nothing to give
Y yo
And I
Y yo
And I
Yo ya no quiero esconderme mas
I don't want to hide anymore
Ni fumar sueños detrás de mamá
Nor smoke dreams behind mom
Ya no nos dejan ni
They won't even let us
Bailar en paz
Dance in peace
Aquella bella danza sexual
That beautiful sexual dance
Y yo
And I
Y yo
And I
Yo ya no quiero esconderme mas
I no longer want to hide anymore
Ni fumar suenos detras de mama
Nor smoke dreams behind mama
Ya no nos fejan ni
They don't even let us
Bailar en paz
Dance in peace
Aquella bella danza sexual
That beautiful sexual dance
Sexual
