Yo soy el outsider
I am the outsider
Yo soy el sidestepper
I am the sidestepper
Misfit con causa
Misfit with a cause
Ya te he topado
I've already crossed paths with you
Y no tienes igual
And you have no equal
Te he visto por ahí
I've seen you around
Pateando las reglas
Kicking the rules
Andando veredas
Walking backroads
Mejor que caminos
Better than highways
Que andados ya están
That have already been traveled
Será triste la vida
Life will be sad
Para los demás
For others
Alegre és la que existe
Happy is the one that exists
De abrir las puertas
To open the doors
Reirse en la jeta de quien
Laughing in the face of those who
Nos tiene encerrados
Keep us locked up
Asi el outsider
So the outsider
Asi el sidestepper
So the sidestepper
Nunca tendrá nada
Will never have anything
Ni necesidad
Nor any need
Se tiene a si mismo
He has himself
Por eso mi amigo
That's why, my friend
Si encuentras a otros
If you find others
Que cambies a otros
That you change others
Diles que el fuego quemando va
Tell them the fire keeps burning
No atiendo a la escuela
I don't pay attention to school
No tengo patrones
I have no patterns
No acepto impuestos
I don't accept taxes
Buscaban al caos
They were searching for chaos
Pues hallaron al caos
Well, they found chaos
Asi el outsider
That's how the outsider
Asi el sidestepper
That's how the sidestepper
Nunca tendrá nada
Will never have anything
Ni necesidad
Nor a need
Se tiene a si mismo
They have themselves
Por eso mi amigo
That's why my friend
Si encuentras a otros
If you find others
Que cambies a otros
Who change others
Diles que el fuego quemando va
Tell them the fire keeps burning
No atiendo a la escuela
I don't attend school
No tengo patrones
I have no patterns
No acepto impuestos
I don't accept taxes
Usaron al caos
They used chaos
Pues de regreso va el caos
For chaos is coming back
No muero por credos
I don't die for beliefs
Ni marcas, ni patrias
Neither brands, nor homelands
Defiendo a la vida
I defend life
Respeto a quien se da a respetar
I respect those who command respect
No creo en abogados
I don't believe in lawyers
No creo en doctores
I don't believe in doctors
No creo en los medios
I don't believe in the media
Ni en lo que venden
Nor in what they sell
Se ve ya la fecha de caducidad
The expiration date is already clear
Yo soy el outsider
I am the outsider
Yo soy el sidestepper
I am the sidestepper
Yo soy el outsider
I am the outsider
Yo soy el sidestepper
I am the sidestepper
Yo soy el outsider
I am the outsider
Yo soy el sidestepper
I am the sidestepper
De cierto hermanito
For sure, little brother
Que es un buen momento
It's a good moment
De vuelta a lo simple
Back to the simple
Si buscas lo simple
If you seek the simple
Simple y claro acá está
Simple and clear, here it is
