Brenda amada en el navio
Beloved Brenda on the ship
Me de he embarcar
I’m about to board
Siento que no os aventuréis a navegar.
I feel you shouldn't venture to sail.
Mañana a las ocho en Metro Chapultepec
Tomorrow at eight at Chapultepec Metro
Pamba china y beso pipo al que no esté
Chinese fan and kiss to whoever's not here
Adiós, Rogelio, quédate
Goodbye, Rogelio, stay
A los enunciados copiar
To copy the statements
Teolor, repórtate, la banca calienta
Teolor, check in, the bench is warming up
Manifiestos y discursos, no me podría expresar
Manifestos and speeches, I couldn't express myself
Camarada, Naif, en las bardas me voy a plasmar
Comrade, Naif, I'm going to capture it on the walls
Si quieres en casa puedes quedarte a teorizar
If you want, you can stay home and theorize
A tu edad no puedes ayudar y es mejor no estorbar
At your age, you can't help, and it's better not to get in the way
Y te lo digo a este ritmo pa' que puedas entender
And I'm telling you this at this rhythm so you can understand
Me voy en la pinta, me voy de pinta y me voy a pintar
I'm off to the party, I'm going to sneak out and I'm going to paint
