Están pasando demasiadas cosas raras
Too many strange things are happening
Para que todo pueda seguir tan normal
For everything to keep going on as normal
Desconfío de tu cara de informado
I mistrust your knowing expression
Y de tu instinto de supervivencia
And your survival instinct
Hace tiempo que no leo ni veo nada
It's been a while since I've read or seen anything
Porque me ofende que todo esté tan mal
Because it offends me that everything is so wrong
Y hasta las personas lindas me dan rabia
And even the beautiful people make me angry
Y los chicos y las chicas no hacen nada por cambiar
And the boys and girls do nothing to change it
Porque algún día se va a abrir esta trampa mortal
Because one day this death trap will open up
Pero hasta entonces llevarás en tu cara una sombra
But until then you'll carry a shadow on your face
Y no presumas más de ser un humano normal
And don't brag anymore about being a normal human
Y no te hagas más el gil, que el defecto te nombra
And don't play the fool any longer, the flaw defines you
Y yo te digo
And I tell you
¡Ey, bancate ese defecto!
Hey, own that flaw!
No es culpa tuya si la nariz no hace juego en tu cara
It's not your fault if your nose doesn't match your face
Y yo te digo
And I tell you
¡Ey, bancate ese defecto!
Hey, own that flaw!
Aunque te arregles las gomas, nena, seguirás siendo rara
Even if you fix your tires, baby, you'll still be unique
Rara, rara
Unique, unique
Cag-los
Screw 'em
¡Ah, pri-pri-pri!
Ah, pri-pri-pri!
Mutilado, desnutrido, deformado
Mutilated, malnourished, deformed
Ojo de vidrio, muestra tu cicatriz
Glass eye, show your scar
Marineros, maricones, embolsados
Sailors, faggots, bagged up
Bailen la danza de la inteligencia
Dance the dance of intelligence
Están pasando demasiadas cosas raras
Too many strange things are happening
Para que todo pueda seguir tan normal
For everything to keep going on so normal
Todo el mundo lo conoce por la cara
Everyone knows him by his face
Todo el mundo se da cuenta por la forma de bailar
Everyone notices by the way he dances
¡Ah!
Ah!
¡Ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah!
¡Sabor!
Flavor!
¡Pri-pri-pri!
Pri-pri-pri!
Y yo te digo
And I tell you
¡Ey, bancate ese defecto!
Hey, just embrace that flaw!
No es culpa tuya si la nariz no hace juego en tu cara
It's not your fault if your nose doesn't match your face
Y yo te digo
And I tell you
¡Ey, bancate ese defecto!
Hey, just embrace that flaw!
Aunque te arregles las gomas, nena, seguirás siendo rara
Even if you fix your tires, girl, you'll still be unique
Rara, rara, rara
Unique, unique, unique
Rara, rara, rara
Strange, strange, strange
