Pará de interrumpir, eh
Stop interrupting, eh
Estupidez con las manos, bardo con los pies
Stupidity with the hands, chaos with the feet
Altos y enanos, visten con la misma piel
Tall and short, dressed in the same skin
Arengador suburbano, dijo: "tente fe"
Suburban rallying cry, he said: 'have faith'
Creí que era hermano, pero siempre desconfié
I thought he was a brother, but I always distrusted
Porque yo soy un indeciso
Because I am indecisive
La verda' es que nunca supe bien qué hacer
The truth is I never really knew what to do
Estoy hasta las manos, pero sin dormir
I'm in over my head, but without sleep
La parca empuja, pero no voy a seguir
The reaper pushes, but I'm not going to continue
Arengador suburbano ya vete de aquí
Suburban rallying cry, just get out of here
Si me margino, me margino porque sí
If I isolate myself, I isolate myself just because
Porque yo soy un indeciso
Because I am so indecisive
La verda' es que nunca supe bien qué hacer
The truth is I never really knew what to do
No pienses que estoy loco
Don't think that I'm crazy
Es solo una manera de actuar
It's just a way to act
No pienses que estoy solo
Don't think that I'm alone
Estoy comunicado con todo lo demá'
I'm in touch with everything else
Te siguen hasta los perros, pero sin morder
Even the dogs follow you, but without biting
Me das los hongos, pero no voy a comer
You give me the mushrooms, but I'm not gonna eat
Arengador suburbano dijo: "tente fe", ¡au!
Suburban motivator said: 'have faith', oh!
Porque yo soy un indeciso
Because I am indecisive
La verda' es que nunca supe bien qué hacer
The truth is I never really knew what to do
Ah
Ah
Estupidez con las manos, bardo con los pies
Foolishness with my hands, chaos with my feet
Altos y enanos visten con la misma piel
Tall and short dress in the same skin
Arengador suburbano dijo: "tente fe"
A suburban cheerleader said: 'have faith'
Creí que era hermano pero siempre desconfié
I thought he was a brother but I always distrusted
Porque yo soy un indeciso
Because I am indecisive
La verda' es que nunca supe bien qué hacer
The truth is I never really knew what to do
Porque yo soy un indeciso
Because I am indecisive
La verda' es que no supe bien qué hacer
The truth is I didn't really know what to do
Supe bien qué hacer
I knew exactly what to do
Supe bien qué hacer, ¡yeah, yeah, yeah!
I knew exactly what to do, yeah, yeah, yeah!
