  1. El ser un animal nocturno era una bella rutina

    Being a nocturnal animal was a beautiful routine

  2. Conquistar a chicas del Jet-Set o a mujerzuelas de esquina

    Winning over Jet-Set girls or corner prostitutes

  3. Y es que no son la misma cosa

    And they're not the same thing

  4. Con diferencia de precio

    With a difference in price

  5. Entrar a algún bar sin conocer ni que me conozcan

    Entering a bar without knowing anyone or being known

  6. Entonar una canción y esperar el trago de cortesía

    Singing a song and waiting for a courtesy drink

  7. Que siempre venia

    That always came

  8. Era mi filosofía

    It was my philosophy

  9. Hasta que un productor según el me hizo el favor

    Until a producer, according to him, did me a favor

  10. De grabarme un disco

    By recording an album for me

  11. Y metió la inspiración en una computadora

    And he put the inspiration in a computer

  12. Y aquel fuego de libertad, en refrigeradora

    And that fire of freedom, in the refrigerator

  13. Me dijeron quítate esos jeans y esa camisa vaquera

    They told me to take off those jeans and that denim shirt

  14. Tendremos que cambiarte de look pues ese nadie lo aprueba

    We'll have to change your look because nobody approves of that

  15. Tendrás imagen nueva

    You'll have a new image

  16. Y una prospera carrera

    And a prosperous career

  17. Luciendo siempre cara de mascota recién comprada

    Always looking like a freshly bought pet

  18. Salí en la tele con cierto dejo de tristeza en la mirada

    I appeared on TV with a hint of sadness in my gaze

  19. Y el alma enfadada

    And the soul upset

  20. De cantar sin decir nada

    From singing without saying anything

  21. Me canse de los representantes y cocteles de moda

    I'm tired of representatives and trendy cocktails

  22. Me canse de toda esa gente que dice que te adora

    I'm tired of all those people who say they adore you

  23. Das la espalda y te ignora

    You turn your back and they ignore you

  24. Me harté de no ser el mismo

    I'm fed up with not being myself

  25. Me compré unos cuantos amigos una novia y un perro

    I bought myself a few friends, a girlfriend, and a dog

  26. Los amigos y la novia se fueron

    The friends and the girlfriend left

  27. Solo me quedo el perro que no tiene prejuicios

    Only the dog remains, who has no prejudices

  28. Y me acepta como soy

    And accepts me as I am

  29. Por eso vine a este bar y aquí me pagan diez mil pesos la hora

    That's why I came to this bar and they pay me ten thousand pesos an hour

  30. Tengo un cuarto con balcón y hasta una chica que me adora

    I have a room with a balcony and even a girl who adores me

  31. Y es tanta mi fe, que aunque no tengo jardín

    And my faith is so strong, that even though I don't have a garden

  32. Ya compré una podadora

    I've already bought a lawnmower

  33. Y es tanta mi fe que aunque no tengo jardín

    And my faith is so strong that even though I don't have a garden

  34. Ya compré una podadora

    I've already bought a lawnmower
