Este es el blues de la notoriedad
This is the blues of notoriety
La fama es una puta cualquiera
Fame is a whore, anyone can see
Con tal de ser una celebridad
Just to be a celebrity
Le venden a una araña escaleras
They sell a spider some ladders, you see
Toman pastillas para mentir
They take pills to deceive
Se gastan lo que no hay en fachadas
They spend what they don't have on façades
Cuando conviene saben sufrir
When it suits them, they know how to grieve
Haz drama y te darán la portada
Create drama and they'll give you the spotlight
Selva de sueños de celebridad
Jungle of dreams of celebrity
El arte se muere del hambre (Uh, uh, uh)
Art is starving to death (Uh, uh, uh)
Risas postizas, mentiras, verdad
Fake laughs, lies, truth
Alfombras teñidas de sangre
Carpets stained with blood
Un financiero será el director
A banker will be the director
Y quien decidirá el repertorio
And who will decide the repertoire
Un peluquero será el productor
A hairstylist will be the producer
La magia organiza un velorio
Magic organizes a wake
Este es el blues de la notoriedad
This is the blues of notoriety
Estás solo, salís en la foto
You're alone, you appear in the photo
Feria de excesos, concurso antiedad
Fair of excess, anti-aging contest
Payasos que vuelan en motos
Clowns flying on motorcycles
Cuando conviene, se vale llorar
When it suits, it's okay to cry
El raiting te lo agradecerá
The ratings will thank you
Yeh-eh, oh-oh
(Uh-uh-uh) Yeh-eh-eh
Uoh-oh-oh, eh-eh-eh
Plan de mercado, lanzamiento mundial
Market plan, global launch
La radio, ya está todo listo (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The radio, everything is ready (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Compren los views y la red social
Buy the views and the social media
Después escuchamos el disco
We'll listen to the album later
Entrega de premios, nada para el autor
Award ceremony, nothing for the author
Sonríe y te darán una beca
Smile and they'll give you a scholarship
Vicia al cabildeo y sé un seductor
Charm the lobbying and be a seducer
Y ellos llenarán tu egoteca
And they'll fill up your ego
Este es el blues de la notoriedad
This is the blues of notoriety
Estás solo, salís en la foto
You're alone, you show up in the picture
Feria de excesos, concurso antiedad
Fair of excess, anti-aging contest
Payasos que vuelan en motos
Clowns flying on motorcycles
Cuando conviene, se vale llorar
When it's convenient, it's okay to cry
El raiting te lo agradecerá
The ratings will appreciate it
(Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) Llora
(Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) Cry
