Con un saco de Versace
With a Versace bag
Y un Cartier en la muñeca
And a Cartier on the wrist
Con un Mercedes del año
With a Mercedes from the year
Regalos de papi y mami
Gifts from daddy and mommy
Con Boucheron en el cuello
With Boucheron around the neck
Y unos Carrera en los ojos
And Carrera in the eyes
Con un jeans de Valentino
With Valentino jeans
Él es un promo ambulante
He's a roaming promo
Bastó para conquistarte
Enough to win you over
La pura tapicería
The pure upholstery
Bastó para disfrazarte
It was enough to disguise you
La pura bisutería
The pure costume jewelry
A ver si cuando estén solos
Let's see if when they're alone
Y ya no esté papi y mami
And mommy and daddy aren't around anymore
A la hora de estar desnudos
At the time of being naked
Los salva el señor Versace
The Lord Versace saves them
Chicos de plástico, chicos de plástico
Plastic boys, plastic boys
Cada oveja busca su pareja y se construyen su propia reja
Every sheep looks for its mate and builds its own fence
Chicos de plástico, chicos de plástico
Plastic boys, plastic boys
Su amargura la pintan de alegría y viven una pesadilla
Their bitterness is painted with joy and they live a nightmare
Entre esos trajes de lujo
Among those luxury outfits
Y ese tan extraño hablado
And that strangely spoken language
Con ese gran influjo
With that great influence
Que el norte les ha heredado
That the North has passed down
Chicos de plástico, chicos de plástico
Plastic boys, plastic boys
Cada oveja busca su pareja y se construyen su propia reja
Every sheep looks for its pair and builds its own fence
Chicos de plástico
Plastic boys
No es que esté malo estar bien
It's not bad to be well off
Si es que tú te lo has ganado
If you've earned it for yourself
Lo malo es ir presumiendo
What’s bad is showing off
Lo que tu papi te ha dado
What your daddy has given you
Cuidado, que entre la seda
Watch out, because among the silk
También cabe un papanatas
There's also room for a fool
Cuidado que el caviar
Be careful, because caviar
También le gusta a las ratas
Rats like it too
Chicos de plástico, chicos de plástico
Plastic kids, plastic kids
Cada oveja busca su pareja y se construyen su propia reja
Each sheep seeks its mate and builds its own fence
Chicos de plástico, chicos de plástico
Plastic kids, plastic kids
Su amargura la pintan de alegría y viven una pesadilla
They paint their bitterness with happiness and live a nightmare
Entre esos trajes de lujo
Among those luxury suits
Y ese tan extraño hablado
And that strange speech
Con ese gran influjo
With that great influence
Que el norte les ha heredado
That the north has bequeathed them
Chicos de plástico, chicos de plástico
Plastic kids, plastic kids
Cada oveja busca su pareja y se construyen su propia reja
Each sheep seeks its mate and builds its own fence
Chicos de plástico, chicos de plástico
Plastic kids, plastic kids
Su amargura la pintan de alegría y viven una pesadilla
They paint their bitterness with joy and live a nightmare
Chicos de plástico
Plastic kids
Chicos de plástico
Plastic kids
Chicos de plástico
Plastic kids
