Hoy me vestí sin prisa
Today I got dressed without a hurry
¿Pa qué llegar primero?
What's the rush to arrive first?
Me puse una sonrisa
I put on a smile
Para empezar de cero
To start all over again
Llamé a mis enemigos
I called my enemies
Y les grité un "te quiero"
And shouted a 'I love you'
Con los pies en el suelo
With my feet on the ground
No necesito atajos
I don't need shortcuts
No apunto más al cielo
I no longer aim for the sky
Lo mío está aquí abajo
What’s mine is right here below
Salud por los amigos
Cheers to friends
Y el resto pa'l carajo
And the rest can go to hell
Despacio que hay prisa
Slow down, there's no rush
Si no hay, improvisa
If there's none, make it up
Sombra que no quiere luz
Shadow that doesn't want light
Que se busque otro rincón porque este va a brillar
Go find another corner 'cause this one's gonna shine
Despacio que hay prisa
Slow down, there's no rush
Si no hay, improvisa
If there's none, make it up
Sombra que no quiere luz
Shadow that doesn't want light
Que se busque otro rincón porque este va a brillar
Go find another corner 'cause this one's gonna shine
Es lo que hay, brilla
It is what it is, shine
Si hay miedo, una sonrisa
If there's fear, a smile
Si hay ruina, se trabaja
If there's ruin, we work
No están pidiendo Visa
They're not asking for a Visa
Para quedarse en casa
To stay at home
No vayas tanto a misa
Don't go to mass too much
Que ahí Dios ya no trabaja
Because there God no longer works
Despacio que hay prisa
Slowly, there's no rush
Si no hay, improvisa
If there's none, improvise
Sombra que no quiere luz
Shadow that doesn't want light
Que se busque otro rincón porque este va a brillar
Let it find another corner because this one is going to shine
Despacio que hay prisa
Slowly, there's no rush
Si no hay, improvisa
If there's none, improvise
Sombra que no quiere luz
Shadow that doesn't want light
Que se busque otro rincón porque este va a brillar
Let it find another corner because this one is going to shine
Es lo que hay, brilla
It is what it is, shine
Sombra que no quiere luz
Shadow that doesn't want light
Que se busque otro rincón porque este va a brillar
Let it find another corner because this one is going to shine
Despacio que hay prisa
Slowly, there's no rush
Si no hay, improvisa
If there's none, improvise
Sombra que no quiere luz
Shadow that doesn't want light
Que se busque otro rincón porque este va a brillar
Let it find another corner because this one is going to shine
Es lo que hay, eh
It is what it is, eh
