Parece que estás bien
It seems like you're doing well
Perfecta pa la foto
Perfect for the picture
Más talla en el sostén
More size in the bra
Chofer y copiloto
Driver and co-pilot
Más nanas que herederos
More lullabies than heirs
Más millas que azafata
More miles than a stewardess
Combinas tus sombreros
You match your hats
Con todas sus corbatas
With all your ties
Mascotas con casita
Pets with their little house
Y estatus VIP
And VIP status
Y el dalái te da cita
And the Dalai gives you an appointment
Cuando anda por aquí
When he walks around here
Cada cual su vida
Everyone with their own life
Yo quise la verdad; tú, la mentira
I wanted the truth; you wanted the lie
Lujo y pesadilla
Luxury and nightmare
Quien tiene dignidad no se arrodilla
Those with dignity don't kneel
Dicen que en la vida
They say in life
No gana el que se va, sino el que olvida
It's not the one who leaves that wins, but the one who forgets
Parece que estás bien
It seems like you're fine
Parece que parece
It seems like it seems
Que el precio de un rehén
That the price of a hostage
Paga lo que merece
Is worth what it deserves
Parece que estoy mal
It seems that I'm wrong
Y no es lo que parece
And it's not what it seems
La azúcar sabe a sal
The sugar tastes like salt
Depende quien te bese
It depends on who kisses you
No llames más a casa
Don't call home anymore
Te juro, soy feliz
I swear, I am happy
Con mi sartén de grasa
With my skillet of grease
Y mi amor de aprendiz
And my love of a novice
Cada cual su vida
Each one their own life
Yo quise la verdad; tú, la mentira
I wanted the truth; you, the lie
Lujo y pesadilla
Luxury and nightmare
Quien tiene dignidad no se arrodilla
Those with dignity do not kneel
Dicen que en la vida
They say that in life
No gana el que se va, sino el que olvida
It's not the one who leaves that wins, but the one who forgets
Cada cual su vida
Each one their own life
Yo quise la verdad; tú, la mentira
I wanted the truth; you, the lie
Lujo y pesadilla
Luxury and nightmare
Quien tiene dignidad no se arrodilla
Those with dignity do not kneel
Dicen que en la vida
They say that in life
No gana el que se va, sino el que olvida
It's not the one who leaves that wins, but the one who forgets
