| Animal Nocturno | Nocturnal Animal |
| El ser un animal nocturno era una bella rutina. Conquistar a chicas del jet-set o a mujerzuelas de esquina Si es que no son la misma cosa Con diferencia de precio Entrar a algún bar sin conocer ni que me conozcan Entonar una canción y esperar el trago de cortesía Que siempre venía Era mi filosofía Hasta que un productor según él me hizo el favor De grabarme un disco Y metió la inspiración en una computadora Y aquel fuego de libertad en refrigeradora Me dijeron «Quítate esos jeans y esa camisa vaquera. Tendremos que cambiarte de look pues ese nadie lo aprueba. Tendrás imagen nueva Y una prospera carrera» Luciendo siempre cara de mascota recién comprada Salía en la tele concierto dejo de tristeza en la mirada Y el alma enfadada De cantar sin decir nada Me cansé de los representantes y cócteles de moda. Me cansé de toda esa gente que dice que te adora. Das la espalda y te ignora. Me harté de no ser el mismo Me compré unos cuantos amigos, una novia y un perro. Los amigos y la novia se fueron. Sólo me quedó el perro Que no tiene prejuicios Y me acepta como soy Por eso vine a este bar y aquí me pagan diez mil pesos la hora. Tengo un cuarto con balcón y hasta una chica que me adora Y es tanta mi fe que aunque no tengo jardín Ya compré una podadora × 2 |
Being a nocturnal animal was a good routine. Conquering jet-set girls or sluts on the corner (It is that) they are the same thing With a difference in price To enter some bar without even knowing if they know me To sing a song and wait for the courtesy drink That would always come Was my philosophy Until a producer, according to him, did me the favour Of recording a record for me And put the inspiration in a computer And that fire of freedom in the refrigerator They said to me “Take off those jeans and that denim shirt. We will have to change your look since nobody approves of it. You will have a new image And a prosperous career” Always wearing the face of a recently bought pet I used to appear in TV concerts losing the sadness in my expression And my soul angry From singing without saying anything I tired of the representatives and fashionable cocktails. I tired of all those people who say that they adore you. You pat their back and they ignore you. I got fed up with not being myself I bought myself a few friends, a girlfriend and a dog. The friends and the girlfriend went away. Only the dog was left for me That does not have prejudices And accepts me as I am That is why I came to this bar and here they pay me ten thousand pesos an hour. I have a room with a balcony and even a girl that adores me And so much is my faith that although I do not have garden I have already bought a lawnmower × 2 |
