Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Hoy me he levantado

Today I woke up

Con un ser malvado en la habitación

With an evil being in the room

Es despiadada, oportunista y traicionera

It's ruthless, opportunistic, and treacherous

Dice saber todos mis puntos flacos

Claims to know all my weak points

Del sobaco hasta los miedos de los dedos de los pies

From my armpit to the fears in my toes

Me conoce bien, sabe hacerme daño

Knows me well, knows how to hurt me

Siempre se ríe de mí en el baño

Always laughs at me in the bathroom

Del tamaño de mis piernas

About the size of my legs

Dice que es como yo pero más mala

Says she's like me but worse

Y me va recordando los malos tragos que bebí

And keeps reminding me of the bad times I had

Siempre da la nota, pesimista

Always makes a scene, pessimistic

Al entrar en el dentista pasa lista

When entering the dentist, she takes attendance

De defectos que hay que asumir

Of flaws that must be accepted

Acaricia mis ojeras

Caresses my dark circles

Coge postura tumbada se apoya

Lies down, supports herself

Me agarra la molla y se echa a dormir

Grabs my belly and falls asleep

Habla y muerde a la vez

Talks and bites at the same time

Esta parte de mí que ha decicido atormentarme

This part of me that has decided to torment me

Y reparte palabras necias a oídos tontos

And spreads foolish words to foolish ears

Voy a encerrarla aquí, en un rincón de mi piel

I'm going to lock her here, in a corner of my skin

Donde solo la vea si me rasco un poco

Where I only see her if I scratch a little

Paraperu paraperupa paraperu paraguay

Paraperu paraperupa paraperu paraguay

Hoy me lo he encontrado bajo la cama

Today I found her under the bed

Cantando una canción que decía

Singing a song that said

¡Que alegría! ¡Que alboroto! Que se ha roto tu corazón

What joy! What a commotion! Your heart has broken

Y no hay doctor ni pegamento

And there's no doctor or glue

Ni experto, grapadora o celofán

No expert, stapler, or cellophane

Que pueda pegar este destrozo

That can fix this mess

Y yo nunca miento

And I never lie

Oye, por cierto, tu pelo ¿Dónde está?

Hey, by the way, where's your hair?

Mi yo cabrón, que soy yo mismo

My evil self, which is me

Pero muchísimo más cruel

But much more cruel

Hace que piense las dos cosas malas

Makes me think of the two bad things

Y que vomite las mil que están bien

And vomit the thousand that are good

Cualquier dolor hipocondríaco

Any hypochondriac pain

Lo convierte en pánico nucelar

Turns into nuclear panic

¡Corre al hospital! Me dice siempre

"Run to the hospital!" she always tells me

Y cuando estés llegando al cielo verás

And when you're reaching heaven, you'll see

Como el pelo ya te da igual

How you won't care about your hair anymore

Habla y muerde a la vez

Talks and bites at the same time

Esta parte de mí que ha decidido atormentarme

This part of me that has decided to torment me

Y reparte palabras necias a oídos tontos

And spreads foolish words to foolish ears

Voy a encerrarla aquí, en un rincón de mi piel

I'm going to lock her here, in a corner of my skin

Donde solo la vea si me rasco un poco

Where I only see her if I scratch a little
