Lyrics

Translation

Para ser un tipo educado

To be a polite guy

me pusieron a estudiar

They made me study

me mandaron a un privado

They sent me to a private one

y después a un hermoso industrial.

And then to a beautiful industrial one

Y sin embargo no aprendí nada

And yet, I didn't learn anything

Y sin embargo no aprendí nada

And yet, I didn't learn anything

pero a pesar de todo encontré mi lugar.

But despite everything, I found my place


Para ser un buen ciudadano

To be a good citizen

me enseñaron a desfilar

They taught me to march

a no mirar a los costados

Not to look to the sides

y a seguir el rataplán.

And to follow the rataplan


Y sin embargo perdía el paso

And yet, I was out of step

Y sin embargo perdía el paso

And yet, I was out of step

pero a pesar de todo encontré mi lugar.

But despite everything, I found my place


Para saborear la vida

To savor life

me dijeron ¡a trabajar!

They told me, "Work!"

a sentir el frío en mis manos

Feel the cold in my hands

y a mi espalda oírla quebrar.

And hear it break behind me


Y sin embargo nada valía nada

And yet, nothing was worth anything

sin embargo nada vale nada

Yet, nothing is worth anything

pero a pesar de todo encontré mi lugar.

But despite everything, I found my place


Figuritas, medallitas y diplomas

Stickers, medals, and diplomas

esta sistema no me supo enamorar

This system couldn't make me fall in love

pero el tiempo no pasa en vano

But time doesn't pass in vain

y la vida me sirvió sólo para encontrar un lugar

And life served only to find a place

y pudrirme en mi Rocanrol

And rot in my Rock and Roll
