Verse 1

Sooner or later, we all see an angel

And you, in 2007, were the prom queen

And I was kind of a weird guy, I was new that school year

And I learned your name on the first day of high school

You spent the breaks smoking in the bathroom

And I failed French because I sat next to you

They were times of change, you were a full moon

In a forest of wolves that were losing their patience

Chorus 1

And sometimes I forget that you're out of my reach

That you're a lady, and I'm a tramp, even if I bark

You don't answer my calls, you're not from my planet

We don't share anything, you're Beauty and I'm the Beast

Two parallel lines that have never crossed

I live at the station where you've never gotten off

My songs don't play when you're out partying

Your life is that puzzle where I don't put any pieces

Verse 2

Impossible loves, stories that burn us

And I'm still looking for the emergency exit

Three years have passed and, from what they say

You've been more into shortcuts than climbing stairs

Those of us from '94 still place bets

The odds are fifteen to one that you'll come back someday

The days I turn the corner of your street

I pray to whoever's up there that you'll walk by right then

Chorus 2

And sometimes I forget that you're out of my reach

That you're a lady, and I'm a tramp, even if I bark

You don't answer my calls, you're not from my planet

We don't share anything, you're Beauty and I'm the Beast

Two parallel lines that have never crossed

I live at the station where you've never gotten off

My songs don't play when you're out partying

Your life is that puzzle where I don't put any pieces

Outro

Us cats who spent one of our lives on you

We know luck is just a point of view

(Well, Patilla doesn't sing that badly

Dad, come on, Dad, we're not done)

atajos — shortcuts

Atajos means “shortcuts,” or quicker routes to reach a destination. In the song, “has sido más de atajos que subir escaleras” uses it metaphorically to suggest that she prefers easier, less direct paths in life rather than working her way upward step by step, making it a vivid and memorable expression.

Envido6 takes us back to a Spanish secondary school in 2007, where he was the odd new kid and she was "la reina del baile" [the queen of the dance]. He learned her name on day one, she spent breaks smoking in the toilets, and he admits he failed French "porque me sentaba a tu lado" [because I sat next to you]. That detail is so specific and so silly that you believe every word. Instituto is Spanish secondary school, and los patios are the breaks spent out in the playground.

The title is Disney's Lady and the Tramp, which is called La dama y el vagabundo in Spain: "tú eres una dama, y yo, un vagabundo, aunque ladre" [you are a lady, and I am a tramp, even if I bark]. He's the scruffy dog, and the barking joke is great. Then he swaps films: "tú eres Bella y yo soy Bestia" [you're Beauty and I'm the Beast]. Three years on, the boys born in '94 are still betting on her coming back, and "Se paga quince a uno" [it pays fifteen to one] is bookmaker talk for long odds. The best line might be "la suerte es solo un punto de vista" [luck is only a point of view], straight after a joke about the cats who spent one of their lives on her. The song ends on a messy spoken bit: someone calls out to their dad and insists they haven't finished yet.
