Last night I found out that my mother was dealing hashish

That my girlfriend worked for her on the street

And sometimes she didn't charge, look, she had the detail

She has a very good heart, but you already know that

What a surprise I got when I opened the door

And I met an old colleague

Getting into the blackest pain

How do you want me to feel

If the schemes are broken

If even the blood burns me

If you change my novel for the face, how do you want?

Don't look down

That she is always used to

And sleep soundly

And even in times of storm

Oh my goodness, what a fuss

How many people taking photos

They are releasing a scammer from the dungeon

I would say he is my brother

Oh my goodness, he really is my brother!

He is my brother and he has looked at me askance

They are putting him in a zeta

And a big egg has exploded in his jacket

Cries of revenge are heard

My brother starts a yanto

I want to run away

I can't stand so much

How do you want me to feel

If the schemes are broken

If even the blood burns me

If you change my novel for the face, how do you want?

Don't look down

That she is always used to

And sleep soundly

And even in times of storm

How do you want me to feel

If the schemes are broken

If even the blood burns me

If you change my novel for the face, how do you want?

Don't look down

That she is always used to

And sleep soundly

How do you want me to feel

If the schemes are broken

If even the blood burns me

If you change my novel

calabozo — dungeon / jail cell

Calabozo translates to "dungeon" or "jail cell." It's a dramatic and somewhat old-fashioned word that immediately conjures vivid imagery, making it stand out from everyday vocabulary.

In the song, the narrator witnesses a chaotic scene where an "estafador" (swindler) is being taken out of the calabozo. The word adds a touch of dark humor and theatricality to the

Ever had one of those nights where everything just goes completely wild? Estopa's "Pesadilla Familiar" [Family Nightmare] throws us right into that feeling! The song starts with a bang, as our narrator discovers his mom is dealing drugs and his girlfriend is a street worker who sometimes doesn't even get paid. Talk about a rough start to the night!

Things only get crazier when he opens the door to find an old friend doing drugs, and then, in a total public spectacle, his own brother is being arrested for fraud! He even gets an egg thrown at him! The narrator is just trying to process this whirlwind of chaos, repeating "Cómo quieres que me sienta / Si se rompen los esquemas" [How do you want me to feel / If my schemes are broken]. It's a wild, almost unbelievable story that makes you wonder how anyone could keep it together.
