Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bancate Ese Defecto by Charly García from Spanish to English.

Están pasando demasiadas cosas raras

Too many strange things are happening

Para que todo pueda seguir tan normal

For everything to continue so normal

Desconfío de tu cara de informado

I distrust your informed face

Y de tu instinto de supervivencia

And your survival instinct

Hace tiempo que no leo ni veo nada

It's been a while since I read or saw anything

Porque me ofende que todo esté tan mal

Because it offends me that everything is so bad

Y hasta las personas lindas me dan rabia

And even pretty people make me angry

Y los chicos y las chicas no hacen nada por cambiar

And the boys and girls do nothing to change

Porque algún día se va a abrir esta trampa mortal

Because someday this deadly trap will open

Pero hasta entonces llevarás en tu cara una sombra

But until then you will carry a shadow on your face

Y no presumas más de ser un humano normal

And don't brag anymore about being a normal human

Y no te hagas más el gil, que el defecto te nombra

And don't act like a fool anymore, that the defect names you

Y yo te digo ¡hey!

And I tell you hey!

Bancate ese defecto

Put up with that defect

No es culpa tuya si la nariz no hace juego en tu cara

It's not your fault if the nose doesn't match your face

Y yo te digo ¡hey!

And I tell you hey!

Bancate ese defecto

Put up with that defect

Aunque te arregles las gomas, nena, seguirás siendo rara

Even if you fix your tires, girl, you'll still be strange

Rara

Strange

Rara

Strange

¡Rakanroll!

Rock and roll!

prri prri prri

O mutilado, desnutrido, deformado

Or mutilated, malnourished, deformed

Ojo de vidrio, muestra tu cicatriz

Glass eye, show your scar

O marineros, maricones embolsados

Or sailors, f*gs in bags

Bailen la danza de la inteligencia

Dance the dance of intelligence

Están pasando demasiadas cosas raras

Too many strange things are happening

Para que todo pueda seguir tan normal

For everything to continue so normal

Todo el mundo lo conoce por la cara

Everyone knows him by the face

Todo el mundo se da cuenta por la forma de bailar

Everyone realizes by the way of dancing

Sabor

Flavor

Y yo te digo ¡hey!

And I tell you hey!

Bancate ese defecto

Put up with that defect

No es culpa tuya si la nariz no hace juego en tu cara

It's not your fault if the nose doesn't match your face

Y yo te digo ¡hey!

And I tell you hey!

Bancate ese defecto

Put up with that defect

Aunque te arregles las gomas, nena, seguirás siendo rara

Even if you fix your tires, girl, you'll still be strange

Rara

Strange

Rara

Strange

Rara

Strange

Rara

Strange

Rara

Strange

Rara

Strange

Rara
