Flan Lyrics in English El Cuarteto de Nos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Flan by El Cuarteto de Nos from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
Aquí estoy esperando que cambie el mundo
Here I am waiting for the world to change
Que se calmen los ánimos un segundo
Let the mood calm down for a second
Pero no hay un refugio a donde correr
But there's no shelter to run to
Ni una voz transparente en la que creer
Not a transparent voice to believe in
Y para colmo aguantar la publicidad
And to top it all off, put up with the advertising
Del tipo que se ríe mientras come un flan
The kind that laughs while he eats a flan

Conflictos, problemas, disputas, peleas
Conflicts, problems, disputes, fights
Historias que nacen en crisis y guerras

Tormentas sin nombre que crecen y fluyen

No son huracanes pero igual destruyen
They are not hurricanes but they still destroy
Días, testigos de la hipocresía
Days, witnesses of hypocrisy
De lideres falsos que se creen mesías

Mariposas que olvidan que fueron gusanos
Butterflies that forget they were worms
Esto es más turbio que Pollos Hermanos
This is shadier than Pollos Hermanos
Chorus 2
¿Está picante afuera?
Is it spicy outside?
¿Está caliente afuera?

Está tan duro afuera que hasta el más indiferente

Puede arder en esa hoguera
can burn in that bonfire
Dicen que mi paranoia afecta a mi salud

Y que nada es real hasta que sale en Youtube
And nothing is real until it appears on YouTube
Y es que todo es tan endeble y tan fugaz
And everything is so weak and so fleeting
Que poco aprendemos de los tiempos de paz
How little we learn from times of peace
Aquí estoy esperando que cambie el mundo
Here I am waiting for the world to change
Que se calmen los ánimos un segundo
Let the mood calm down for a second
Pero no hay un refugio a donde correr

Verse 2
Insultos, sirenas, alarmas que suenan
Insults, sirens, alarms ringing
Todo se discute, nada se argumenta

Gente que puso un imán en su brújula

Gente que grita escribiendo en mayúsculas
People shouting writing in capital letters
Irremplazables seres esenciales

De imprescindibles está lleno el cementerio

Como en la más brutal de las fronteras

Recuerdo cuando no sabia que era feliz

Aunque la felicidad no deja cicatriz

No hay escala ni regla que mida el dolor

Solo el cerdo sabe cuanto vale el jamón

Verse 3
Ideales frágiles en días temblorosos

Con destinos inciertos y temerosos

Personajes blandos que se muestran tan valientes

Que se juntan en un clan, pero no hay plan

Pero un poco más amarga que ese flan
