No crean que soy plástico y superficial
Do not think that I am plastic and superficial
O que es nulo mi coeficiente intelectual
Or that my IQ is null
No piensen que soy un chico material
Don't think I'm a material boy
Sólo estoy intentando disimular
I'm just trying to disguise
No crean que no tengo el temple de un samurai
Do not think that I do not have the temper of a samurai
Ni que mi cerebro es del tamaño de un bonsai
Nor that my brain is the size of a bonsai
Aunque se que hoy estoy en offside
Although I know that today I am offside
No parece pero aquí adentro tengo un Intel Inside
It doesn't seem like it but in here I have an Intel Inside
Podría quedarme en casa tomando cachaça
I could stay at home drinking cachaça
Podría ser un técnico de la NASA
Could be a NASA technician
Podría mostrar lo que hay detrás de esta carcasa
I could show what's behind this casing
Pero hoy tengo que ser uno más en la masa
But today I have to be one more in the mass
No detenerme a cuestionar
Don't stop to question
Ni sentir culpa de ser uno mas
Nor feel guilty of being one more
Y según dicte la ocasión
And as the occasion dictates
Adaptarme como el camaleón
adapt like a chameleon
Porque hoy no me quiero
because today I don't love myself
Ver buscando a todo un por qué
See looking for a whole why
Dejando que suceda lo que vaya sucediendo
Letting what happens happen
Y no dudar si dudar
And not doubt if doubt
Ni ser tan trascendental
Nor be so transcendental
No me interpreten mal
don't get me wrong
Sólo estoy sobreviviendo
I'm just surviving
Hay veces que me canso de que me señalen
There are times that I get tired of being pointed at
Que por nada con la mirada me apuñalen
That they stab me for nothing with their eyes
Se que mis valores valen y si las cosas no salen
I know my values are worth and if things don't work out
Hago como el Zelig de Woody Allen
I do like Woody Allen's Zelig
Pero eso no apaga mi llama
But that doesn't put out my flame
Hasta el Dalai Lama tuvo sus 15 minutos de fama
Even the Dalai Lama had his 15 minutes of fame
Es el drama de 'el que no llora, no mama'
It is the drama of 'he who does not cry, does not breast'
Pero juro que no es llana la linea de mi encefalograma
But I swear that the line of my encephalogram is not flat
Y así voy con mi álter ego alterado
And so I go with my alter ego altered
Que se parece a mi pero algo tuneado
that looks like me but somewhat tuned
Que convierte en simple lo complicado
That makes the complicated simple
Y que acepto por subsistir y no para ser aceptado
And that I accept to survive and not to be accepted
Cuando me toca aparentar
When he touches me to pretend
Vuelve el momento de posar
It's time to pose
Se que asumió mi dirección
I know you took my direction
Mi instinto de conservación
My self-preservation instinct
Porque hoy no me quiero ver
Because today I don't want to see myself
Buscando a todo un por qué
Looking for a whole why
Dejando que suceda lo que vaya sucediendo
Letting what happens happen
Y no dudar si dudar
And not doubt if doubt
Ni ser tan trascendental
Nor be so transcendental
No me interpreten mal
don't get me wrong
Sólo estoy sobreviviendo
I'm just surviving
Sobreviviendo, Sobreviviendo
surviving, surviving
En un mundo que discrimina y tortura
In a world that discriminates and tortures
Que al diferente le pasa factura
That the different takes its toll
Al que va contra corriente, tritura
Whoever goes against the current, crushes
Clausura y quiere esconder como basura
Closure and wants to hide like trash
Que margina, incrimina y censura
What marginalizes, incriminates and censors
Por delante aprueba y por detrás murmura
From the front he approves and from behind he murmurs
Que castiga al que se va de la estructura
What punishes the one who leaves the structure
Y que nunca sutura lo que fisura
And that never sutures what fissures
Y el que desafina en su partitura
And the one who goes out of tune in his score
Va contra natura o tiene una intención oscura
He goes against nature or has a dark intention
Y su lucha será dura con fachadas que parecen blandas
And his fight will be hard with façades that seem soft
Pero almas que no se fracturan
But souls that don't fracture
Sólo estoy sobreviviendo
I'm just surviving
Sólo estoy sobreviviendo
I'm just surviving
