Mis amigos son unos atorrantes
My friends are tormenters
Se exhiben sin pudor, beben a morro
They exhibit themselves shamelessly, they drink to nose
Se pasan las consignas por el forro
The slogans are passed through the lining
Y se mofan de cuestiones importantes
And they scoff at important issues
Mis amigos son unos sinvergüenzas
My friends are scoundrels
Que palpan a las damas el trasero
That they feel the ladies the butt
Que hacen en los lavabos agujeros
What do holes in the sinks
Y les echan a patadas de las fiestas
And they kick them out of the parties
Mis amigos son unos desahogados
My friends are unburdened
Que orinan en mitad de la vereda
Urinating in the middle of the sidewalk
Contestan sin que nadie les pregunte
They answer without anyone asking them
Y juegan a los chinos sin monedas
And they play the Chinese without coins
Mi santa madre
My Holy Mother
Me lo decía
He told me.
'cuídate mucho, juanito
'Take good care of yourself, Juanito
De las malas compañías'
Of bad company'
Por eso es que a mis amigos
That's why my friends
Los mido con vara rasa
I measure them with a level rod
Y los tengo muy escogidos
And I have them very chosen
Son lo mejor de cada casa
They are the best of each house
Mis amigos son unos malhechores
My friends are evildoers
Convictos de atrapar sueños al vuelo
Convicted of catching dreams on the fly
Que aplauden cuando el sol se trepa al cielo
Who clap when the sun climbs into the sky
Y me abren su corazón como las flores
And they open their hearts to me like flowers.
Mis amigos son sueños imprevistos
My friends are unforeseen dreams
Que buscan sus piedras filosofales
Who seek their philosopher's stones
Rondando por sórdidos arrabales
Prowling the seedy suburbs
Donde bajan los dioses sin ser vistos
Where the gods come down without being seen
Mis amigos son gente cumplidora
My friends are compliant people
Que acuden cuando saben que yo espero
That they come when they know that I expect
Si les roza la muerte disimulan
If they are close to death, they hide
Que pa' ellos la amistad es lo primero
That for them friendship comes first
