Nada tienes que temer
You have nothing to fear
Al mal tiempo buena cara
To bad weather good face
La Constitución te ampara
The Constitution protects you
La justicia te defiende
Justice defends you
La policía te guarda
The police keep you
El sindicato te apoya
The union supports you
El sistema te respalda
The system has your back
Y los pajaritos cantan
And the birds sing
Y las nubes se levantan
And the clouds rise
Cruza los dedos
Fingers crossed
Toca madera
Knock on wood
No pases por debajo de esa escalera
Don't go under that ladder
Y evita el trece
And avoid thirteen
Y al gato negro
And the black cat
No te levantes con el pie izquierdo
Don't get up with your left foot
Y métete en el bolsillo
And get into your pocket
Envuelta en tu carta astral
Wrapped in your birth chart
Una pata de conejo
A rabbit's foot
Por si se quiebra un espejo
In case a mirror breaks
O se derrama la sal
Or salt is spilled
Y vigila el horóscopo
And watch the horoscope
Y el biorritmo
And the biorhythm
Ni se te ocurra vestirte de amarillo
Don't even think about wearing yellow
Y si a pesar de todo
And if in spite of everything
La vida te cuelga
Life hangs up on you
El «no hay billetes»
The "no tickets"
Recuerda
Remember
Que pisar mierda
That step on shit
Trae buena suerte
Bring good luck
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Cruza los dedos
Fingers crossed
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Nada tienes que temer
You have nothing to fear
Arriba los corazones
Up the hearts
Nada tienes que temer
You have nothing to fear
Pero nunca están de más ciertas precauciones
But it never hurts certain precautions
Cruza los dedos
Fingers crossed
Toca madera
Knock on wood
No pases por debajo de esa escalera
Don't go under that ladder
Y evita el trece
And avoid thirteen
Y al gato negro
And the black cat
No te levantes con el pie izquierdo
Don't get up with your left foot
Que también hacen la siesta
They also nap
Los árbitros y los jueces
Referees and judges
Con tu olivo y tu paloma
With your olive tree and your dove
Camina por la maroma
Walk through the maroma
Entre el amor y la muerte
Between love and death
Y vigila el horóscopo
And watch the horoscope
Y el biorritmo
And the biorhythm
Ni se te ocurra vestirte de amarillo
Don't even think about wearing yellow
Y si a pesar de todo
And if in spite of everything
La vida te cuelga
Life hangs up on you
El 'no hay billetes'
The 'no tickets'
Recuerda
Remember
Que pisar mierda
That step on shit
Trae buena suerte
Bring good luck
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Cruza los dedos
Fingers crossed
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Y ajústate los machos
And adjust the males
Respira hondo
Take a deep breath
Traga saliva
Swallows
Toma carrera
Take career
Y abre la puerta
And open the door
Sal a la calle
Go outside
Cruza los dedos
Fingers crossed
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Toca madera
Knock on wood
Cruza los dedos
Fingers crossed
Toca madera
Knock on wood
