Acción! Lyrics in English by Kevin Johansen
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Acción! by Kevin Johansen from Spanish to English.
La escena empieza con un hombre que se esconde
The scene begins with a man who hides
De sí mismo
From himself
Corte a persecusión donde ambos no se caen en un abismo
Cut to a chase where both don't fall into an abyss
Pasamos a un camino lleno de señales sin sentido
We move to a road full of meaningless signs
Por él va una pareja confundida y vamos a un fundido
Along it goes a confused couple and we go to a fade out
Ella lo quiere y él también a él, pero no saben cómo
She loves him and he also loves him, but they don't know how
Demostrarlo
To show it
Ella lo quiere, pero no sabenvamos a otro plano ya
She loves him, but they don't know, let's go to another shot now
El director requiere atención pero nadie lo escucha
The director demands attention but nobody listens to him
Solo una chica haciendo el catering que parece muy ducha
Only a girl doing the catering who seems very skilled
Y los protagonistas en sus trailers juegan al backgammon
And the protagonists in their trailers play backgammon
Mientras el asistente desesperado grita 'Come on, come on!'
While the desperate assistant shouts 'Come on, come on!'
Él no la quiere y ella sabe bien que lo que tendría que hacer es irse
He doesn't love her and she knows well that what she should do is leave
Él no la quiereque lo que tiene que hacer es tomársela
He doesn't love her, what he has to do is get rid of her
En vez de un largometraje va a ser más bien un cortito
Instead of a feature film it's going to be more like a short one
Porque ella se dió cuenta a tiempo de que no le importa
Because she realized in time that he doesn't care
Un pito
A d*ck
Y aunque ella se come la película, no se la come
And although she falls for the story, she doesn't fall for it
Did you like this lyrics translation?
pito — whistle / dick / damn thing
Pito literally means "whistle" or can be a vulgar term for "penis." However, in the context of this song, it's used in the common Spanish idiom "no le importa un pito," which means "he doesn't care a damn thing" or "he doesn't give a damn."
This phrase adds a strong, dismissive tone to the lyrics, highlighting the character's complete indifference. It's an interesting word choice because of its multiple meanings and its use in a vivid, idiomatic expression that conveys a powerful emotion.
