Contento Lyrics in English Loquillo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Loquillo / Contento

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Contento by Loquillo from Spanish to English.

Swear to me that you’ll never say

'I give up, I sit to wait'

See them coming

And snort my ego through my nose

A dance somewhere

Today it waits for you, they’ll say 'go chase it'

There’s a flower

Made only for me to pick

And out on the street the fight’s still the same

So everyday and so filthy

Yet it can move you

I smell a fight in the bar

Glad

Innocently you’ll ask

'While I fight, do I maybe put off the end?'

They’ll hide from you

That life is an arrow shot at random

Thrown not knowing where it’ll land

Nor in what place nor on which tree

Trembling it will stick

In the middle of the gale

Glad

And in the moonlit clearing

The monsters set a date

And he’s happy inside his lie

He who’s hurt by reality

We’re going to meet

Erase my smile from my face if you can

Try, you won’t manage

Glad

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

I sit to wait

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

I sit to wait

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

I sit to wait

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

I sit to wait

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

I sit to wait

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

Glad to see you

Glad to exist today

Well, we’re f*cked

SONG MEANING

Loquillo's Contento is a cheeky rock hymn that strolls through smoky bars and battle-scarred streets, showing how everyday life can feel like a back-alley brawl and a late-night dance all at once. The singer swears he will never say 'I quit', sniffs ego 'through the nose', and hunts for a single flower meant only for him. The world outside is rough, messy, and strangely moving, yet the chorus keeps bouncing back to one word: Contento - happy.

The song flips happiness into a rebellious stance. Life, Loquillo warns, is an arrow shot at random; monsters gather in moonlit clearings; sometimes a sweet lie cuts less than the truth. Even so, he dares anyone to wipe the grin from his face: 'Prueba, no lo lograrás'. By the time he repeats 'Yo me siento a esperar', that grin has become armor. The message is clear: keep dancing, keep fighting, and wear your joy like a bruise the world can never rub away.
