Feo, Fuerte Y Formal Lyrics in English Loquillo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Feo, Fuerte Y Formal by Loquillo from Spanish to English.
The 3 F's
Ugly, strong and proper
I didn't come here to make friends
But you know that you can always
count on me
They say about me
that I'm kind of an animal
But deep down I'm sentimental
My family's not normal people
From another era and moral mold
that solve their problems in a natural way
Why argue
if you can fight
Give me a smile
of complicity
Your whole life
will stop
Nothing will be the same
Nothing will be equal
You know: ugly, strong and proper
In the heat of the night in broad daylight
Always ready to brighten your day
Man of honor
through and through
And like the duke: ugly, strong and proper
My fame will precede me
To infinity and beyond
By God
It is written
If I give you my word it will never be broken
I didn't come here to make friends
But you know that you can always count on me
They say about me
that I'm kind of an animal
But deep down I'm sentimental
Give me a smile
of complicity
Your whole life
will stop
Nothing will be the same
Nothing will be equal
You know: ugly, strong and proper
In the heat of the night in broad daylight
Always ready to brighten your day
Man of honor
through and through
And like the duke: ugly, strong and proper
You know: ugly, strong and proper
You know: ugly, strong and proper
You know: ugly, strong and proper

SONG MEANING

Feo, Fuerte y Formal is Loquillo’s swagger-packed anthem about wearing your rough edges like a badge of honor. The narrator proudly claims the legendary “three F’s” – ugly, strong, and respectable – and paints himself as an old-school outlaw who isn’t here to make friends, yet will always have your back. Surrounded by a family that settles problems the “natural” way (with fists rather than words), he boasts an unbreakable personal code: if he gives his word, it stands “hasta el infinito y más allá.”

Beneath the leather-clad bravado, though, beats the heart of a sentimental hero. He might be called “animal,” but he’s always ready to brighten your day, share a conspiratorial smile, and prove that loyalty still matters. The song celebrates timeless values – honor, courage, sincerity – wrapped in rock-and-roll attitude, inviting listeners to embrace their imperfections and live boldly, feo, fuerte y formal.
