Basta de mentiras, basta ya de torpeza,
Enough of lies, enough clumsiness,
alejate ya del laberinto que estresa,
Get away from the stressful labyrinth,
levantá la cabeza, no seas tan fácil presa,
raise your head, don't be so easy prey,
el que no se duerme siempre tiene ventaja.
The one who does not fall asleep always has an advantage.
A mi me interesa lo que a mí me interesa,
I am interested in what interests me,
no me importa quién, me nefrega la nobleza,
I don't care who, I shy the nobility,
no es por el terror que elijo quién me endereza,
It is not because of terror that I choose who straightens me out,
yo elijo pensar, no quiero ninguna promesa.
I choose to think, I don't want any promises.
El infierno es bien grande
Hell is very big
y lo encontrarás sin buscar.
and you'll find it without searching.
Dame en lo que no creas, quizá a mí me interesa,
Give me what you don't believe in, maybe I'm interested,
dame lo que escondés, ponelo sobre la mesa,
Give me what you hide, put it on the table,
sacame tu garra, fuera de mi cabeza,
take out your claw, out of my head,
tu cuento es pura mentira, disfrazada ´e certeza.
Your story is pure lies, disguised as certainty.
Sé tu único guía, no seas sólo una pieza,
Be your only guide, don't be just a piece,
juego estéril persiguiendo falsa riqueza,
sterile gambling chasing false wealth,
aprendé las reglas, movete con destreza,
learn the rules, move skillfully,
nunca sos bufón si dentro tuyo hay grandeza.
You are never a buffoon if there is greatness within you.
Bata de mentiras, basta ya de torpeza,
Coat of lies, enough of clumsiness,
alejate ya del laberinto que estresa,
Get away from the stressful labyrinth,
levantá la cabeza, no seas tan fácil presa,
raise your head, don't be so easy prey,
el que no se duerme siempre tiene ventaja.
The one who does not fall asleep always has an advantage.
Ecuchá tu ser, a ver cuál es hoy su queja,
Answer your being, to see what his complaint is today,
si te portas mal, paraíso se aleja,
if you misbehave, paradise moves away,
igual, una cag total se confiesa,
Equally, a total cag is confessed,
muchos criminales se avivaron con esa.
Many criminals were fanned by that one.
El infierno tiene hambre
Hell is hungry
y lo encontrás si buscás.
And you find it if you search.
Dame en lo que no creas, quizá a mí me interesa,
Give me what you don't believe in, maybe I'm interested,
dame lo que escondés, ponelo sobre la mesa,

sacame tu garra, fuera de mi cabeza,
take out your claw, out of my head,
tu cuento es pura mentira, disfrazada ´e certeza.
Your story is pure lies, disguised as certainty.
Dámelo, dámelo, dámelo, dámelo, dámelo a mí,
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me,
dámelo, dámelo, dáme, dámelo a mí.
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.
El infierno es bien grande
Hell is very big
