I'm dripping cold sweats

3 A.M. in a dressing room

I became popular, I ran out of friends

And I ordered your favorite dish for dinner

And there's only caviar left in the fridge

And a couple of open bottles from long ago, long ago

Cardboard boxes that I keep piled up

Luxury brand and dirty cloth to wash

Your fragility, my weakness

I try to hold the weight

That now I have to carry

You need more than what I gave you a long time ago

But there is no way

There is no way anymore

And there is no way, no

There is no way anymore

I'm dripping cold sweats

5 A.M., Madrid in suspense

I turned to walk the streets we live in

But you are no longer here and the baby has grown up

And your photo doubles in the wallet

Between the bills and a dose of pam-pam

Because you have been my drug since I was a kid

And neither fame nor high life buys you

Your fragility, my weakness

I try to hold on unscathed

Because cheese comes and goes

I earn it and spend it, what difference will all that make?

If there is no way

and there is no way

And there is no way, no

There is no way anymore

But the cold and the toothache return

The drinks alone, the sleepless nights

When I cry and laugh, when inside, it snows, love

But the cold and the toothache return

Eat our mouths, throw yourself on the sidewalk

I'm past the trend of being with anyone

I try to hold on

But there is no way

There is no way anymore

and there is no way

There is no way anymore

Recycled J opens this one at 3 a.m. in a dressing room, "dripeando sudores fríos" (dripping cold sweats). Dripear is Spanglish slang built from the English "drip", usually used for flashy style, and here he twists it into nervous sweat. Fame has come with a price: "Me volví popular, me quedé sin amigos" (I got popular, I ran out of friends). He orders your favourite dish for dinner, and the fridge holds only caviar and a couple of bottles opened ages ago. Luxury brands, cardboard boxes, and "trapos sucios que lavar" (dirty laundry to wash), which in Spanish also means private problems you would rather keep hidden.

The chorus is blunt: "Ya no hay manera" (there's no way anymore). Someone he loved needs more than he can give, and it cannot be fixed. The second verse moves to 5 a.m. with "Madrid en vilo" (Madrid on edge, kept awake), walking the streets they used to share. Her photo is folded in his wallet, and he calls her "mi droga desde que era un chaval" (my drug since I was a kid; chaval is Spain's everyday word for a boy). Money does not help either: "el queso viene y va" (the cheese comes and goes), where queso is slang for cash. Even "comernos la boca" (literally eating each other's mouths, meaning kissing hard) is now just a memory. A sad, tired song, and a great one for picking up real Spanish street slang.
