La misma vaina que tu papá, óyelo bien

Al extranjero se fue Simón

Lejos de casa, se le olvidó aquel sermón

Cambio la forma de caminar

Usaba falda, lápiz labial, y un carterón
He wore a skirt, lipstick, and a large purse
Cuenta la gente que un dia el papá

Fue a visitarlo sin avisar

Vaya que error

Si del cielo te caen limones

Aprende a hacer limonada

Palo que nace doblado, jamás su tronco endereza

En que esté libre de pecado, que tire la primera piedra

Did you like this lyrics translation?
varón — male / man
Varón translates to "male" or "man," but it carries a much stronger cultural weight than a simple translation suggests. It's often associated with traditional masculinity, expectations, and the pride of having a male heir.
In this song, it's central to the narrative of Simón, who is born a "varón" and expected to conform to strict gender roles. The song explores the conflict between these expectations and Simón's true identity, making "varón" a poignant and thought-provoking word in this context.
