La Actitud Correcta Lyrics in English Bunbury

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Actitud Correcta by Bunbury from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
You have the right attitude
The look in front of the camera
The well-chosen words
And an overwhelming sensibility
It's not a matter of credibility
Nor of authenticity
It's the final result
That seems insufficient to me
Chorus 1
You have the right attitude
But you're missing that I-don't-know-what
That I don't know what it is
And it's the only thing that matters
Verse 2
You have the right attitude
For a discreet version
That recalls another era
That you insist on reproducing
You cite bands that are trendy
And your new record will be the sh*t
More guitar and more synthesizer
I'm sure the same song will sound familiar to me
Chorus 2
You have the right attitude
But you're missing that I-don't-know-what
That I don't know what it is
And it's the only thing that matters
Bridge
It's something similar
It's something similar
It's something similar
It's something similar
Chorus 3
You have the right attitude
But you're missing that I-don't-know-what
That I don't know what it is
And it's the only thing that matters

SONG MEANING

La Actitud Correcta playfully calls out performers who have everything almost perfect: the look, the buzzwords, the trendy references, even the promise of a killer new record. Australian rocker Bunbury applauds their polished image, then cheekily pulls the rug from under them by repeating that they still lack that mysterious no sé qué—the unteachable spark that turns competence into magic.

Through witty lines about recycled sounds, name-dropping, and copy-and-paste nostalgia, the song becomes a humorous critique of an industry obsessed with appearances over substance. Bunbury reminds us that true artistry is not just about mimicking the past or ticking stylistic boxes; it is about capturing an indescribable essence that makes music unforgettable. If that elusive ingredient is missing, all the “right attitude” in the world will never be quite enough.
