Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Animal by Caifanes from Spanish to English.
Voy a mandar hacer un animal
I'm going to have an animal made
Con piel de humano y las manos de león
With human skin and lion's hands
Le enseñare a arañar, a ladrar, a masticar
I'll teach it to scratch, to bark, to chew
Y le diré todo lo que esta muy mal
And I'll tell it everything that's very wrong
Voy a mandar hacer un animal
I'm going to have an animal made
Que se parezca a ti, pero que no sea igual
That it resembles you, but that it's not the same
Que tenga ganas de abortar su sombra, y mas
That it wants to abort its shadow, and more
Que pueda andar por las calles y no mirar atrás
That it can walk through the streets and not look back
Estarán en el suelo
They'll be on the ground
Estarán en el techo
They'll be on the roof
Estarán en el cielo
They'll be in the sky
Estarán en tus pechos
They'll be on your breasts
En tu almohada
On your pillow
Voy a mandar hacer otro animal
I'm going to have another animal made
Con mas agallas y mas dientes pa' masticar
With more guts and more teeth to chew
Con sangre humana en sus ojos, ellos se irán
With human blood in their eyes, they will leave
Y me dirán todo lo que esta muy mal
And they'll tell me everything that's very wrong
Estarán en el suelo
They'll be on the ground
Estarán en el techo
They'll be on the roof
Estarán en el cielo
They'll be in the sky
Estarán en tus pechos
They'll be on your breasts
En tu almohada
On your pillow
