Para no andar jugando al escondite

Que se las han robado

Justo a los que no pueden darles guerra

No habria proposicion indecorosa
There would be no unseemly proposition
Por menos de un millon

Si fuese lo que soy
If i was what i am
Seguro pensaria esta todo bien

Ni niño ni lo que soy
Neither child nor what I am
Soy otro plato mas en el mantel
I am another dish on the tablecloth
