Lyrics and translation La Beriso - El Necio




El Necio
The Stubborn One
Para no hacer de mi ícono pedazos
To not make pieces of my icon
Para salvarme entre únicos e impares
To save myself among odd and even ones
Para cederme lugar en su parnaso
To be granted a place on their pantheon
Para darme un rinconcito en sus altares
To give me a small corner on their altars
Me vienen a convidar a arrepentirme
They come to invite me, my dear, to repent
Me vienen a convidar a que no pierda
They come to invite me, my dear, not to lose
Me vienen a convidar a indefinirme
They come to invite me, my dear, to remain vague
Me vienen a convidar a tanta mierda
They come to invite me, my dear, to so much crap
Yo no lo que es el destino
I don't know what destiny is
Caminando fui lo que fui
Walking, I was what I was
Allá Dios que será divino
Let God be divine over there
Yo me muero como viví
I'll die as I have lived
Yo me muero como viví
I'll die as I have lived
Yo me muero como viví
I'll die as I have lived
Dicen que me arrastraran por sobre rocas
They say they will drag me over rocks
Cuando la revolución se venga abajo
When the revolution crumbles
Que machacarán mis manos y mi boca
That they will crush my hands and my mouth
Que me arrancarán los ojos y el badajo
That they will rip out my eyes and the clapper
Será que la necedad parió conmigo
It must be that stubbornness was born with me
La necedad de lo que hoy resulta necio
The stubbornness of what today seems foolish
La necedad de asumir al enemigo
The stubbornness of taking on the enemy
La necedad de vivir sin tener precio
The stubbornness of living without being priceless
Yo no lo que es el destino
I don't know what destiny is
Caminando fui lo que fui
Walking, I was what I was
Allá Dios que será divino
Let God be divine over there
Yo me muero como viví
I'll die as I have lived
Yo me muero como viví
I'll die as I have lived
Yo me muero como viví
I'll die as I have lived
