Текст и перевод песни Ricardo Arjona - Ánimal Nocturno

Ánimal Nocturno

El ser un animal nocturno era una bella rutina
Conquistar a chicas del Jet-Set o a mujerzuelas de esquina
Y es que no son la misma cosa
Con diferencia de precio

Entrar a algún bar sin conocer ni que me conozcan
Entonar una canción y esperar el trago de cortesía
Que siempre venia
Era mi filosofía

Hasta que un productor según el me hizo el favor
De grabarme un disco
Y metió la inspiración en una computadora
Y aquel fuego de libertad, en refrigeradora

Me dijeron quítate esos jeans y esa camisa vaquera
Tendremos que cambiarte de look pues ese nadie lo aprueba
Tendrás imagen nueva
Y una prospera carrera

Luciendo siempre cara de mascota recién comprada
Salí en la tele con cierto dejo de tristeza en la mirada
Y el alma enfadada

De cantar sin decir nada

Me canse de los representantes y cocteles de moda
Me canse de toda esa gente que dice que te adora
Das la espalda y te ignora
Me harté de no ser el mismo

Me compré unos cuantos amigos una novia y un perro
Los amigos y la novia se fueron
Solo me quedo el perro que no tiene prejuicios

Y me acepta como soy

Por eso vine a este bar y aquí me pagan diez mil pesos la hora
Tengo un cuarto con balcón y hasta una chica que me adora
Y es tanta mi fe, que aunque no tengo jardín
Ya compré una podadora

Y es tanta mi fe que aunque no tengo jardín
Ya compré una podadora

Nocturnal Animal

Being a nocturnal animal was a beautiful routine, darling.
Conquering Jet-Set girls or street corner women.
And they're not the same thing, sweetheart,
With a difference in price, you see.

Entering a bar without knowing anyone or being known.
Singing a song and waiting for the complimentary drink,
Which always came, my love.
It was my philosophy.

Until a producer, according to him, did me the favor,
Of recording an album for me.
He put inspiration into a computer, you know,
And that fire of freedom, in a refrigerator.

They told me, "Take off those jeans and that denim shirt, honey,"
"We'll have to change your look, because nobody approves of that one."
"You'll have a new image," they said,
"And a prosperous career."

Always looking like a recently bought pet, babe,
I appeared on TV with a certain hint of sadness in my eyes,
And an angered soul.

From singing without saying anything, my dear.

I got tired of the representatives and fashionable cocktails, sweetheart.
I got tired of all those people who say they adore you,
You turn your back and they ignore you.
I got sick of not being myself.

I bought myself a few friends, a girlfriend and a dog, honey.
The friends and the girlfriend left.
Only the dog remained, who has no prejudices,

And accepts me as I am.

That's why I came to this bar, and here they pay me ten thousand pesos an hour, darling.
I have a room with a balcony and even a girl who adores me.
And my faith is so strong, that even though I don't have a garden,
I already bought a lawnmower.

And my faith is so strong, that even though I don't have a garden,
I already bought a lawnmower.
