I Saw Myself (Self-Portrait)

Ricardo Arjona

Yo Me Vi (Autorretrato)

Yo me vi
Marginal y reprimido
Izquierdoso y vengativo
Y hoy parezco un maniquí

Yo me vi
Viva el Che en la camiseta
Y un milico en bayoneta
Persiguiéndome a morir

Yo me vi
De transporte colectivo
De bandera alternativo
Y el futuro, un bisturí

Yo me vi
De agremiado socialista
De esos que hoy son anarquistas
Y van a Vail a hacer esquí

Yo me vi
Convertido en nuevo rico
Y esta mierda, testifico
No es del todo para mí (ey)

Yo me vi
De portada en la revista
Yo que fui telegrafista
Hoy, voy de divo a lo Dalí

Yo me vi
De Ferrari en Monte Carlo
Todo un Yupi, pa' envidiarlo
Y un amor para elegir

Yo me vi
Apostándole al mercado
Yo que estaba desahuciado
¿Qué carajos hago aquí?

Yo me vi
De proletario y vanguardista
Al jet set de los artistas
Y en el medio, me perdí

Yo me vi
Triste y tan decepcionado
Hoy, que sé que los dos lados
Se aprovecharon de mí

I Saw Myself (Self-Portrait)

I saw myself
Marginal and repressed
Leftist and vengeful
And today I look like a mannequin

I saw myself
Long live Che on the shirt
And a soldier with a bayonet
Chasing me to death

I saw myself
Using public transportation
With an alternative flag
And the future, a scalpel

I saw myself
As a socialist member
One of those who are anarchists today
And go to Vail to ski

I saw myself
Turned into a new rich
And this shit, I testify
It's not entirely for me (hey)

I saw myself
On the cover of the magazine
I who was a telegraph operator
Today, I go from divo to Dalí

I saw myself
In a Ferrari in Monte Carlo
A complete Yuppie, to envy
And a love to choose

I saw myself
Betting on the market
I who was hopeless
What the hell am I doing here?

I saw myself
From proletarian to avant-garde
To the jet set of artists
And in between, I got lost

I saw myself
Sad and so disappointed
Today, knowing that both sides
Took advantage of me
