Jotera lo seras tú

You will be the joker

Jotera lo seras tú

They say they have said they sayDicen que han dicho que dicen
They say they have been sayingDicen que han ido diciendo
And between hints and rumorsY entre dimes y diretes
You carry the flask fullLlevas la petaca llena
Whether listen, whether lookQue si oye, que si mira
Whether pay attention to thisQue si fíjate qué cosa
And with this nonsenseY con esta tontería
I have finished a stanzaYa he terminado una estrofa
Let them talk as long as they don't actQue dizan mientras no hazan
That's what my grandfather taught meMe enseñaba a mí mi abuelo
If you entertain yourself in thisQue si en esto te entretienes
You won't learn to flyNo aprenderás a volar
You will be the jokerJotera lo serás tú
You will be the jokerJotera lo serás tú
Go and tell your motherAnda y díselo a tu madre
I have no qualmsQue a mí no me duelen prendas
About singing to you in rancherasDe cantarte por rancheras
Or in chotis or in ZuluO por chotis o en zulú
If there is no sensitivitySi no hay sensibilidad
To grasp the essencePara captar el sustrato
Of musical languageDel lenguaje musical
Then dedicate yourself to listeningPues dedícate a escuchar
To what you have always likedLo que siempre te ha gustado
So they don't suffer anymorePara que no sufran más
Mosquitoes bite, bitePican, pican los mosquitos
They bite with great subtletyPican con gran disimulo
Some target the understandingUnos las entendederas
And others bite the prideY otros pican el orgullo
Be it for h or for jSea por hache o por jota
It will be the y or the zSerá la y griega o la zeta
I have fought many battlesYa libré muchas batallas
And let go of many cartsY solté muchas carretas
Let them talk as long as they don't act...Que dizan mientras no hazan...
