Jotera lo seras tú
Dicen que han dicho que dicen
Dicen que han ido diciendo
Y entre dimes y diretes
Llevas la petaca llena
Que si oye, que si mira
Que si fíjate qué cosa
Y con esta tontería
Ya he terminado una estrofa
Que dizan mientras no hazan
Me enseñaba a mí mi abuelo
Que si en esto te entretienes
No aprenderás a volar
Jotera lo serás tú
Jotera lo serás tú
Anda y díselo a tu madre
Que a mí no me duelen prendas
De cantarte por rancheras
O por chotis o en zulú
Si no hay sensibilidad
Para captar el sustrato
Del lenguaje musical
Pues dedícate a escuchar
Lo que siempre te ha gustado
Para que no sufran más
Pican, pican los mosquitos
Pican con gran disimulo
Unos las entendederas
Y otros pican el orgullo
Sea por hache o por jota
Será la y griega o la zeta
Ya libré muchas batallas
Y solté muchas carretas
Que dizan mientras no hazan...
You will be the joker
They say they have said they say
They say they have been saying
And between hints and rumors
You carry the flask full
Whether listen, whether look
Whether pay attention to this
And with this nonsense
I have finished a stanza
Let them talk as long as they don't act
That's what my grandfather taught me
If you entertain yourself in this
You won't learn to fly
You will be the joker
You will be the joker
Go and tell your mother
I have no qualms
About singing to you in rancheras
Or in chotis or in Zulu
If there is no sensitivity
To grasp the essence
Of musical language
Then dedicate yourself to listening
To what you have always liked
So they don't suffer anymore
Mosquitoes bite, bite
They bite with great subtlety
Some target the understanding
And others bite the pride
Be it for h or for j
It will be the y or the z
I have fought many battles
And let go of many carts
Let them talk as long as they don't act...
