but not cut my hair, I'd rather be deadpero no cortarme el pelo mejor me quedo muerto
I explained that it's trendyle esplique que esta de moda
to grow your hair outdejarse la melena
and she said what's wrong with you, you look like an old ladyy ella dijo que te pasa si pareces una vieja
since I didn't cut it, I waited for her to fall asleepcomo no me recorte espero a que me durmiera
and she left me with a bad haircuty me dejo bien trasquilado
with one of her scissorscon una de sus tijeras

and that's how I spent it, on a Thursdayy asi me la pase, en pleno jueves
everyone hanging out and me stuck at ninetodo mundo cotorreando y yo con todo y de las nueve
more days passed without her bothering mepasaron otros dias que no me fastidio
because she lost her denturesporque la caja de los dientes se le perdio
and even though she scolded me, it seemed like she wantedy aunque ella regañarme parece que queria
everything she said, nothing was understoodde todo lo que hablaba, nada se le entendia
so I could restentonces pude descansar
but my vacation was endingpero ya las vacaciones se me iban acabar
and since I couldn't think of anything else to doy como ya no encontraba que mas inventar
I pretended a pain was killing mefingi que un dolor me queria matar
to see if I could get hospitalizedaver si asi me hospitalizaba
and then easily escape from therey entonces facil de ai me escapaba
but the tables turned on mepero se me voltio la tortilla
because she started giving me medicineporque ella me empezo a dar una medicina
and forced me to stay in bedy me obligo a estar en la cama acostado
until she thought I had recoveredhasta que ella pensara que me habia recuperado

but I found the solution to all my problemspero encontre la solucion a todos mis problemas
and it's that I have to accepty esque tengo que aceptar
that I am my grandma's grandsonque soy el nieto de mi abuela
total, after so much protestingtotal, despues de tanto protestar
when I got back to my town, I started thinkingcuando llegue a mi canton me puse a pensar
that she's not what she seems, she's really goodque ella no es lo que parece, ella es bien woena
and everything she does is just for me to learny todo lo que hace es nomas pa que yo aprenda
but I rememberedpero me recordaba yo
all the scolding she gave mede todos los regaños que ella a mi me dio
and every time I wanted to partyy de cada vez que yo ubiera querido reventon
and had to sit here on the couchy me tenia que awuantar aqui sentado en el sillon
my boss didn't know how I had spent itmi jefa no sabia como yo lo abia pasado
she thought I had enjoyed it allse creia que too yo me lo habia gozado
and dared to ask when I was going back therey se atrevio a preguntar que cuando yo volvia pa ya
and I said: girl, in like 30 years!y yo le dije: mija como entre 30 años mas!
