Trapos sucios
Conozco a un distinguido señor
de esos que creen tener siempre la razón,
es un hombre muy respetado
su foto cuelga en la pared de un despacho.
Confunde el blanco con el negro
y así le luce siempre el pelo
y su ambición
la econde en un cajón.
Siempre guarda la compostura
aunque dicen que a su mujer la tortura
pero no creen que sea un mal tipo
porque va a misa todos los domingos.
Confunde el blanco con el negro...
Quiere subir muy deprisa
y si le estorbas te aplasta, te pisa,
mira el mundo detrás de un puro
no reconoce tener trapos sucios.
Confunde el blanco con el negro ...
Dirty Laundry
I know a distinguished gentleman
One of those who always think they're right
He's a highly respected man
His picture hangs on the wall of an office
He confuses white with black
And that's how his hair always looks
And his ambition
He hides it in a drawer
He always keeps his composure
Although they say he tortures his wife
But they don't think he's a bad guy
Because he goes to mass every Sunday
He confuses white with black...
He wants to rise very quickly
And if you get in his way, he crushes you, steps on you
He looks at the world behind a cigar
He doesn't acknowledge having dirty laundry
He confuses white with black...
