Cosas de La Vida

Things of Life

Cosas de La Vida

I wake up very nervousMe despierto muy nerviosa
In my room there is a shadowEn mi cuarto hay una sombra
It's a thief with a rough faceEs un ladron de cara tosca
Who approaches and touches meQue se acerca y que me toca
I shout at him not to catch meYo le grito no me coja
Over there he will find my bagPor allá hayara mi bolsa
His gaze is dangerousSu mirada es peligrosa
He says he wants something elseDice que quiere otra cosa
If he wants something moreSi quiere algo más
Bring me rosesQue me traiga rosas

Suddenly the alarm clockDe pronto el despertador
Wakes me up inopportunelyMe despierta inoportuno
And I angrily smash itY con furia lo reviento
Against the floor in a secondContra el piso en un segundo

Things, things, things, thingsCosas, cosas, cosas, cosas
Things of lifeCosas de la vida
Things that happen to usCosas que nos pasan
Things you don't enjoyCosas que no gozas
Things that slip awayCosas que se te escapan

In one leap I get upDe un solo salto me levanto
I soap myself but don't showerMe enjabono y no me baño
It's almost seven fifteenVan a dar la siete y cuarto
I'll be late for workLlegare tarde al trabajo
Finally, I arrive at the officePor fin llego a la oficina
The boss sees me, shoutsEl jefe que me ve, que grita
He tells me to go to his officeSu despacho que me meta
With a notebook in handCon todo y una libreta
He pinches me from behindMe pellisca por atras
And I won't let it happenY no me pienso dejar
And I make a confessionY me se una confesión
My heart skips a beatSe me para el corazón
Whether we have a relationshipQue tengamos relación
Or I look for a jobO busque colocación

Things, things, things, thingsCosas, cosas, cosas, cosas
Things of lifeCosas de la vida
Things that happen to usCosas que nos pasan
Things you don't enjoyCosas que no gozas
Things that slip awayCosas que se te escapan

And I walk outY me salgo caminando
I'll have to look for a jobTendre que buscar trabajo
I look aroundMiro para todos lados
There are some tacos on the cornerEn la esquina hay unos tacos
And even though they taste almost like dogY aunque saben casi a perro
The taco vendor looks at me meanlyEl taquero me ve feo
Because I don't have moneyPorque no traigo dinero
But he tells me a secretPero me dice un secreto

I can pay youTe puedo pagar
With just one kissCon un solo beso
The mustached taco vendorEl taquero bigotón
Stumbled backDe trancaso se callo
I put my legs in actionPuse piernas en accion
And got on a busY me subi a un camion

Things, things, things, thingsCosas, cosas, cosas, cosas
Things of lifeCosas de la vida
Things that happen to usCosas que nos pasan
Things you don't enjoyCosas que no gozas
Things that slip awayCosas que se te escapan

In school, the teacherEn la escuela, el profesor
Wants the whole lessonQuiere toda la lección
To give me an AQue me pone MB
If I behave wellSi es que yo me porto bien
He says to passDice que para pasar
I have to experimentTengo que experimentar
In sexual educationEn la educación sexual
And he would like to help meY el me quisiera ayudar

He will fail meMe va a reprobar
Because I don't teach anythingPues no enseño nada
I want to escapeMe quiero escapar
I'm scaredEstoy espantada
What will mom sayQue dira mama
What will people sayQue dira la gente
I would like to findQuiseiera encontrar
Someone differentAlguien diferente

The advice I give youEl consejo que les doy
Couldn't be betterNo podria ser mejor
Take care of your situationCuiden bien su situación
For the good of the nationPor el bien de la nacion
