What a Shame

Qué Oso

A tequila or holy water?¿Un tequila o agua bendita?
What do you need, a cure or a band-aid?¿Qué se ocupa, cura o curita?
Shut up, visitors are comingCállense, que llega visita
What a perfect familyQué familia tan perfectita

What you don't have, you paintLo que no se tiene, se pinta
Cover with a rug or blanketTapen con tapete o cobija
The uncomfortable truth that itches youLa verdad incómoda y te pica
If it's not your size or fit (amen)Si no es de tu talla o medida (amén)

I grew up with complexesYo crecí con complejos
I don't ask for adviceYo no pido consejos
Not for me or egoNo por mí ni por ego
But you don't even care about my funeral (skrr)Pero usted ni vela mi entierro (skrr)

They told me I wouldn't go to mass anymoreA mí me dijeron que yo ya no llegara más a misa
Because I kissed a girlPorque le di un beso yo a una chica
And now—Y aho—
And suddenly it goes awayY ahora de repente se le quita
The straightened hair, remember I used to be an altar girlLo persinado, acuérdense que yo era monaguilla

Where did the Catholicism go? Erotic thoughts¿Y a dónde se le fue lo católico? Pensamiento erótico
That priest has a tail to step onEse padre tiene cola que pisar
Why judge so much, if it's so similar?¿Qué tanto juzgas, si es tan similar?
There's so much gossip to avoidHay tanto chisme que hay que evitar

My mother is not a saint and I'm not stupidMi madre no es santa y yo no soy tonta
Such nosy people, why does it matter so much?Chusma tanaca, ¿qué tanto le importa?
She listens to gossip but is deaf to helpPa'l chisme sí escucha y pa' ayudar 'tá sorda

They called me ugly, a fatsoY a mí me dijo fea, una gorda
And they called me fat, an ugly oneY a mí me dijo gorda, una fea
They said: Tomboy, tom—Me dijo: Marimacho, mari—
Even a poor ragpicker looked at me weird, but he's already in his fortiesTambién me miró feo un trapero que es pobre, pero ya está cuarentón

What a shame, wellQué oso, pues
What a shameQué oso
Oh, what a shameAy, qué oso
Yeah, what a shameYah, qué oso
I want my wallet to be fullQuiero mi cartera bien ballena

Oh, grandma, sorryAy, abuela, perdón
If it were up to you, I wouldn't even have a good flight or planeSi por usted fuera, no tuviera ni buen vuelo ni avión

Mmm, oh, what a shameMmm, ay, qué oso
The family, a bunch of gossipsLa familia, bola de chismosos
With so much prayer and fussQue con tanto rezo y rebozo
They can't get rid of the envious ones (yes)No se les quita los envidiosos (sí)

To top it off, they do it allPa' acabarla, la hacen de toso
They throw in a little, lying unclesLe echan un poco, tíos mentirosos
Between us, they're so jealous, they throw everything inAquí entre nos, son tanto celosos, se echan de todo
Even the mud comes out, get the FabulosoSalió hasta el lodo, saca el fabuloso

And let's clean up the dirtY vamos a sacar la mugre
Let's bring out the truths even if everyone sweatsVamos a sacar verdades aunque todos suden
I don't give a damn, my whole life they spoke ill of me and I didn't do anything to anyoneA mí ya me vale madre', to'a mi vida hablaron mal y yo no le hice nada a nadie
What a family I hadQué familia tuve

If I smoked marijuanaQue si yo fumé marihuana
If my uncle does coke in the bathroomSi mi tío hace coca en el baño
They don't like who I go out withNo les parece con quien salgo
You have another child in the neighborhoodUste' tiene otro hijo en el barrio

Look, here neither saints nor whoresMira, aquí ni santas ni putas
Not here nor there, there's no route hereNi pa'llá ni pa'cá, aquí no hay ruta
And if you don't like it, don't be surprisedY si no le gusta, no se admire
Look at Chile, the looks insultMire al Chile, las miradas insultan

From looks to looks, measure, why so high?Y de miradas a miradas, mide, ¿para qué tan alzaditas?
If there's a problem, I think the blow warns (ha)Si hay problema', yo pienso que el golpe avisa (ja)
There's no band-aid, heal, heal, little whoreNo hay curita, sana, sana, ramerita
If there is, criticize, but the dance can't be taken awaySi hay, critica, pero lo bailado no se quita

I want my wallet to be fullQuiero mi cartera bien ballena
Oh, grandma, sorry (yeah, yeah, yeah)Ay, abuela, perdón (yah, yah, yah)
