Imperfeccions - Los Chikos Del Maiz

They say in the neighborhood Who are those three?I diuen per el barri Qui són eixos tres?
The usual unemployed, the tackiest of the monthEls aturats de sempre, els horteres del mes
I'm laughing at who's in front of meJo estic riguent-me de qui està davant de mi
In that mirror, killing complexes, wanting myself like thisDins d'eixe espill, matant complexos, volent-me així
Seriousness is too serious not to make fun of itLa serietat és massa seria pa no fer-li broma
Simplicity is synonymous with being a personLa senzillesa és sinònim de ser persona
Laughing until we're hoarse, with Rodri and TonyRiguent fins a quedar afònics, amb Rodri I Tony
Coming back drunk from Cabanyal to BeniTornant borraxos des del Cabanyal a Beni
They're telling you to be tough, that you're a manT'estan diguent que sigues dur, que ets un home
That you hide the pain, and boast about your assetsQue amagues el dolor, I fardes de patrimoni
Naturalness is a crime, things of the devilLa naturalitat és crim, coses del dimoni
Roots and wings, thanks mom, power of womenArrel I ales, gràcies mama, poder de dones
Weaknesses make you strongDebilitats et fan fort

Love has lies, life has deathL'amor té la mentira, la vida té la mort
Don't let them annul you, it's not a tunnel with no way outQue no t'anul•len, no es un tunel sense eixida
Willpower and time rule, not luckManen la voluntat I el temps, no la sort
They rule as one, the three you feelManen a una, els tres que sents
Take this shit, smokePren d'esta merda, fuma
Drink rum, rock and funk, these bastardsBeuen del ron, del rock I el fonk, estos cabrons
Overwhelm youT'abrumen
And always proud of our class, grassroots militantsI sempre orgull de classe, militants de base
In love with rapping until it passesEnamorats de rapejar fins que se vos passe

And from Sants to Valencia they're heardI des de Sants fins a Valencia s'escolten
The resistance that opens the way and the doorsLa resistència que obri el pas I les portes
Ohhh whether for good or for badOhhh som per a bé o per a mal
Imperfections, they're real and they're oursImperfeccions, son reals I son nostres
More human, more realI més humans, I més reals

Two from the land and one from the neighborhoodDos de la terreta I un del barri
Plan-B on the beat, shake your bodyPlan-B al beat, shake your body
With a shirt, at Can BatllóAmb camisa, a Can Batlló
Ice and siphon in this gray lifeGel I sifó en aquesta vida grisa
Slaves to merchandisingEsclaus del mercadeig
We carry the anger to the palacesPortem el cabreig fins als palaus
We didn't come to make peaceNo hem vingut a fer les paus
Summer without money and you in the third postgraduateD'estiuet sense pasta I tu al tercer postgrau
I'm losing it all, sick of 45s and LPsEstic perdent enters, malalt de 45 I LP
Kid, we're making paper airplanes with ourNen, estem fent avions de paper amb les
Miseries and your clichésNostres misèries I els vostres clitxés
Shut up, it's Apache music, with ToniCalla, es música apatxe, amb el Toni
Panxo and cassalla at peaceEl Panxo I la cassalla a paxes
Valencia is more than ska and grallaValència és més que ska I gralla
They don't close at 3, Violence is a scoundrelNo xapen a les 3, Violència es canalla
We open cracks, and if the plan failsObrim escletxes, I si el plan falla
We break the siege and don't want a medalTrenquem el setge I no volem medalla
In love with this shit until the graveEnamorat d'aquesta merda fins la tomba
If shame alienates, don't break it downSi la vergonya al•liena no ho esfondre

The bearded guy with the nasal voice arrivedLlegó el chico de la barba y de la voz nasal
The one who fills your house and tires the bartenderEl que llena tu casal y cansa al barman
With flip-flops and swim trunks, with the attitude of a winnerCon chanclas y un bañador, con la actitud del ganador
With this smell of alcohol and a smile intactCon este olor a alcohol y la sonrisa intacta
And let's defend joy and imperfectionY defendamos la alegría y la imperfección
Rebellion and the beauty of mistakesLa rebeldía y la belleza que tiene el error
Love for a causeEl amor por una causa
With the head always held high, giving our soul in every songCon la cabeza siempre alta, entregando el alma en cada canción
I don't write to be on Radio 3, no wayQue yo no escribo para sonar en Radio 3, qué va
I write out of necessity, to calm the stressEscribo por necesidad, pa' calmar el estrés
Far from interest, without thinking about what they'll sayLejos del interés, sin pensar en qué dirán
With all serenity and a hint of shynessCon toda serenidad y un punto de timidez
And those fierce criticisms, I don't know what they wantY esas críticas feroces yo no sé qué quieren
They seek to silence our voices and see they can'tBuscan acallar nuestras voces y ven que no pueden
They're looking to make me angry and lose my coolEstán buscando que me enfade y pierda los papeles
But they don't know that I thrive when they hurt mePero no saben que yo me crezco cuando me hieren
And then I bring out the commitment, I bring out the rageY entonces saco el compromiso, saco la rabia
Tired of so many submissive, so much arroganceCansado de tanto sumiso, tanta arrogancia
Tired of being slaves, being forgottenCansados de ser esclavos, ser olvidados
And in love with rapping until losing speechY enamorados de rapear hasta perder el habla
