Translation of the song lyrics Crónicas de un Gay - El Barrio

Crónicas de un Gay (original)

(Si el amar libremente es pecado
He pecado libremente por amar?
«NA» mas fue ver la luz
Lo bautizaron de sinvergüenza
Sin camisita y sin canesu
Pero Manuel juega con muñecas
Nunca ha visto el cielo azul
Siempre tuvo indiferencia
Aunque con una inquietud
Vestía de blanco sus inocencias
No tuvo norte ni tuvo sur
Pero muy clara sus ideas
«NA» mas fue ver la luz
Y presagiaron su adolescencia
Que llevaría en esclavitud
Como castigo y penitencia
Amanerada su aptitud
La sociedad no le importaba si
Algún dia lo trataba
Con desprecio y con ausencia
Sin camisita y sin canesu
Pero Manuel juega con muñecas
ESTRIBILLO
Y que gracia le da
Ver señores que esconden tras la sotana unas
Ideas equivocadas
A la que enseño el señor
Le da vergüenza como imponen su doctrina
Crucifican a la vida y hablen en pos del amor
Es imposible que en el siglo veintiuno
Todavia guarden ayuno y vallan de antipecador
Mas le valdria un examen de conciencia
Vaya hacer que su excelencia
Sea «acusao» de dictador
«NA» mas fue ver la luz
Lo bautizaron de sinvergüenza
Manuel tiene los ojos puesto en su madre
Por que le da reparo hablar con su padre
Le da tanta penita
Que se entere que su niño
Ha cambiado de ser hombre
A ser un hermafrodita
Aunque no teme que la vida
Lo tache mariquita
«NA» mas fue ver la luz
Y sin reparo
Sabia que su cuerpo estaba equivocado
No busca culpable
Y señala con el dedo
Ni ha pedido explicaciones a algo
Que es inexplicable
Se mira ante el espejo
Y se siente invulnerable
ESTRIBILLO

(translation)

(If loving freely is a sin
Have I sinned freely to love?
«NA» but it was seeing the light
They called him a scoundrel
No shirt and no yoke
But Manuel plays with dolls
He has never seen the blue sky
He always had indifference
albeit with a trepidation
He dressed his innocence in white
She had no north nor had she south
But his ideas are very clear.
«NA» but it was seeing the light
And presaged his adolescence
What would I wear in bondage?
As punishment and penance
Affected your fitness
Society didn't care if
One day I treated him
With contempt and with absence
No shirt and no yoke
But Manuel plays with dolls
CHORUS
And how graceful it is
See gentlemen who hide behind the cassock
wrong ideas
To which the Lord taught
He is ashamed as they impose their doctrine
Crucify life and speak for love
It is impossible that in the twenty-first century
Still keep fast and be anti-sinful
It would be better for him to examine his conscience
Go make your Excellency
Be "accused" of being a dictator
«NA» but it was seeing the light
They called him a scoundrel
Manuel has his eyes on his mother
Why does he hesitate to talk to his father?
He gives her so much pain
Let him know that his child
He has changed from being a man
to be a hermaphrodite
Although he does not fear that life
cross it out ladybug
«NA» but it was seeing the light
and without hesitation
He knew his body was wrong
He doesn't look guilty
And he points his finger
He has not even asked for explanations for something
what is inexplicable
He looks at himself in the mirror
And he feels invulnerable
CHORUS
