Translation of the song lyrics Trapos sucios - Fito & Fitipaldis

Trapos sucios (original)

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…

Trapos sucios (translation)

I know a distinguished gentleman
Of those who believe they are always right
He is a highly respected man
His photo of him hangs on the wall of an office
confuse white with black
And that's how her hair always looks
and your ambition
I hide it in a drawer
He always keeps his composure
Although they say that his wife is tortured by him
But they don't think he's a bad guy
Because he goes to mass every Sunday
Confuse white with black…
He wants to go up real fast
And if you get in the way, it crushes you, it steps on you
See the world behind a cigar
Does not recognize having dirty laundry
Confuse white with black…
