|
| ah&i´va ese consejo de mi padre:

|
| tambi&e´n se me cae el pelo como a todo el mundo.
| I also lose my hair like everyone else.

| Si cre&i´ste que era un tipo alucinante,
| If you thought he was an amazing guy,
|
| pues me sabe mal decirte que te has equivocado.

|
| Y dime quien te ha dicho, que soy un t&i´o importante.
| And tell me who told you that I'm an important guy.
|
| Y dime quien te ha dicho que soy alucinante.
| And tell me who told you I'm amazing.
|
| Y dime quien te ha dicho,… | And tell me who told you... |
