Rap del Optimista(original) |
Era un grupo de esos que ves en un garito por cien pavos; |
Coca, birra y sexo, cresta de almidón, chupa con clavos |
Eran cuatro mendas de una intensidad provocadora |
Gritándole al mundo: «¡por fían ha llegado nuestra hora!» |
Y tocaban rocanrol |
Algo inmaduro pero rocanrol |
Pelín oscuro pero rocanrol |
Bastante duro pero rocanrol |
Si no hay futuro ¡viva el rocanrol! |
Hasta que llegó el verano |
Y les presentaron a un locutor |
Que tenía un amigo arreglista |
Que era vecino de un productor |
Casado con una teclista |
Muy vanguardista |
Que era la amante |
De un elegante representante |
Que tiene un socio con mucha vista |
Pa hacer negocio |
Con los cantantes |
Y llegó la Visa, con sus chantajes |
Y empezó la prisa de los viajes |
Y se acabó la risa |
Ya no van a bares, montan sus movidas en privado |
Saben adaptarse a las exigencias del mercado; |
Seis galas hicieron con el Duque en las municipales |
Fueron los terceros de los no-sé-cuántos principales |
Ahora tocan puro pop |
Intencionado pero puro pop |
Pelín pesado pero puro pop |
Contra el pasado: ¡larga vida al pop! |
Desde que llegó el verano |
Y les presentaron a un asesor |
De imagen que estaba enrollado |
Con la sobrina de un promotor |
Cuñado de cierta modista |
Que era la esposa de un columnista |
De esa revista tan prestigiosa |
Por su talento para la cosa |
Del lanzamiento de los artistas |
Ahora van de yuppies -fotos en «Hola" — |
Juran por Snoopy, que es lo que mola |
Pasan de las groupies |
Hoy tocan el rap del optimista |
En vez del blues de la necesidad |
Hasta en la consulta del dentista |
Suenan por el hilo musical |
Quedaron con el voto portugués |
Los decimoterceros en Eurovisión |
Ellos que juraban comerse la vida |
Fue la vida y se los merendó |
Y aunque han pisado más de una mierda |
Sus zapatos de gamuza azul |
Ahora van con Lottuse sobre las moquetas |
Y a Solana lo tratan de tú |
Que nadie se sienta aludido, a mí |
Las moralinas me hacen vomitar |
Quise hacer un cuento divertido, sin |
Parecido con la realidad |
Que se quede cojo de las tres piernas |
Cierto crítico que hay por ahí |
Si miento cuando digo que nunca pido |
Consejos y jamás los di |
A no ser al tipejo ese del espejo |
Que me vacila cantidad |
A veces me hace un corte de mangas y dice |
«No hay quien te soporte, chaval» |
Al fin y al cabo lo único que pasa |
Es que necesitaba componer (pa comer) |
Una canción que terminara de una |
Maldita vez este elepé |
Ya quisiera yo, en lugar de este reggae |
Haber escrito Rapsodia en Blue |
Chelsea Hotel, Guantanamera |
Tatuaje, o She Loves you (ye, ye, ye) |
Pedro Navaja, Like a Rolling Stone |
Dos gardenias para ti |
Mira que eres canalla, No hago |
Otra cosa que pensar en ti |
Marieta, La estatua del jardín botánico |
Moon over Bourbon street |
Qué culpa tengo si a lo más que llego |
Es a Pongamos que hablo de… |
Pongamos que hablo de… |
Pongamos que hablo de… maní |
Si te quieres con tu novia divertir… |
(translation) |
It was a group of those that you see in a joint for a hundred bucks; |
Coca, beer and sex, starch crest, sucks with nails |
They were four mendas of a provocative intensity |
Shouting to the world: “our time has finally come!” |
And they played rock and roll |
Somewhat immature but rock and roll |
dark hair but rock and roll |
Pretty hard but rock and roll |
If there is no future, long live rock and roll! |
Until the summer came |
And they were introduced to an announcer |
That I had a friend who was an arranger |
That he was a neighbor of a producer |
married to a keyboardist |
very avant-garde |
who was the lover |
From an elegant representative |
Who has a partner with a lot of vision |
to do business |
with the singers |
And the Visa arrived, with its blackmail |
And the rush of travel began |
And the laughter is over |
They no longer go to bars, they make their moves in private |
They know how to adapt to market demands; |
They did six galas with the Duke in the municipal |
They were the third of the I-don't-know-how many main |
Now they play pure pop |
Intentional but pure pop |
A bit heavy but pure pop |
Against the past: long live pop! |
since summer came |
And they were introduced to an advisor |
Of image that was rolled up |
With the niece of a promoter |
Brother-in-law of a certain dressmaker |
That she was the wife of a columnist |
From that prestigious magazine |
Because of her talent for the thing |
From the release of the artists |
Now they go yuppies -photos in "Hello" — |
They swear by Snoopy, that's what he's cool about |
They go from the groupies |
Today they play the rap of the optimist |
Instead of the blues of necessity |
Even at the dentist's office |
They sound by the musical thread |
They stayed with the Portuguese vote |
The thirteenth in Eurovision |
They who swore to eat life |
It was life and he snacked on them |
And although they have stepped on more than one shit |
His blue suede shoes |
Now they go with Lottuse on the carpets |
And Solana is treated like you |
Let no one feel alluded to, me |
The moralinas make me vomit |
I wanted to make a funny story, without |
resemblance to reality |
Let him be lame in all three legs |
Some critic out there |
Yes I lie when I say I never ask |
Advice and I never gave it |
Unless it's that little guy in the mirror |
that hesitates me quantity |
Sometimes he cuts my sleeves and says |
“No one can stand you, kid” |
After all, the only thing that happens |
Is that I needed to compose (to eat) |
A song that ended with a |
damn time this lp |
I would like to, instead of this reggae |
Having written Rhapsody in Blue |
Chelsea Hotel, Guantanamera |
Tattoo, or she She Loves you (ye, ye, ye) |
Pedro Navaja, Like a Rolling Stone |
Two gardenias for you |
Look, you're a scoundrel, I don't |
another thing to think about you |
Marieta, The statue of the botanical garden |
moon over bourbon street |
What fault do I have if at the most I get |
It is Let's say I'm talking about... |
Let's say I'm talking about... |
Let's say I'm talking about... peanuts |
If you want to have fun with your girlfriend... |
