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...
