Esto no es un más que otro sarao
En el que te has colao
Con un traje alquilao
Ni siquiera me han nominao
Cuando paso a su lao
¿Qué coño le ha pasao?
This isn’t just another event
Where you slipped in
Wearing a rented suit
I haven’t even been recognised
When I walk by their side
What the hell happened?
Antes venían a verte
Ahora no pueden ni verte
Antes estabas al dente
Pisabas mucho más fuerte
Antes venían a verte
Ahora no pueden ni verte
Antes estabas al dente
Pisabas mucho más fuerte
Before, they used to come to see you
Now they can’t even see you
Before, you were sharp
You stood much stronger
Before, they used to come to see you
Now they can’t even see you
Before, you were sharp
You stood much stronger
No hace tanto que tenías la portada
En tu teta mi frase tatuada
Ahora tengo que esperar en la entrada
Ya no hay VIP, ni mesa reservada
Ya no, ya no, ya no
La gente piensa en ti como algo que pasó
“Delirios de grandeza, sueños de ambición”
¿Cómo era que empezaba mi última canción? No sé
It wasn’t long ago that you had the cover
My phrase tattooed on your chest
Now I have to wait at the entrance
There’s no more VIP, no reserved table
No more, no more, no more
People see you as something from the past
“Big dreams and ambitions”
How did my last song begin? I can’t remember
Esto no es un más que otro sarao
En el que te has colao
Con un traje alquilao (uh uh uh uh)
Ni siquiera me han nominao
Cuando paso a su lao
¿Qué coño le ha pasao?
This isn’t just another event
Where you slipped in
Wearing a rented suit (uh uh uh uh)
I haven’t even been recognised
When I walk by their side
What the hell happened?
Antes venían a verte
Ahora no pueden ni verte
Antes estabas al dente
Pisabas mucho más fuerte
Antes venían a verte (vamos, Pucho)
Ahora no pueden ni verte (ya está, ya está)
Antes estabas al dente
Pisabas mucho más fuerte (Pucho, dale, vamos, vámonos, venga)
Before, they used to come to see you
Now they can’t even see you
Before, you were sharp
You stood much stronger
Before, they used to come to see you (let’s go, Pucho)
Now they can’t even see you (it’s now, it’s now)
Before, you were sharp
You stood much stronger ( Pucho, tell him, let’s go, let’s go, come on)
