Lyrics

Nada tienes que temer,
al mal tiempo buena cara,
la Constitucin te ampara,
la justicia te defiende,
la polica te guarda,
el sindicato te apoya,
el sistema te respalda
y los pajaritos cantan
y las nubes se levantan.
Cruza los dedos,
toca madera.
No pases por debajo de esa escalera.
Y evita el trece
y al gato negro.
No te levantes con el pie izquierdo.
Y mtete en el bolsillo
envuelta en tu carta astral
una pata de conejo
por si se quiebra un espejo
o se derrama la sal.
Y vigila el horscopo
y el biorritmo.
Ni se te ocurra vestirte de amarillo.
Y si a pesar de todo
la vida te cuelga
el no hay billetes
recuerda
que pisar mierda
trae buena suerte.
Toca madera,
toca madera.
Cruza los dedos,
toca madera.
Nada tienes que temer…
Arriba los corazones…
Nada tienes que temer
pero nunca estn de ms ciertas precauciones.
Cruza los dedos,
toca madera.
No pases por debajo de esa escalera.
Y evita el trece
y al gato negro.
No te levantes con el pie izquierdo.
Que tambin hacen la siesta
los rbitros y los jueces.
Con tu olivo y tu paloma
camina por la maroma
entre el amor y la muerte.
Y vigila el horscopo
y el biorritmo.
Ni se te ocurra vestirte de amarillo.
Y si a pesar de todo
la vida te cuelga
el «no hay billetes»
recuerda
que pisar mierda
trae buena suerte.
Toca madera,
toca madera.
Cruza los dedos,
toca madera.
Y ajstate los machos,
respira hondo,
traga saliva,
toma carrera,
y abre la puerta,
sal a la calle,
cruza los dedos,
toca madera.
Toca madera,
toca madera.
Cruza los dedos,
toca madera.

Lyrics translation

Nothing to fear,
to bad weather good face,
the Constitution protects you,
Justice defends you,
the police are watching you,
the union supports you,
the system supports you
and the little birds sing
and the clouds rise.
Cross your fingers,
touch wood.
Don't go under that ladder.
And avoid the thirteen
and the Black Cat.
Don't get up on your left foot.
And you're in your pocket
wrapped in your astral letter
a rabbit's foot
in case a mirror breaks
or you spill the Salt.
And watch the horscope
and the biorhythm.
Don't even think about wearing yellow.
And if in spite of everything
life hangs over you
the No Tickets
remember
that trample shit
it brings good luck.
Touch wood,
touch wood.
Cross your fingers,
touch wood.
Nothing to fear…
Up the hearts…
Nothing to fear
but there are never any more precautions.
Cross your fingers,
touch wood.
Don't go under that ladder.
And avoid the thirteen
and the Black Cat.
Don't get up on your left foot.
Who also take a nap
the rbitros and the judges.
With your olive tree and your Dove
walk along the maroma
between love and death.
And watch the horscope
and the biorhythm.
Don't even think about wearing yellow.
And if in spite of everything
life hangs over you
the " No Tickets»
remember
that trample shit
it brings good luck.
Touch wood,
touch wood.
Cross your fingers,
touch wood.
And ajstate the males,
take a deep breath,
swallow saliva,
take race,
and open the door,
get out on the street,
cross your fingers,
touch wood.
Touch wood,
touch wood.
Cross your fingers,
touch wood.
