Lyrics

Tenía los pies diminutos,
y, unos, ojos, color verde marihuana,
a los catorce fue reina del instituto,
el curso que repetí,
las del octavo derecha comentaron:
«otra que sale rana»,
cuando, en «Crónicas Marcianas», la vieron
haciendo streap-tease.
En sus quimeras de porcelanosa
conquistaba a Al Paccino,
los de «el Atleti»… no éramos gran cosa
para su merced,
si, la chiquita de Mariquita Pérez,
tuviera un buen padrino,
los productores, que saben de mujeres,
le darían un papel.
Debutóde fulana de tal
en un vil melodrama,
con sus veinte minutos de fama
retiróa su mamá,
el guión le exigía, cada vez, más
escenas de cama,
por Vallecas, ya nadie la llama:
Barbi Superestar.
Barbi Superestar.
Al infierno se va por atajos,
jeringas, recetas.
Ayer, hecha un pingajo,
me dijo, en el «tigre"de un bar:
«¿Dónde estáel rock and roll
, que, me hiciste,
cuando eras poeta?»
«Terminaba tan triste
que nunca lo pude empezar».
Por esos labios, que sabían a puchero
de pensiones inmundas,
habría matado yo, que, cuando muero,
ya nunca es por amor.
Se masticaba, en los billares, que, el Atleti,
había bajado a segunda,
por la M-30, derrapaba el caballo
de la desilusión.
Debutóde fulana de tal
en un vil melodrama,
con sus veinte minutos de fama
retiróa su mamá,
el guión le exigía, cada vez, más
escenas de cama,
por Vallecas, ya todavía la llama:
Barbi Superestar.

Lyrics translation

She had tiny feet,
and, ones, eyes, marijuana green,
at the age of fourteen she was Queen of high school,
the course I repeated,
the eighth right commented:
"another frog coming out»,
when, in "Martian Chronicles," they saw her
doing streap-tease.
In his chimeras of porcelanosa
he conquered Al Paccino,
the Atleti guys ... we weren't much of a thing.
for your mercy,
Yes, Mariquita Perez's little girl,
had a good godfather,
producers, who know about women,
they'd give him a part.
Debut of such a slut
in a vile melodrama,
with its twenty minutes of Fame
he retired his mom,
the script demanded more and more
bed scenes,
for Vallecas, no one calls her anymore:
Barbi Superstar.
Barbi Superstar.
To hell goes by shortcuts,
syringes, prescriptions.
Yesterday, made a splash,
he told me, in the "Tiger"of a bar:
"Where's rock and roll
what, you made me,
when you were a poet?»
"It ended so sad
that I could never start it."
By those lips, which tasted like puchero
of unclean pensions,
I would have killed myself, who, when I die,
it's never for love anymore.
He chewed, in the billiards, that, the Atleti,
had come down to second,
by the M-30, the horse skidded
of disappointment.
Debut of such a slut
in a vile melodrama,
with its twenty minutes of Fame
he retired his mom,
the script demanded more and more
bed scenes,
by Vallecas, she's still calling:
Barbi Superstar.
