Lyrics

A las serpientes no se las ve llegar
Uno solo deja el tiempo pasar
Uno bebe con amigos y se olvida de que hay gente mala
Dejan el país en llamas
Tienen cuentas en las islas Bahamas
Llevan puesto ese oro que es nuestro esa es gente mala
Las miserias de los otros les arregla el día
Tienen treinta mil maneras de romper tu alegría
Desde su vereda nos miran pasar
Y cuando todo esta en ruinas desconchan champagne
De chiquito aprendiste a confiar y no depende de tu clase social
Si en vez de una paloma un cuervo vuela a tu ventana
Las miserias de los otros les arregla el día
Tienen treinta mil maneras de romper tu alegría
Los chicos no saben lo que hace papá
Y cuando se enteran no quieren saber
La verdad no te quiero amargar pero algunos no aprendieron a amar
Vos viví como sabes y no olvides que
Siempre hay gente mala riéndose en tu cara
Siempre hay gente mala y dejan el país en llamas
Gente mala esperando a mañana

Lyrics translation

Snakes can't be seen coming
One only lets time pass
You drink with friends and forget that there are bad people
They leave the country on fire
They have accounts in the Bahamas
They're wearing that gold that's ours that's bad people
The miseries of others fixes their day
They have thirty thousand ways to break your joy
From their sidewalk they watch us pass by
And when it's all in ruins they spill champagne
When you were a kid, you learned to trust and it doesn't depend on your social class.
If instead of a dove a crow flies to your window
The miseries of others fixes their day
They have thirty thousand ways to break your joy
Kids don't know what dad does.
And when they find out they don't want to know
The truth I don't want to bitter you but some didn't learn to love
You lived as you know and do not forget that
There's always bad people laughing in your face
There are always bad people and they leave the country on fire
Bad people waiting for tomorrow
