Jaque al Rey [English translation]

[Intro]

Don’t touch the Bourbons!

The stories don’t bother me, nor the sci-fi

I am the head of state w/o winning an election

Say it1, peon, my life is the bomb2

My last name is Bourbon

Don’t tell me your sins or you’ll make me yawn

I don’t know what a pick is, nor what it means to get up early

Say it, peon, my life is the bomb

My last name is Bourbon

My last name is Bourbon (Say it, peon)

My last name is Bourbon (My life is the bomb)

Say it, peon, my life is the bomb

My last name is Bourbon

Don’t touch the Bourbons!

Tomorrow Arabia

Later to Peking

I am the emissary of my country

The big deal

They’ll love me

For my public service

Everybody dance

CHECK THE KING!

The third is on his way already

CHECK THE KING!

For you, for me, for the king

CHECK THE KING!

The third one can be felt

CHECK THE KING!

For you, for me, depose the king

I don’t give a shit if you’re going to be challenged

I sleep in the Zarzuela3, or the Royal Palace

Say it, peon, my life is the bomb

My last name is Bourbon

My last name is Bourbon (Say it, peon)

My last name is Bourbon (My life is the bomb)

Say it, peon, my life is the bomb

My last name is Bourbon

I, as Head of State of Spain,

Guarantee that the law will be equal for all

I guarantee the union of the country

Respect of our democracy and the Constitution

Freedom of expression

Respect of human rights

The separation of powers

And of course the wellbeing of my people

Ole! Ole!
