Sol forastero [English translation]

You who never wanted to hear about America

Now you go and say you want to go there

But you don't even know where California is

Now you tell me you're dying to get a tan there

Underneath a strange sun

Underneath a foreign sun

And now all of a sudden you put on a "New York" t-shirt

But you have no idea about the weather there

Underneath a foreign sun, I'll be an outsider

Underneath a dark black sky, I'll get to speak in foreigner

But what a myth, hey!

Don't give me that, stripes and stars!

What are you talking about, girl?

Look, you are blinding yourself

But what freedom?

Some kind of culture

But what do you mean "gringo mandingo,"

what do you mean "hard cock"?!

What do you mean president, or skyscraper?

Some society that lives without sweet talk

What the fuck are you saying? Look at how much you eat

All right then! Yes, go, go, go --

they'll teach you, hope you can take it! Eh eh

Just yesterday you were saying

We'll go to the beach tomorrow

Explain then, what is this intercontinental

flight business?

Dear, let's talk this over slowly

Life is sad there

You sleep little, you spend lots

And you eat that canary grass bread

Underneath a foreign sun, I'll be an outsider

Underneath a dark black sky, I'll get to speak in foreigner

But what a myth, hey!

Don't give me that stuff about stripes and stars!

What are you talking about, girl?

Look, you are blinding yourself

But what freedom?

Some kind of culture

But what do you mean "gringo mandingo,"

what do you mean "hard cock"?!

What do you mean president, or skyscraper?

Some society that lives without sweet talk

What the fuck are you saying? Look at how much you eat

All right then! Yes, go, go, go --

they'll teach you, hope you can take it*! Eh eh
