Description
There is a type of man whose ego is more pumped up than his muscles, and whose maturity is still waiting in line somewhere past forty. They know how to make a grand entrance - with a watch, a smile, and a cigarette against a backdrop of drama - but they exit like bad actors: falsely, loudly, and off-script. And it would be funny if it weren't so familiar. The music seems to slam the door - loudly, with anger and pleasure. Because sometimes the best way to say goodbye to immaturity is to just dance alone, watching as another ‘main character’ leaves for his theatre of cheap gestures.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Llegaste a la fiesta conmigo en mi carro
Ella estaba afuera prendiendo un cigarro
Actuaste tan raro
Tocándote el pelo con tu reloj caro, tan patético
Tú siempre repites: "No quiero compromiso"
Tal vez es más simple, no lo quieres conmigo
No sé quién te dijo
Que puedes besarme y seguir siendo amigos
Qué difícil encontrar un hombre en el siglo XXI
Que pase la noche y no se espante al desayuno
Tal vez mamá te doblará la ropa hasta que cumplas los 41
Los 41
Qué casualidad que cuando ella está cerca
Tú me ignoras, bailo sola entre la gente
¿Cómo se siente que tu vida sea una farsa?
Una obra de teatro permanente
Ella se va contigo a casa
Le abres la puerta del frente
Soy una tonta en la ventana
Mirando el mal actor que eres
Me hago la tonta en la ventana
Mirando el mal actor que eres
Cuando la noche acabe y estés aburrido
Pasarás por mi calle sobrio, arrepentido
¿En qué me has convertido?
Cumpliste los 20 y sigues siendo un niño
Qué difícil encontrar un hombre en el siglo XXI
Que pase la noche y no se espante al desayuno
Tal vez mamá te tenderá la cama hasta que cumplas los 41
¿Qué? Los 41
Qué casualidad que cuando ella está cerca
Tú me ignoras, bailo sola entre la gente
¿Cómo se siente que tu vida sea una farsa?
Una obra de teatro permanente
Ella se va contigo a casa
Le abres la puerta del frente
Soy una tonta en la ventana
Mirando el mal actor que eres
Te crees un gran atleta aun siendo tan flojo
Usas mucho las pesas, pero el cerebro poco
El hijo consentido (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, debí haberlo sabido (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Abres la boca y suena todo tan pretencioso
Entiendo, se te pega de tus amigos tontos
Solo un caso perdido (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, debí haberlo sabido (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Qué difícil encontrar un hombre en el siglo XXI
Que pase la noche y no se espante al desayuno
Tal vez mamá te doblará la ropa hasta que cumplas los 41
¿Qué? Los 41
English translation
You came to the party with me in my car
She was outside lighting a cigarette.
You acted so strange
Touching your hair with your expensive watch, so pathetic
You always repeat: "I don't want commitment"
Maybe it's simpler, you don't want it with me
I don't know who told you
That you can kiss me and still be friends
How difficult to find a man in the 21st century
Let him spend the night and don't be scared of breakfast
Maybe mom will fold your clothes until you're 41
The 41
What a coincidence that when she is around
You ignore me, I dance alone among the people
How does it feel to have your life be a farce?
A permanent play
She goes home with you
You open the front door
I'm a fool at the window
Looking at what a bad actor you are
I play dumb at the window
Looking at what a bad actor you are
When the night is over and you're bored
You will pass through my street sober, repentant
What have you turned me into?
You turned 20 and you're still a kid.
How difficult to find a man in the 21st century
Let him spend the night and don't be scared of breakfast
Maybe mom will make your bed until you turn 41
What? The 41
What a coincidence that when she is around
You ignore me, I dance alone among the people
How does it feel to have your life be a farce?
A permanent play
She goes home with you
You open the front door
I'm a fool at the window
Looking at what a bad actor you are
You think you're a great athlete even though you're so lazy.
You use weights a lot, but your brain little
The spoiled son (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, I should have known (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
You open your mouth and everything sounds so pretentious
I understand, you get caught from your stupid friends
Just a hopeless case (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, I should have known (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
How difficult to find a man in the 21st century
Let him spend the night and don't be scared of breakfast
Maybe mom will fold your clothes until you're 41
What? The 41
