Els guapos són els raros [English translation]
Els guapos són els raros [English translation]
A man with big plastic glasses wanders nervously around the port.
It's been more than one hour since his wife's visited by Dr. Ramon.
Today they've gather guts and have decided to have surgery:
the woman wants her double chin out and the man wants a bigger penis.
But they don't know that being handsome can also mean living a nightmare.
Both sing fucking well, much better than me, and they sing in a choir,
And they dance 'sardanes' [typical Catalan dance] in Plaça Sant Jaume and they are amazing.
Pepe is a guy with a big belly. He spends the whole day in bed.
Today he's surrounded by three doctors and a scholar with a surgical knife.
They draw with a paper the greasy essence they will extract
while he dreams about a waikiki cocktail surrounded by women with big nipples.
But pepe doesn't know that some handsome men also live in a nightmare.
This guy organizes meetings of old car lovers, and he has a beautiful red one.
And when he goes to his hometown the kids ask him to take them for a ride.
They don't know that handsome people are the weirdest.
Everybody knows that, but nobody says so.
They don't like themselves either, and they have traumas for being different.
They don't know that handsome people sing off key, they don't have swing
and they can't really dance.
They worry about things, and go to the therapist. And it's alright.
And it's alright.
