Els guapos són els raros [English translation]
Els guapos són els raros [English translation]
A man with thick, horn-rimmed glasses wanders nervously around the port district
Dr. Ramon has been with his wife for more than an hour
Today they've screwed up their courage and decided to have surgery
The woman wants to fix her double chin and the man wants a bigger penis
But they don't know that being attractive can be a nightmare, too
They both sing really well, much better than I do, and they're in a choir
And they dance sardanes1in Plaça Sant Jaume2, and they're freaking awesome at it
Pepe is a guy who has developed quite a belly and spends all day in bed
Today he is surrounded by three doctors and a young resident with a scalpel
With a permanent marker they draw a line around the fatty tissue they'll be removing
And he smiles at the thought of having a waikiki3, surrounded by women whose nipples show through their shirts
But Pepe doesn't know that some handsome men's lives are a nightmare, too
This guy organizes meet-ups for fans of the Seat 600, and he has a red one
And when he visits his hometown, the kids ask him to take them for a spin
They don't know that beautiful people are the weird ones
Everyone knows it, but no one says it
They're not happy with themselves, either, and they're insecure about being different
They don't know that beautiful people sing out of tune, and don't have rhythm, and aren't good dancers
They worry, too, and see psychologists, and that's okay
It's okay
It's okay
