Eres tonto [English translation]

This story that I'm telling you is like a shout

A desperate voice that shouts asking for help

Help because I can't see anything that satisfies 1 me on the way

Help because I see that there is a great lack of affection

I stop and ask myself why you don't live

Surrounded by more truth and looking for imbalance

That fills you with courage and takes you away from suicide

Not having to depend (on anyone/anything) to feel more loved

Using less brains and a bit more skin

Since we are what we are and if you don't want to see (it)

You're silly

If you don't like yourself, it's just that you're not alive

You're silly

But that's something that was born with you

And tomorrow when you wake up, jump out of bed

Fight your tomorrow, look at your face

You don't owe anything (to anyone)

You're silly

Go out on the street without the silliness

Pouring your heart out 2

Your heart out

It seems that it's in fashion to play the fool

Pretending to be the person that you'd always wanted

Why don't you like yourself even if it's only a little bit?

Why aren't you yourself and not something similar?

Using less brains and a bit more skin

Since we are what we are and if you don't want to see (it)

You're silly

If you don't like yourself, it's just that you're not alive

You're silly

But that's something that was born with you

And tomorrow when you wake up, jump out of bed

Fight your tomorrow, look at your face

You don't owe anything (to anyone)

You're silly

Going out on the street without the silliness

Pouring your heart out

Your heart out

Ehh

You're silly

And tomorrow when you wake up, jump out of bed

Fight your tomorrow, look at your face

You don't owe anything (to anyone)

You're silly

Going out on the street without the silliness

Pouring your heart out

Your heart out

You're silly!

THE VEVO VERSION ADDS:

They're looking for you, silly!

Silly billy, ey! ah

Hey:

Like my grandma said

'You have to be quick off the mark' 3

And on the planet there are so many (of us)...

Ay, how can there be so many?

From Madrid to Panama

From Mexico to Bogotá

In Venezuela, in Uruguay

In Buenos Aires and La Paz

I was explained to, I was told

And I saw it, I understood it

It's said differently

And it's the same as in my country:

Moron 4, jerk, arsehole, good-for-nothing, 5 coward, idiot, stupid 6

They're (all) of the same nature

And now I'm telling you (what's the word?)

How it's said in Spain

Silly!

1. lit. 'fills me' 2. lit. taking your whole life out (of yourself)3. This idiomatic expression doesn't have a direct translation as far as I'm aware...it basically means to make the most of an opportunity, lit. the slowest RUN for it, but the fastest FLY to it 4. 'turro' is apparently commonly used in Argentina and can also be translated as' motherfucker' 5. not entirely sure what 'carapán' should be translated to in English...it literally means 'bread face', I assume this is some sort of insult...6. I can't find a translation for 'bobaca' so I just went for stupid...
