Verso Terso [English translation]
Verso Terso [English translation]
They tell me the verse
Is clean and without kinks. I go smoothly
Adverse to those who want to see me convert
They say the lyrics of my songs are too strong
For the masses who do not listen, only dance
only move, move
They want to follow that model
They hype it up but a good sound is crack
To put your foot on the gas -- all's good
But few know how to brake, oh no
Well, and that's because today everyone wants to be first
But in every test I give they get a zero
They praise themselves still so you have to put a bib on them
So the drool from their ego won't stain.
[Chorus]
And he stood, this man with a champion's sound
Overwhelming those who write cardboard topics
(Oh, no don't be alarmed)
If you find yourself facing this train
do not let it bother you and if you are bothered
You just have to keep pushing.
Look closely where you are
You are privileged to be born on this face of the earth
Which has too much history to be represented by scum
Collective memory is bleeding from the wound,
but still it lives and will keep living where there are ears,
where there is heart, get to know the champion's sound
that is born with the gift. It is a blessing
not a hobby. For me, it is no distraction
Pay attention to the tradition
of Borinquen music, an art form
[Chorus]
And he stood, this man with a champion's sound
Overwhelming those who write cardboard topics
(Oh, no don't be alarmed)
If you find yourself facing this train
do not let it bother you and if you are bothered
You just have to keep pushing. You have to keep pushing
You're the culture, negro
Give yourself respect if you want to represent
push yourself at your performance, you definitely have more
Of course you have to keep pushing
You are not what you have, you are only what you give
Put away the mediocrity
If you can, throw me something original
They tell me the verse
Is clean and without kinks. I go smoothly
Adverse to those who want to see me convert
But they know that I don't get misled like that
I follow through, patient with the process
while the music goes backwards
originality still losing weight
they have everyone focused with the facade
it doesn't matter whether the lyrics never said anything.
I give in to presentation
a lot of work puts pressure, and more
if you want to represent our island
they have to support me with the path
[Chorus]
And he stood, this man with a champion's sound
Overwhelming those who write cardboard topics
(Oh, no don't be alarmed)
If you find yourself facing this train
do not let it bother you and if you are bothered
You just have to keep pushing.
You're the culture, negro
Give yourself respect if you want to represent
push yourself at your performance, you definitely have more
Of course you have to keep pushing
You are not what you have, you are only what you give
Put away the mediocrity
If you can, throw me something original
Of course you have to keep pushing
