La noia Lyrics English Translation by Angelina Mango
How many sketches I’ve made
I stay here and watch them
None comes to life
This page is lazy
I’m in a hurry
And I’ve been told that life is precious
I wear it proudly around my neck
My necklace doesn’t have pearls of wisdom
I was given colored beads
For messed-up girls with traumas
To untangle slowly with age
And yet I’m like Easter, look, no dramas
Might as well change cities again
For staying still gives me, gives me
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
I die without dying
In these worn-out days
I live without suffering
There’s no greater burden
Nothing left but to laugh
In these burnt-out nights
A crown of thorns
Will be the dress code for my party
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom, mhm
It’s the total cumbia of boredom
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom, oh, oh
The total cumbia of boredom
How many people see evil in things
Makes you want to run away as soon as they start talking
And I’d like to tell them I’m fine, but then they look at me wrong
So I say it’s hard to get by
Business, you talk about business
Meanwhile, I close my eyes to sign contracts
Mhm, princess, he calls you “princess”
So now stop doing the dishes
I die without dying
In these worn-out days
I live without suffering
There’s no greater burden
Nothing left but to laugh
In these burnt-out nights
A crown of thorns
Will be the dress code for my party
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom, mhm, oh
It’s the total cumbia of boredom
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom, huh
It’s the total cumbia of boredom
So, you write songs?
Yes, love songs
And I don’t want to bore you
But someone has to sing them
Cumbia, I dance the cumbia
If I risk tripping, at least I stop the boredom
So, I throw a party, I throw a party
Because it’s the only way to stop
To stop
To stop, ah
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom
I die because dying
Makes the days more human
I live because suffering
Makes the joys greater
Nothing left but to laugh
In these burnt-out nights
A crown of thorns
Will be the dress code for my party
It’s the cumbia of boredom, ah
It’s the total cumbia of boredom
Ah, it’s the cumbia of boredom, oh, ah
It’s the total cumbia of boredom
Total
