¿Dónde están Los ladrones? [English translation]

People have seen them around

They have seen them on the rooftops

Walking around Paris

Pronouncing sentence at the courts

With powdered noses

Wearing ties or blue jeans

They have seen them in all the magazines' covers

Without anything else to say

Where are the thieves?

Where is the murderer?

Probably getting dirty

At the neighbour's patio

And what if it's them

And what if it's me

The one who plays this guitar

Or the one who sings this song

The one who sings this song

They have seen them kneeling,

Sitting or crouching,

Standing as they teach lessons

In all positions

Preaching at the churches

Or even giving concerts

They have seen them at every cocktail party

Distributing ministrations

Where are the thieves?

Where is the murderer?

Probably getting dirty

At the neighbour's patio

And what if it's them

And what if it's me

The one who plays this guitar

Or the one who sings this song

The one who sings this song
