Hoy estoy raro [English translation]

Today I feel weird and I don't understand why

If nothing strange has happened to get me down

Today I feel weird and I don't know what to do

It might be that today I thought back

On the days of my childhood, when I was always feeling bad

I was an only child of chance

My father was a hippie and my mother was a punk

Ah, could be! It was the nanny who

Put Valium in my bottle to keep me from

Crying, and one day went

Out with her friends and came back with that bunch of druggies

And, tripping, in a Satanic rite

They tortured my hamster and cooked it

It was hell, they made me taste it

And it wasn't even tender

It depends, I was a dumbass kid then

As my uncle, who is a guy who gets me, said, he who doesn't suffer doesn't learn

And I had a tooth kicked out

And the money the tooth fairy left under my pillow got stolen

Everyone laughed when I rolled my r's

My grandmother said that if she died I shouldn't bury her

And to keep going up:

"Maybe, maybe, maybe"

Today I feel weird and I don't understand why

If nothing strange has happened to get me down

Today I feel weird and I don't know what to do

I sit here and wait for it to pass and say "ciao"

Ooh...

Could be that I was marked

As the child of divorced parents

How moronic! I hadn't thought of it then

But if that was how it was we'd all be traumatized

And I, in the twilight, put on some blues

And my grandmother asked Jesus to make sure that Gardel wasn't from Toulouse

With her cross I pricked the bubbles of pus

That I got from my allergy to mousse--achoos!!!

Maybe it's that I went over to have dinner

With my dad's new girlfriend, who invited me but made me wash the dishes

And when she saw my sister walking in half-naked

She said to me, look, the models are all sluts

And I pissed her off

Because when she gets drunk she gets slutty

And I had to split when after the fourth glass of wine she started to fondle me

And she laughed and started to hiccup

And she told me in advance

That she was going to leave my old man for a guy who'd pay for her lipo

Maybe that's why I'm so sensitive

Life is unpredictable

Today I feel weird and I don't understand why

If nothing strange has happened to get me down

Today I feel weird and I don't know what to do

I sit here and wait for it to pass and say "ciao"

Ooh...

Could be that the guy at the pharmacy wasn't amused

When he learned that I defend euthanasia to the death

He said that if everyone died they'd go out of business

And threw a bottle of homeopathic medicine at me

Or one of those

As the peyote said, I'm sick in the head

But no, the doctor who cured me

Swore that the wound the bottle left on my neck had already scarred

Maybe it's that aperitif I had in the cafe

While nibbling a salami and listening to Led Zeppelin

Or it could be that waitress, who looked pretty vicious

Slipped something in my drink

But how rude!! If she broke the glass

When I burned her arm with my cigarette

And due to my clumsiness she left the giant barrel of beer badly closed

And the bar was flooded...

That's right, I think I wanted to pick up the chick

Talking about the tsunami

And, getting worn out, she said, "Did you see?" and I went back to where you came from

Heaven doesn't exist

Today I feel weird and I don't understand why

If nothing strange has happened to get me down

Today I feel weird and I don't know what to do

I sit here and wait for it to pass and say "ciao"
