El Cuarteto de Nos - Flan (English Translation) Lyrics[Chorus]
Here I am, waiting for the world to change
(Everyone's so restless)
Hoping things will calm down for a moment
(Everyone's so shaken)
But there's no safe place to run to
No honest voice left to believe in
And on top of it all, I have to endure the publicity
Of that guy laughing while eating his flan
[Verse 1]
Conflicts, problems, disputes, fights
Stories born from crises and wars
Nameless storms that rise and spread
Not hurricanes, but they destroy just the same
Days witness to endless hypocrisy
From false leaders who think they're messiahs
Butterflies that forget they were once worms
This is murkier than Pollos Hermanos
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’s getting rough out there (Yeah)
It’s heating up outside (Yeah)
It’s so intense that even the most indifferent
Can get burned in that bonfire
They say my paranoia is bad for my health
And that nothing is real until it’s on YouTube
Everything feels so fragile and fleeting
That we learn so little from times of peace
[Chorus]
Here I am, waiting for the world to change
(Everyone's so restless)
Hoping things will calm down for a moment
(Everyone's so shaken)
But there's no safe place to run to
No honest voice left to believe in
And on top of it all, I have to endure the publicity
Of that guy laughing while eating his flan
[Verse 2]
Insults, sirens, alarms blaring
Everyone argues, but no one explains
People who put a magnet in their compass
People that shout typing in all caps
Irreplaceable essential beings
Irreplaceable, indispensable
Believing they’re kings of a fragile empire
The cemetery is full of essential people
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It’s getting rough out there (Yeah)
It’s heating up outside (Yeah)
It’s ruthless, and the tension is so thick
It feels like the harshest of borders
I remember when I didn't know I was happy
Even though happiness leaves no scars
There's no scale or measure for pain
Only the pig knows how much the ham costs
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Fragile ideals in shaky times
Facing uncertain and fearful futures
Soft characters pretending to be brave
With shaky principles, just playing along
Unstable paradigms built by insecure figures
Gathering into groups without a real plan
Life turned out exactly as expected
But just a little more bitter than that flan
(Flan, flan)
[Chorus]
Here I am, waiting for the world to change
(Everyone's so restless)
Hoping things will calm down for a moment
(Everyone's so shaken)
But there's no safe place to run to
No honest voice left to believe in
And on top of it all, I have to endure the publicity
Of that guy laughing, of that guy laughing
Of that guy laughing while eating his flan
