Caer En Gracia
Willie Colón
Fall In Grace
It's better to fall in grace than to try to be funny
but if you have money, the ridicule matters little.
It's better to fall in grace to not be unfortunate
but if you have money, the world is on your side.
Don Billete's imprudences matter little
when drunk, he only expresses himself with words;
according to Carlota because it's the fashion of the bourgeois
if I did it, they would hang me by the balls...
Lady Luisa's adventures matter little
when she sleeps with half the world while strolling in Switzerland;
according to Carlota, they are youthful pranks
if I were Mary Luz, they would crucify me...
Constantino's gestures matter little
there are many gestures that give him away inside;
according to Carlota, they are the manners of a refined boy
if it were me, they would already call me a faggot...
It's better to fall in grace than to try to be funny.
In a world of cement, hypocrisy drives us crazy.
It's better to fall in grace to not be unfortunate.
So you won't be a salty cod
So you won't be a salty cod, salty, salty
It's better to fall in grace than to try to be funny.
In the hour of embarrassment, a coin covers everything.
It's better to fall in grace to not be unfortunate.
So you won't be a salty cod
two salty cods, three salty cods, four salty cods
Put yourself in a bill and you'll see
It pulls, pulls over here
Put yourself in a bill and you'll see
That everything comes your way
Stand firm and you'll see
That you won't be a prisoner
Everyone wants to greet you
That you won't be a prisoner of what they'll say
