Ke Me Pasará N La Boka

If there's humor, if there's salsa, if there's grace or charm,
tell me why doorman, you look like a but,
you think I want it, you have to show money,
robber face and pretend my back,
look at my jacket, it's more expensive than you,
I have friends who get free Bantu masks,
so why would I enter your store randomly,
to steal from you! to steal a can of tuna from you,
I look like a newcomer on a raft according to you,
tell the cops that I came to rob you,
you have to relax and not worry so much
if you don't know Spanish how will you communicate,
break the ice let's ask me
what did you want and don't ask in English
what do you want, oh my god in the end you did it
and with delusions of grandeur this one looks at me firmly
and prays that he doesn't seem like just another ignorant
and he can attend to me, so he can attend to me,
suddenly I tell him what I want in perfect
Spanish
and his face remains flat,
Jesus, you speak so well, where are you from,
how can you speak Spanish so well,
normally a person of color always speaks with a strong accent,
now if you were offended forgive me I'm sorry

What will happen to me in the mouth, why do I speak like this,
is it because I've been here for a long time,
because whenever I say something right everyone is surprised,
there are no men of color who speak like this in Spain (x2)

Tonight there is no car,
you have to catch the night bus, although well, well,
I catch a taxi,
finally one picks me up and asks me where I'm going
and I answer Torrejón and the meter turns ON,
when two minutes pass in the taxi relaxed,
he asks me how it went and I say I had a good time,
I say well normal, there hasn't been anything special,
then he realizes that there is something unusual,
the fictional stories now take human form
and in a thousand little topics they crack,
they don't fit into concepts of such small brains,
he looks at me as if I were a designer car,
his eyes don't leave me in the rearview mirror,
how is it possible that a person of color can speak like that,
if he speaks better than me, I know that's what he thinks inside,
if there was any doubt he starts a conversation
he asks me about senseless things about this, about that
and so analyze my accent,
I always answer these with education,
waiting for him to ask the million-dollar question,
Jesus, you speak so well, where are you from,
how can you speak Spanish so well,
normally a person of color always speaks with a strong accent,
now if you were offended forgive me I'm sorry

What will happen to me in the mouth, why do I speak like this,
is it because I've been here for a long time,
because whenever I say something right everyone is surprised,
there are no men of color who speak like this in Spain (x2)

I'm lost in the city, you know I don't know how to get there,
and I don't want to ask although I'll have to ask,
many pass by, they do it without even looking at me,
although well there is always someone kind willing to help me,
someone who doesn't think I'm one of those who rob you
or maybe a drug dealer, or maybe a drug dealer,
and willing to indicate me well what the address is,
kindly he explains to me, kindly he shows me,
perfect he even takes me through a shortcut,
in fact the place in question is the office of a job,
the test they did to me over the phone was liked,
they loved my attitude, it was enough for them,
I'm already in the office and they ask me who I am,
I'm the one from the phone, the one who passed the test,
suddenly things, sighs and whispers take shape,
they don't hire black people as a rule here,
they make me enter the boss's office
and ask if I'm really the one from the phone,
I answer but come on man what is this, a joke?
do you think that when I speak it's another guy who dubs me,
he says I understand you man don't get like that,
I don't know if hiring you is new to me,
normally a person of color speaks with a strong accent, now if you were offended forgive me I'm sorry.

What will happen to me in the mouth, why do I speak like this,
is it because I've been here for a long time,
because whenever I say something right everyone is surprised,
there are no men of color who speak like this in Spain (x2)
