El Golfo

They call me a jerk, they call me a pimp. They call me so many things in life that I get bored
I don't care anymore what they call me, and my conscience says: Let them talk
It's also said that I'm a scoundrel, and someone always shouts it out and doesn't shut up
I don't know what they gain with lies, that's how I have to get up while I'm alive

Let them talk, I laugh alone, mine laugh
Let them entertain themselves, let them say, let them lie, let them invent my troubles

I've always been a jerk, but a restrained jerk
Only those who haven't known me criticize me
You know what I say? Take away what I've lived
And as for being a pimp, it shows in my walk

I've always been a jerk, but a restrained jerk
Only those who haven't known me criticize me
You know what I say? Take away what I've lived
And as for being a pimp, it shows in my walk

It's not like I'm a saint
But nothing like what they've said
They see me awake and I'm asleep
They see me partying and I'm with books I haven't read
They see me with one, they see me with another
But the list of my conquests is rather short
I'm not a party animal, nor am I a bar hopper
But it's said that I drink my drinks in pairs

Let them talk, I laugh alone, mine laugh
Let them entertain themselves, let them say, let them lie, let them invent my troubles

I've always been a jerk, but a restrained jerk
Only those who haven't known me criticize me
You know what I say? Take away what I've lived
And as for being a pimp, it shows in my walk

I've always been a jerk, but a restrained jerk
Only those who haven't known me criticize me
You know what I say? Take away what I've lived
And as for being a pimp, it shows in my walk

Let them call me a jerk
Let them call me a pimp
Let them call me a scoundrel
Let them call me whatever they want

I'm not worried about what they say, what they invent about me
I'm not interested in the fake friendly ones who can't stop smiling
A whole life listening to stories, here and there
There comes a moment when you say those poor storytellers, they don't know what to say

I've always been a jerk, but a restrained jerk
Only those who haven't known me criticize me
You know what I say? Take away what I've lived
And as for being a pimp, it shows in my walk

A jerk, I've always been
That's right, but restrained
Pimp, well, a little bit
But you know
