Plástico (feat. Willie Colon)

She was a plastic girl
Of those that I see around here
Of those that when they shake
Sudan Chanel number three

Who dream of marrying a doctor
Well he can keep them better
They don't talk to anyone who isn't their equal
Unless it's so-and-so

They are pretty, slim, well dressed
With a shifty look and a false laugh

He was a plastic boy
Of those that I see around here
With the comb in hand

And the face of “I didn’t do it
Of those who as a topic of conversation
They discuss which brand of car is better
Of those who prefer not to eat

For the sake of appearances
To walk elegantly and thus be able to
A plastic girl pick up

What a mistake!

It was a plastic couple
Of those that I see around here
He thinking only about money
She in fashion in Paris

Pretending to be what they are not
Living in a world of pure illusion
Telling his five year old son

Don't play with children of strange color
Drowning in debt to maintain
Your social status at a wedding or cocktail party

What a mistake!

It was a plastic city
One of those I don't want to see
Of cancerous buildings and a heart of tinsel
Where instead of a Sun a dollar rises

Where no one laughs, where no one cries
With people with polyester faces
Who listen without hearing and look without seeing
People who sold for convenience
Their reason for being and their freedom

Hey Latino, hey brother, hey friend
Never sell your destiny for gold or comfort
Never rest, because we still have a long way to go

Let's all move forward to finish together
With the ignorance that leads us to suggestions
With imported models that are not the solution

Don't be confused
Find the bottom and its reason
Remember: Faces are seen
But never the heart

Don't be confused
Find the bottom and its reason
Remember: Faces are seen
But never the heart

Remember: Faces are seen
And never the heart

(You see the faces, you see the faces, but never the heart)
We all come from dust
And there we will return, as the song says
(You see the faces, you see the faces, but never the heart)
Remember that plastic melts
If the sun shines directly on it
(You see the faces, you see the faces, but never the heart)

(You see the faces, you see the faces, but never the heart)
Study, work, be kind first
There is salvation
(You see the faces, you see the faces, but never the heart)
But look, look, don't be confused
Find the bottom and its reason
(You see the faces, you see the faces, but never the heart)
Move on, move on, move on, move on, move on
And so we will remain united
And in the end we will win
(You see the faces, you see the faces, but never the heart)

But ladies and gentlemen, in the midst of plastic
Faces of hope are also seen
The proud faces are seen
Working for a united Latin America
And for a tomorrow of hope and freedom

You can see the faces of sweat and work (You can see the faces)
Of people of flesh and blood who did not sell out (You can see their faces)
Of people working, looking for the new path (Their faces are seen)
Proud of her heritage and of being Latino (faces are seen)
Of a united race, the one Bolívar dreamed of (Their faces are seen)
