Lo Que Son Las Apariencias
Olga Tañon
What Appearances Are
In the eyes of the world
You're an ideal man
Sweet, tender, and loving
With an angelic smile
Polite, generous
Calm and serene
Just like another adjective
That applies to a good person
But when he's at home
What happens to that man?
Everything affects and bothers him
He becomes grumpy
Using hurtful words
And resorting to violence
Hitting his wife
What appearances are
Attentive and considerate
He's faithful to his religion
Engages in reading
He's a classy guy
The coolest in the world
He even has good diction
Seemingly a kind
That's nowadays extinct
Chorus...
But when he's at home
What happens to that man?
Everything affects and bothers him
He becomes grumpy
Using hurtful words
And resorting to violence
Hitting his wife
What appearances are
He goes back out on the street
With a gentlemanly demeanor
Leaving his wife's dignity
On the ground
Just as you see him
He doesn't show what he is
What appearances are
On the street, he's good
What appearances are
On the street, he's a gentleman
At home, he's grumpy
This is a big problem
I wouldn't wish it on anyone
What appearances are
