Pájaro Pájaro Lyrics (English Translation) – Midas Alonso

[Chorus: J.Roldán & Midas Alonso]
Bird, I’ve always been a bird
Trying to fly high to see myself better
They are little things from the past that I did by mistake
Crying to the mother, begging for forgiveness (Eh)

[Verse: Midas Alonso]
My eyes have shone by themselves, I have never needed the money
I have been thirsty and I have not asked for water
And what they have offered me from the blessed
When you are locked up, a visit is appreciated (Thank you)
For la mala vita, suffering is something so vital

I saw so many bad things that even the beautiful ones weaken me
And I try to avoid levitating
But this s*it is my kryptonite
Long live your tanguita, cinnamon that of your friend, El Canelita
They wouldn’t let me in because of the pints
Not even because in the middle of the joint he gave me tips (What he did)
Now things are different, we enter in flip flops and they invite us
Now in plastic they try to paint me
The little children of the teachers in my country house (Del 92)
The kids in town ask me for advice
And I give them to them while I invite them to some yuintas
You already know that your half is my half
Don’t ask me again what’s up, or about so-and-so (Or which one)
They try to imitate me, and that’s good (That’s good)
But you can’t sprint in the mud (You can’t)
They try to imitate me until they crack with the metal
This is Metal Gear Solid, Heavy Metal (Heavy Metal)
The goal is heavy (Heavy, heavy)
Fenta is going to be heavier, it is going to be lethal
This is not keta, there will be zombies in Carmen for sales (Mi tana)
I’ve already seen someone around Bucket to’ Bend’o
Without shoes tying his laces in slow motion
Don’t make your mother suffer
You have left her crying to please your relative (Parguela)
Everything can also be seen from the ridge

The whole world will be with you eating oysters (And barnacles)
Believing that this is La Cosa Nostra
But who will be with you when the vultures eat your scabs?
That I’m not the Toyaco rapper from your neighborhood
You will already know that between one thing and another
I have traveled half of Spain looking for samples
Looking for cuts, many drops
Enjoying the air, but more hills (Beatings)
Adjustments due to account disruptions
You have set up a circus in rap that already seems like a role-playing game
I’ve seen a lot of Harry Potter, a lot of Ron (Malfoy)
Rin-rin, run-run (Run-run)
There are the little birds in the Vikings and in the town of Ferrol
I always find the good nougat
Mozarrón Butter (Sugar)
There are things in the past that I did by mistake
I have already asked my friends and family for forgiveness.
Let’s see what you think, ba*tard

[Pre-Chorus: Midas Alonso]
If you have to say sorry, do it, little brother.
do not stay with the desire

[Chorus: J.Roldán]
A bird, I have always been a bird
Trying to fly high to see myself better
They are little things from the past that I did by mistake
Crying to the mother, begging for forgiveness
A bird, I have always been a bird
Trying to fly high to see myself better
They are little things from the past that I did by mistake
Crying to the mother, begging for forgiveness
