Verse 1

hoy me toca ser un ángel,
el calvo empieza a reír y no para.”

the bald guy starts laughing and doesn’t stop.”
Chorus
Now let’s move on to the catchy chorus of the song:
“Lo poco que tengo es tan poco que se me nota,
lo mucho que quiero es tanto que me delata,
lo mucho que puedo es tan poco que no importa,
lo poco que tengo, una vez más me sobra.”
Translation:
“The little I have is so little that it shows,
the much I want is so much that it gives me away,
the much I can do is so little that it doesn’t matter,
the little I have, once again, is more than enough.”

The second verse of the song carries deep emotions:
“Le presto mi abrigo a un hombre sin suerte,
me roba los sueños y no me queda suerte,
hoy me toca ser un ángel,
mi madre empieza a llorar y no para.”

he steals my dreams and I am left with no luck,
today it’s my turn to be an angel,
my mother starts crying and doesn’t stop.”
Bridge
Lastly, we have the moving bridge before the final chorus:
“Un poco de amor para el niño que fui,
un poco de amor que me cure de aquí,
un poco de amor y ya no hace falta nada más,
qué más da.”
Translation:
“A little bit of love for the child I used to be,
a little bit of love to heal me from within,
a little bit of love and nothing else matters anymore,
what does it matter.”
