De Pequeño Fue El Coco
Melendi
As a Kid, It Was the Boogeyman
Today, after a thousand twists, I've come to a conclusion
I was my first love
The first to touch me and wink at me in the mirror
The first to spot all my insecurities
The first one who said, "Hey Ramón
I think you're being a real jerk."
Because I’m my first love and my worst enemy
Loving myself while I’m putting on my Christ spurs
Maybe I've loved myself so much I forgot I'm my own enemy
Maybe I've spent years taking advantage of myself
I know myself so well I exploit my weaknesses
And I know when I'm most likely to do more mischief
I'm a mischievous kid hiding in a man's body
As a kid, it was the boogeyman, and now it's his wife who messes with me
Today, after a thousand twists, I finally understood
That this is really who I am
That it’s not worth fighting to change certain things
Not all caterpillars can become butterflies
I told myself, "Ramón, you gotta get it right
It’s the only way to move forward"
Because this is me, my first love and my worst enemy
Loving myself while I’m putting on my Christ spurs
Maybe I've loved myself so much I forgot I'm my own enemy
Maybe I've spent years taking advantage of myself
I know myself so well I exploit my weaknesses
And I know when I'm most likely to do mischief
I'm a mischievous kid hiding in a man's body
As a kid, it was the boogeyman, and now it's his wife who messes with me
You yourself with your own body
Told me, "You know what you're doing"
As I replied
"Come on dude, don’t mess with me"
You know the graveyard is full of brave souls
I tell myself under my breath while I respond with an angry gesture
Maybe I've loved myself so much I forgot I'm my own enemy
Maybe I've spent years taking advantage of myself
I know myself so well I exploit my weaknesses
And I know when I'm most likely to do mischief
I'm a mischievous kid hiding in a man's body
As a kid, it was the boogeyman, and now it's his wife who messes with me
