El Tiempo No Tiene Nada Que Ver

The Dummies

When they are new and come out of the egg, out of the cocoon
every little chick believes that the old folks are dummies
When they grow up and start to gray, already obsolete
every oldie believes that the kids are dummies

I, who oscillate between the two ages
tell everyone the truths

Time has nothing to do with it
When you're a dummy
you're a dummy
Whether a dean or a graduate
If you're a dummy
you're a dummy
And enough of discussions
Retired dummies
Debutants
There are little dummies from the new generation
old dummies from before

You recent dummies
innocent, young dummies
don't deny it, you think your parents are dummies
And you used dummies
worn out, old dummies
come on, confess that you think your kids are dummies

Listen to this impartial message
from those of us who oscillate between the two ages

Time has nothing to do with it
When you're a dummy
you're a dummy
Whether a dean or a graduate
If you're a dummy
you're a dummy
And enough of discussions
Retired dummies
Debutants
There are little dummies from the new generation
old dummies from before
New, old, big, small
Dummies of the world, unite!
