bandera Traducción al Español
i'm friends with the monster

Soy amigo del monstruo

That's under my bed

Que está debajo de mi cama

get along with the voices inside of my head

Me llevo bien con las voces dentro de mi cabeza

You're trying to save me

Estás intentando salvarme

Stop holding your breath

Deja de aguantar la respiración

And you think I'm crazy

Y crees que estoy loco

Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)

Sí, crees que estoy loco (loco)


I wanted the fame, but not the cover of newsweek

Quería la fama, pero no la portada de Newsweek.

Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosy

Bueno, supongo que los mendigos no podemos exigir

Wanted to receive attention for my music

Quería recibir atención por mi música

Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me

Quería que me dejaran en paz en público.

Been wanting my cake, And eat it too

He querido mi pastel y también comérmelo

And wanting it both ways

Y lo he querido de ambas maneras

Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated

La fama me hizo un globo porque mi ego se infló

When I blew seep and it was confusing

When I blew seep and it was confusing

Cause all I wanted to do

Porque todo lo que quería hacer

is be the bruce lee of loose leaf

Es ser el Bruce Lee de las hojas sueltas

Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam

Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam

Hit the lottery (oh wee)

Me tocó la loteria

With what I gave up to get was bittersweet

With what I gave up to get was bittersweet

It was like winning a huge meet

It was like winning a huge meet

Ironic 'cause I think

Ironic 'cause I think

I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep

Empiezo a perder el sueño: una oveja, dos ovejas.

Going cuckoo and cookey as Kool Keith

Going cuckoo and cookey as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think

Pero en realidad soy más raro de lo que crees

Cause I'm...

Porque yo...


I'm friends with the monster

Soy amigo del monstruo

That's under my bed

Que está debajo de mi cama

Get along with the voices inside of my head

Me llevo bien con las voces dentro de mi cabeza

You're trying to save me

Estás intentando salvarme

Stop holding your breath

Deja de aguantar la respiración

And you think I'm crazy

Y crees que estoy loco

Yeah, you think I'm crazy

Sí, crees que estoy loco (loco)


Well, that's nothing

Bueno, eso no es nada

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh

Well, that's nothing

Bueno, eso no es nada

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh


Now I ain't much of a poet

Ahora no soy un poeta

But I know somebody once told me

Pero sé que alguien me dijo una vez

to seize the moment

Que aprovechara el momento

And don't squander it

Y no lo desperdiiciase

Cause you never know when it could all be over

Porque nunca se sabe cuando todo podría acabarse

Tomorrow so I keep conjuring

Mañana seguiré conjurando

Sometimes I wonder where

A veces me pregunto de dónde

these thoughts spawn from

Provienen estos pensamientos

(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?

Sí, piénsalo, ¿quieres esto?

there's no wonder you're losing your mind

No es de extrañar que estés perdiendo la cabeza

the way you're wandering?)

por la forma en la que estás deambulando?

I think you've been wandering off down yonder

Creo que has estado deambulando por ahí

and stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen

Y tropezaste con Jeff VanVonderen

Cause I needed an interventionist

Porque necesitaba un intervencionista

to intervene between me and this monster

para intervenir entre este monstruo y yo

And save me from myself and all this conflict

Y salvarme de mí mismo y de todo este conflicto

Cause the very thing that I love is killing me

Porque lo único que amo es matarme

and I can't conquer it

y no puedo conquistarlo

My OCD is conking me in the head

Mi transtorno obsesivo compulsivo me está rompiendo la cabeza

Keep knocking, nobody's home,

Sigue llamando, no hay nadie en casa,

I'm sleepwalking

Estoy sonámbulo

I'm just relaying what the voice in my head saying

Simplemente transmito lo que dice la voz en mi cabeza

Don't shoot the messenger,

No le dispares al mensajero

I'm just friends with the...

Soy amigo del ...


I'm friends with the monster

Soy amigo del monstruo

That's under my bed

Que está debajo de mi cama

Get along with the voices inside of my head

Me llevo bien con las voces dentro de mi cabeza

You're trying to save me

Estás intentando salvarme

Stop holding your breath

Deja de aguantar la respiración

And you think I'm crazy

Y crees que estoy loco

Yeah, you think I'm crazy

Sí, crees que estoy loco (loco)


Well, that's nothing

Bueno, eso no es nada

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh

Well, that's nothing

Bueno, eso no es nada

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh
