Nope, para nada

Y recuerda que al final todo se sabe (oh)

Hasta que se acabe el oxígeno y la lluvia salga de abajo para arriba y se sece el mar
Until the oxygen runs out and the rain comes up from the bottom and the sea dries up

Seguiré representando a mis pariente' en la decencia
I will continue representing my relatives with decency

Y de eso doy fe, capisce?
And I give my word on that, capisce?

Mientra' tanto seguiré aprendiendo
Meanwhile, I will continue learning
