Veo que es triste que todos se rasquen los codos
teniendo en cuenta que el abono y
que el acodo esta pendiente, inteligente

El presidente miente yep
Está pendiente

Creo que es triste que todos se hagan los sordos
teniendo en cuenta que su voz es un estorbo
Y simplemente, está pendiente

El presidente miente yep
Está pendiente

Uh uh uh

Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara

Por qué saltas
si yo no he hecho nada

Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara

Estás saltando
cuando yo no he hecho nada

Creo que es justo también que no cambien la mirada
Si están cansados de esperar una jugada
Diligente
Inteligente

El presidente miente yep
Esta pendiente

Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara

Por qué saltas
Si yo no he hecho nada

Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara

Estás saltando cuando
yo no he hecho nada

Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara

Por qué saltas
Si yo no he hecho nada

Dame en la cara
Dame en la cara

Estás saltando
cuando yo no he hecho nada

Uh uh uh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Milly Majuc's "Pendiente" speak to the frustration and injustice felt by those who feel they are being ignored or overlooked. The first verse speaks about the unfairness of people working hard while others do nothing and yet still reap benefits, represented by the use of abono (fertilizer) and acodo (a propagation method). The use of "inteligente" indicates a sense of sarcasm, as the situation does not seem intelligent at all. The mention of the lying president shows that this injustice is systemic and goes all the way to the top.

The second verse highlights the frustration of having a voice that nobody wants to hear. The imagery of someone's voice being an "estorbo" (an obstruction or burden) indicates a feeling of being silenced or pushed aside. The repetition of "está pendiente" serves to emphasize that these issues have not been resolved and are still ongoing. The chorus, with its repeated phrase of "dame en la cara" (hit me in the face), is a powerful statement of defiance against those who would try to silence or ignore them. The final lines of the song, "por qué saltas si yo no he hecho nada" (why are you jumping when I haven't done anything), shows a sense of confusion and frustration at being targeted for no reason.
