Lyrics & translation
Verse 1
El fotógrafo exige una cara seria
The photographer demands a serious face
Mi vestido pica por todas partes
My dress itches everywhere
Se me cayó un diente esta mañana
I lost a tooth this morning
Cierro los labios como una caja
I close my lips like a box
Papá acomoda su corbata nueva
Dad straightens his new tie
La abuela esconde algo tras la silla
Grandma hides something behind the chair
Chorus
Que salga el hueco en la fotografía
Let the gap show in the photograph
No vine al mundo para ser de mármol
I didn't enter this world to be made of marble
Si falta un diente, sobra la alegría
If a tooth is missing, there's joy to spare
Hoy la sonrisa rompe todo el marco
Today the smile breaks the whole frame
Verse 2
La abuela saca un limón gigante
Grandma brings out a giant lemon
Lo llama primo del señor fotógrafo
She calls it the photographer's cousin
Mi hermano suelta una carcajada
My brother bursts out laughing
Mamá derrama el té sobre su falda
Mom spills tea over her skirt
Se abre mi boca sin pedir permiso
My mouth opens without asking permission
El flash nos pilla justo en el desastre
The flash catches us right in the disaster
Bridge
Pasaron años, volvió aquel diente
Years passed, that tooth came back
La foto sigue encima de la mesa
The photo still sits on the table
Nadie recuerda la corbata nueva
Nobody remembers the new tie
Todos recuerdan la risa de la abuela
Everyone remembers Grandma's laughter
Final Chorus
Que salga el hueco en la fotografía
Let the gap show in the photograph
No vine al mundo para ser de mármol
I didn't enter this world to be made of marble
Si falta un diente, sobra la alegría
If a tooth is missing, there's joy to spare
Hoy la sonrisa rompe todo el marco
Today the smile breaks the whole frame
