As they say

I live alone with my mother
In a very old apartment
Sarasate Street
To keep me company
I have a turtle two canaries
And a cat
To let mom rest
Very often I do shopping
And cooking
I clean, I wash, I wipe,
Occasionally I also stitch
With the machine
Work doesn't scare me
I'm a bit of a decorator
A bit of a stylist
But my real job is the night.
That I exercise in drag
I'm an artist
I have a very special number
That ends up in full nude
After striptease
And in the hall I see that
The males can't believe their eyes.
I’m a man, oh!
As they say
 
Around three o'clock in the morning
We go to eat with friends
Of all sexes
In some bar-tabac
And there we give ourselves a good time
And without complex
We speak out the truth
About the people that we detest
We condemn them
But we do it with humor
Wrapped in puns
Wet with acid
We meet the retarded
Who to impress their tables
Walk and sway
Mimicking what they think is us
And cover themselves, the poor fools
With ridicule
They gesticulate and speak loudly
Playing the diva, the tenor
Of stupidity
The gibes, the mockeries
Leave me frozen because it's true.
I am a man, oh!
As they say
 
At the hour when a new day is born
I return to my lot
Of loneliness
I take off my eyelashes and my hair
Like a poor unhappy clown
Of weariness
I lie down but do not sleep
I think of my joyless loves
So derisory
Of this boy as beautiful as God
Who without doing anything has set fire
To my memory
My mouth will never dare
To confess my sweet secret
My tender drama
For the object of all my torments
Spends most of his time
In women's beds
No one has the right in truth
To blame me or judge me
And I say clearly
That it is nature that
Is solely responsible if
I’m a man, oh!
As they say
