verse
Vivimos del aplauso, también de los monedazos
We live of the claps, from the money too
Que luego recogemos del piso del escenario
What Next We Collect From Floor From Stage
Nos ponemos pa las fotos y después nos gritan "jotos"
We stay for the photos, an they call us "jotos" (Gay obscene)
Se roban nuestras playeras, las firmamos donde quieras
They Shoot Our T-Shirt We Firm Wherever You Want
El transporte que mandaron tiene dos llantas ponchadas
The transport they've send has two brocken tires
La corriente del lugar no estaba aterrizada
The current of the place hadn't landed
La aerolínea en que viajamos era de la fuerza armada
The airline we traveled on was of the army
Y el hotel donde quedamos era de Carlos Ahumada
And the hotel we stayed in of Carlos Ahumada
Más de mil toquínes, no hay llanta pa mis rines
More than 1k toquines, there's no tire for my ride
Muchachas chamaqueadas con los mismos calcetines
Girls fooled with the same socks
Caciqueado, engañado, pedo, crudo y desvelado
Abused, Tricked, Drunk, hangovered and sleepless
De lo que escribió la prensa creo que nunca hemos hablado
I belive we've never talked about what the press wrote
chorus

verse
Now we don′t pay the soundtrack, distribution for watchin' tours
Ahora que no juegan la banda sonora, la distribución para ver 'tours'
We toured in buses with no heat in very low temperatures
Nos dimos una vuelta en autobuses sin calor en temperaturas muy bajas
We′ve gotten no checks since '98, we took payments
No hemos recibido ninguna comprobación desde el '98, tomamos los pagos
Til we owe the cheese between our toes, thanks for the expenditure
Sí, nos gusta el queso entre los dedos gracias por el gasto
Hey, don't play with big kids, Spandex rock scavengers
Hey, no jugar con los niños grandes captadores de roca Spandex
Sold my furniture to keep my economic stature
Vendido mis muebles mantener mi peso económico
And to convince the chief that we had matured now
Y para convencer al jefe de que habíamos madurado ahora
Guess who was producing the who′s who of all amateurs?
Adivina quién estaba produciendo quién es quién de todos los aficionados.

Nos ofrecen el toquín, nos llevan al baile
They offer toquin, get us into the dance
Cobramos por sudar unos fajotes de aire
We Charge For Sweeping Air Slings
Nos ponen escenarios limpiados de balnearios
We Put Styling Scenarios
Rodeados de empresarios que se quedan con los cambios
Surrounded Of Businessmen Who Are Left With The Changes
Aquí con ustedes, sus pendejos favoritos
Here with you, your favourite fools
No manden los boletos, podemos llegar solitos
Dont send the tickets we can arrive by ourselves
Nos encanta que nos digan cómo hacer nuestras canciones
We enjoy them telling us how to do our songs
Viniendo de pasmeros a aceptar reclamaciones
Coming From Paseros to accept Claims

Meaning
The song 'Amateur (Rock Me Amadeus)' by Molotov humorously portrays the struggles and challenges faced by musicians, highlighting the hardships of touring, dealing with unprofessionalism, and the constant battle for recognition and respect in the music industry. The lyrics use metaphors like 'Amateur' and 'Rock Me, Amadeus' to symbolize the journey of being undervalued and underestimated while striving for success and acknowledgment in a competitive field.
