A Spanish guy with a Haitian father singing in English... mmm sounds interesting :) I had never heard this song before but I loved it the very first time I listened to it.

Transcript

Good morning guys and gals. Here we are once again trying to figure out the true identity of this mysterious person that we have all come to know. But today is the most important day of my life because today we have with us the person who has the salvation of the world in his hands.....  (Salvation of the World in his hands)

I wanna have a nice day.
You lose the time with me baby.
I’m going my way.
And have a nice day.

When I say I'm no more, to good or evil, none, they always ask the same: you must choose one of both. People’s life is… [and I’m going my way] ...really nice, Come on! (Salvation of the world in his hands).

You lose the time with me baby.
I have to look after myself.
I hope you have a nice day.
I’m going my way.

While I walked so high, immersed in my mind, I met someone, with a gun still hot. I saw his head under my boots, what you want me to do? Come on now this…

You lose the time with me baby.
I have to look after myself.
I hope you have a nice day.
And have a nice day.

Yea, yea. While I walked so high, suddenly I realized I’m feeling like a superheroe star. I’ll save the World, just with my truth, what you want me to do?

You lose the time with me baby.
I have to look after myself.
I hope you have a nice day.
I’m going my way.

You lose the time with me baby.
I have to look after myself.

Good morning guys and gals. Here we are once again trying to figure out the true identity of this mysterius person that we have all come to know. But today is the most important day of my life because today we have with us the person who has the salvation of the world in his hands..... (salvation of the world in his hands!)

You lose the time with me baby.
I have to look after myself.

Explanations

GUYS AND GALS= (col.) ladies and gentlemen. The word "gals" /gælz/ is to "girls/women" the same as "guys" is to "boys/men". We often use that word in the expression "guys and gals", but not so much when alone ("guy" is way much more usual and "guys" can also include girls).


ONCE AGAIN= An emphatic form for "again".


FIGURE OUT= Understand, guess.

WE HAVE ALL COME TO KNOW= If you come to know something you get to know it through a slow and gradual process.

YOU LOSE THE TIME WITH ME= Whatever you want of me, you're not going to get it so stop trying and leave me alone.

I'M GOING MY WAY= I go where I choose to go and/or I do what I choose to do and nobody can interfere with that.

HAVE A NICE DAY= Goodbye, I wish you a good day.

LOOK AFTER MYSELF= Take care of myself.

HIGH= ecstatic, very happy. So high = very very high.

A GUN STILL HOT= That's because he had just shot it, so maybe he had just killed someone ?!?!?!?! An assassination in the middle of a happy happy song?! What's this!?!

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO?= Yeah, the auxiliary DO is missing, so you fail the grammar exam :P

MYSTERIUS= He he, yea, you got it right, it's a spelling mistake (I just made it on purpose to see if you notice): mysterious.

Meaning

OMG, I have no idea what this song is talking about, I'm curious about it myself, so if you know, pleeeease...
