Lyrics
Español
Yo fui capaz de darme entero y es por eso que me encuentro hecho pedazos, y me encuentro abandonao. Porque me di, sin ver a quién me daba, y hoy tengo como premio que estar arrodillao. Arrodillao frente al altar de la mentira, frente a tantas alcancías, que se llaman corazón; y comulgar en tanta hipocresía, por el pan diario, por un rincón. Arrodillao, hay que vivir, pa' merecer algún favor; que si de pie te ponés, para gritar tanta ruina y maldad. Crucificao, te vas a ver, por la moral de los demás; en este Gólgota cruel, donde el más vil, ése, la va de Juez. No me han dejao más que el consuelo de mis noches, de mis noches de bohemia, mezclar sueños con alcohol. Ni quiero más, me basta estando solo, teniendo por amigo un vaso de licor. Que por lo menos con monedas he comprado, a quién no podrá venderme, quién me prestará valor para cumplir en este circo diario, con las piruetas de tanto clown.
English · machine translation
I was able to give myself whole and that's why I'm in pieces. that I find myself in pieces, and I find myself abandoned. Because I gave myself, without seeing to whom I gave myself, and today I have as a reward to be on my knees. Kneeling in front of the altar of lies, in front of so many piggy banks, that are called heart; and to take communion in so much hypocrisy, for the daily bread, for a corner. Kneeling, you have to live, to deserve some favor; that if you stand up, to shout so much ruin and evil. Crucified, you will be crucified, for the morals of others; in this cruel Golgotha, where the most vile, that one, will be the judge. They have left me but the consolation of my nights, of my bohemian nights, mixing dreams with alcohol. Nor do I want more, it's enough for me to be alone, having for a friend a glass of liquor. That at least with coins I have bought, Who will not be able to sell me, Who will lend me courage to perform in this daily circus, with the pirouettes of so many clowns.
