Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Estás desorientado y no sabés qué 'trole' hay que tomar para seguir. Y en este desencuentro con la fe querés cruzar el mar y no podés. La araña que salvaste te picó -¡qué vas a hacer!- y el hombre que ayudaste te hizo mal -¡dale nomás!- Y todo el carnaval gritando pisoteó la mano fraternal que Dios te dio. ¡Qué desencuentro! ¡Si hasta Dios está lejano! Llorás por dentro, todo es cuento, todo es vil. En el corso a contramano un trampeó a Jesús... No te fíes ni de tu hermano, se te cuelgan de la cruz... Quisiste con ternura, y el amor te devoró de atrás hasta el riñón. Se rieron de tu abrazo y ahí nomás te hundieron con rencor todo el arpón Amargo desencuentro, porque ves que es al revés... Creiste en la honradez y en la moral... ¡qué estupidez! Por eso en tu total fracaso de vivir, ni el tiro del final te va a salir.
English · machine translation
You are disoriented and don't know which 'trolley' to take to go on. And in this misunderstanding with faith you want to cross the sea and you cannot. The spider you saved has bitten you -what are you going to do? and the man you helped did you wrong -And the whole carnival And the whole carnival shouting trampled the brotherly hand that God gave you. What a misunderstanding! Even God is far away! You cry inside, all is fairy tale, all is vile. In the corso on the wrong side of the road a groupie cheated Jesus... Don't even trust your brother, they hang you from the cross... You loved with tenderness, and love devoured you from the back to the kidney. They laughed at your embrace and right there and then they sank you with rancor all the harpoon Bitter misunderstanding, because you see that it's the other way around... You believed in honesty and in morality... what a stupidity! That's why in your total failure to live, not even the final shot is not going to come out.
