Hostages

Rehenes

You were there when everything was fine.Vos estabas, cuando estaba todo bien.
And you weren't there when the street scene went wrong.Y no estabas, cuando el rollo marginal pinchó.
In the hood, you were an English prince.En el gueto eras un príncipe inglés.
You'll never lose your 'savoir faire' as a hard worker.De currante no vas a perder tu "savoir faire" jamás.

You were there, waiting for the MoroccanVos estabas, esperando al marroquí
at Barajas, the height of Stockholm syndrome.en Barajas, el colmo del síndrome Estocolmo.
Like that cultural season,Como aquella temporada cultural,
with hostages tied to the red piano.con rehenes, atados al piano rojo.

Let's go painted with the blood of both.Vayamos pintados con sangre de los dos.
Always, always (repeat)Siempre, Siempre (bis)

They await us with bullets of sweet silver,Nos esperan con balas de plata dulce,
melted from our dental arrangements.fundidas de arreglos dentales nuestros.
A man is a battlefield,Un hombre es un campo de batalla,
if he doesn't shut up, it's a revolution of carnations.si no se calla es una revolución de claveles.

Let's go painted with the blood of both.Vayamos pintados con sangre de los dos.
Always, always (repeat)Siempre,Siempre (bis)

Back then it was freedom,Entonces era la libertad,
sometimes I would kill for five more minutes.a veces mataría por cinco minutos más.
Back then it was freedom,Entonces era la libertad,
now it's my turn to run, baby.ahora me toca huir a mí, nene.

Let's go painted with the blood of both.Vayamos pintados con sangre de los dos.
Always, always.Siempre,Siempre.
Always.Siempre.
