Caudillo
Empezó haciendo panfletos con consignas populares
Un letrero: patria o muerte; en la pared y el Che Guevara
Defendía el capital de carlos marx con argumentos colosales
Así lo conocí años atrás a los dieciocho
Enemigo de la radio y la canción con estribillo
El entorno le ayudaba pa' engordar tantos rencores
No perdía la ocasión pa' hacer valer sus argumentos de caudillo
Y el futuro se asomaba con sorpresas tras la esquina
Caudillo
Tatuate en la piel lo que prometas
Que el tiempo puede hacerte un mercenario
Y ser tan solo otro falso profeta
Caudillo
De la revolución a la avaricia
Hay solo un par de pasos en la brecha
Cuidado y te resbalas por lo fácil
Se graduó de abogado un abril y en proceso
Los ideales empezaron a sufrir reumas y achaques
Reclutado en un partido liberal fue diputado en el congreso
Su oratoria se hizo experta en la mentira y en el debate
Yo lo vi haciendo grafitis "patria o muerte" donde quiera
Yo era el flaco con guitarra no se bien si se recuerde
Se ve raro con corbata ferragamo y louis vuitton en la cartera
Que fácil se acomodan los ideales a capricho
Caudillo
Hoy silbas las canciones de la radio
El che ya no es la foto en tu castillo
Hoy eres de ti mismo el mercenario
Caudillo
Se te olvido tatuarte las promesas
A donde fue el muchacho solidario
¿Que dividía el pan que hubo en su mesa?
Hay manifestación frente al palacio de gobierno
El tipo en el balcón presidencial
Se le parece a aquel muchaho
Leader
He started making pamphlets with popular slogans
A sign: homeland or death; on the wall and Che Guevara
He defended the capital of Charles Marx with colossal arguments
That's how I met him years ago at eighteen
Enemy of the radio and the song with a chorus
The environment helped him to gain so much resentment
He did not miss the opportunity to assert his arguments as a leader
And the future loomed with surprises around the corner
Leader
Tattoo what you promise on your skin
That time can make you a mercenary
And be just another false prophet
Leader
From revolution to greed
There's just a couple of steps in the gap
Be careful and you will slip because it is easy
He graduated as a lawyer in April and is in the process
The ideals began to suffer from rheumatism and ailments
Recruited into a liberal party, he was a deputy in congress.
His oratory became an expert in lying and debate
I saw him doing graffiti "homeland or death" wherever he wanted
I was the skinny one with the guitar, I don't know if you remember
He looks strange with a Ferragamo tie and Louis Vuitton in his bag
How easily ideals adapt to a whim
Leader
Today you whistle the songs on the radio
Che is no longer the photo in your castle
Today you are yourself the mercenary
Leader
You forgot to tattoo your promises
Where did the supportive boy go?
What divided the bread that was on his table?
There is a demonstration in front of the government palace
The guy on the presidential balcony
He looks like that boy
