You're Ready

Estás Listo

It's time to take the stage,Es el momento de salir a escena,
don't look for more disguises.no busques más disfraces.
You're plotting something to surprise them,Estás tramando algo que los sorprenda,
but the costume won't do.pero no sirve el traje.
You're going to change the set again,Vas a cambiar de nuevo el decorado,
the monitor, some jelly,el monitor, alguna gelatina,
but these people are here for your life,pero esta gente viene por tu vida,
and you don't have to give it to them.y no tenés que darle.
It's your handful of simple words,Es tu puñado de palabras simples
four brilliant phrases,cuatro frases brillantes,
you're smoking, drinking beerestás fumando, tomando cerveza
and enjoying the ride.y disfrutando el viaje.
You're going to change the order of the topicsVas a cambiar el orden de los temas
and give away a sad smile,y regalar una triste sonrisa,
but these people paid for your lifepero esta gente pagó por tu vida
and you don't have to give it to them.y no tenés que darle.
Kid, you're ready to step into the arena,Pibe, estás listo para salir a la arena,
the shine and flashes dazzled you;te encandilaron el brillo y los flashes;
although, it's clear, you're not from that class.aunque, está claro, no sos de esa clase.
You have lucid answers to everything,Tenés respuestas lúcidas a todo,
you say you're a street kid.decís que sos un chico de la calle.
Still, you're playing, in your own way,Igual estás haciendo, a tu modo,
the same game you criticized...el mismo juego que vos criticaste ...
Kid! You're ready!Pibe! Estás listo!
Everything is ready, as usual,Todo está listo, como de costumbre,
now you're going to face it.ahora vas a encontrarte.
You're taking something to hold you up,Estás tomando algo que te sostenga,
a coward trapeze artist.un trapecista cobarde.
You're going to tune the instrument again,Vas a afinar de nuevo el instrumento,
ask for help, look aside,pedir ayuda, mirar al costado,
but these people are here for your lifepero esta gente viene por tu vida
and you don't have to give it to them.y no tenés que darle.
And you don't, and you don't have to give it to them.Y no tenés, y no tenés que darle.
And you don't, and you don't...Y no tenés, y no tenés ...
