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