No Dañes al Mensajero

Paul Kelly

Don't Harm The Messenger

One day you might hear someone knocking
Loudly at your door
And you know it must be bad news
Absolutely sure

You must realise before you
Strike the very first blow
He's the one who only tells you
What you already know
Lay not a finger on him
Beat not oh bruise not
His skinny skin skin

No don't ever harm the messenger

Understand he came a long way
Only on a lonely road
Multiplying were his trials
Heavy was his load
Understand his heart was breaking
Never once did he sleep
And no hollow log kept him warm
No council did he keep
Give him food, give him a bed
Touch not one single hair on his head

No don't ever harm the messenger
Don't ever harm the messenger
It could be you

No Dañes al Mensajero

Un día podrías escuchar a alguien golpeando
Fuertemente en tu puerta
Y sabes que debe ser malas noticias
Absolutamente seguro

Debes darte cuenta antes de
Dar el primer golpe
Él es aquel que solo te dice
Lo que ya sabes
No le pongas un dedo encima
No lo golpees ni lo lastimes
Su piel delgada piel piel

No, nunca dañes al mensajero

Comprende que ha recorrido un largo camino
Solo por un camino solitario
Se multiplicaban sus pruebas
Pesada era su carga
Comprende que su corazón se rompía
Nunca una vez durmió
Y ningún tronco hueco lo mantuvo caliente
Ningún consejo mantuvo
Dale comida, dale una cama
No toques ni un solo cabello de su cabeza

No, nunca dañes al mensajero
No dañes al mensajero
Podrías ser tú
