Como Si Tú Fueras El Comunismo
He llegado a la casa
Y he tenido la impresión
De que tardo un siglo en llegar
De que tardo un año en subir
De que tardo una hora en entrar
Y un segundo en verte y reír.
Siempre tengo esa prisa, no sé,
Si será que te quiero contar
Como libro el pellejo del día
Absorviéndole el agua a la sal.
Creo que el colmo de la vida
Es contar lo que nos pasa,
Hacer la fábula florida
De nuestra tragedia.
Unos no arriesgan a los hombres
Para ir a la luna,
Y se asesinan palestinos
Por tandas de miles.
Ya yo no se que decir,
Es el colmo de la vida
Contar lo que nos pasa,
Mientras los viejos errores
Reclaman silencio ...
Y yo soy sólo un hombre que pasa,
Un hombre que vende su cuello en las calles,
Cual todos aquí.
Todos los años me pongo ropa limpia,
Y salgo a ti
Como si tú me lavaras las mentiras,
Y salgo a ti
Como si tú me lavaras la sangre,
Y salgo a ti
Todos los años yo llego a mi casa,
Y salgo a ti
Como si tú fueras el comunismo,
Y salgo a ti
Como si tú fueras el comunismo,
Y salgo a ti ...
As If You Were Communism
I arrived home
And I had the impression
That it took me a century to arrive
That it took me a year to climb
That it took an hour to enter
And a second to see you and laugh.
I always have that rush, I don't know,
If it's because I want to tell you
Like a book the skin of the day
Absorbing the water from the salt.
I think the height of life
Is to tell what happens to us,
To make the flowery fable
Of our tragedy.
Some don't risk men
To go to the moon,
And Palestinians are murdered
In batches of thousands.
I don't know what to say anymore,
It's the height of life
To tell what happens to us,
While old mistakes
Demand silence...
And I'm just a passing man,
A man who sells his neck on the streets,
Like everyone here.
Every year I put on clean clothes,
And I go to you
As if you were washing away my lies,
And I go to you
As if you were washing away the blood,
And I go to you
Every year I arrive home,
And I go to you
As if you were communism,
And I go to you
As if you were communism,
And I go to you...
