El actor intenta demostrar que es el rostro en cada multitud.The actor tries to prove that he's the face in every crowd.

Oh ahí está tu héroe perdiendo la vistaOh there stands your hero losing his sight
Confundido por sus síntomas y temblando de miedoConfused by his symptoms, and trembling with fright
Oh dale la llave, ¿no le mostrarás la luz?Oh give him the key, won't you show him the light.

El juez deja caer sus papeles con la audiencia llegando a su finThe judge lays down his papers with the hearing at an end
El cura de la parroquia te recuerda que es amigo de todosThe parish priest reminds you that he's everybody's friend
Y el actor malgasta su dinero tratando de seguir la moda.And the actor wastes his money trying to keep up with the trend.

El pescador echa el ancla con su captura de almas ahogadasThe fisherman weighs anchor with his catch of drowning souls
Los zorros temen a los cazadores mientras se esconden en sus madriguerasThe foxes fear the hunters as they hide deep in their holes
Mientras el actor se acuesta desnudo en su lecho de brasas ardientes.While the actor lies down naked on his bed of glowing coals.
