El Whisky De Dios

God's Whiskey

El Whisky De Dios

You never know when they're taking your pictureNo se sabe cuando te estan sacando la foto
that they'll use to find you tomorrowcon la que mañana van a buscarte
Black and white head of the protestCabeza blanca y negra de la manifestacion
demanding justice loudly everywherepide justicia a viva voz por todas partes

And that day, when the flash of goodbye went offY ese dia, cuando partia el flash del adios
eternally capturing your unforgettable faceeternizando tu rostro insalvable,
Who knows what you were thinking, God says whiskeyQuien sabe en que pensabas, digan whisky dice Dios,
as the show begins and ends lateque ya comienza la funcion y acaba tarde.

What a tragedy, what bad luck, what a curseQue tragedia, que mala suerte, que maldicion,
What would this line say if you were here?Que diria este renglon si estuvieras?
Who knows if the countdown beganQuien sabe si la cuenta regresiva empezo
when they triggered you in that random photoal gatillarte en esa foto cualquiera

What sorrow, what bottomless basement, what smellQue desconsuelo, que sotano sin suelo, que olor
of death without resurrection is in the aira muerte sin resurreccion se respira
Risking our lives, a fierce lotteryJugandonos la vida, loteria feroz,
Who knows if this is my farewell songQuien sabe si esta es mi cancion de despedida

You never know when you're buying the clothesNo se sabe cuando te estas comprando la ropa
they'll use to dress you tomorrowcon la que mañana van a velarte
Colors overshadowed by the flowers of a showColores opacados por las flores de un show
that no one in the audience wants to sit throughque en la platea nadie quiere sentarse

And that day when the saleswoman wrappedY ese dia cuando la vendedora envolvio
with an automation that hurtcon una automatizacion que dolia
Who knows what you were thinking inside the fitting roomQuien sabe en que pensabas dentro del probador
but it cost more than they told youpero costaba mas de lo que te decian

What a tragedy, what anger, how much resignationQue tragedia, que bronca, cuanta resignacion,
What would this line say if you were here?Que diria este renglon si estuvieras?
Who knows if the countdown beganQuien sabe si la cuenta regresiva empezo
when you chose pants from the displaycuando elegiste un pantalon de la vidriera

What sorrow, what world without a handkerchief, what loveQue desconsuelo, que mundo sin pañuelo, que amor
waited for you forever on the corner?te habra esperado para siempre en la esquina?
Risking our lives, a fierce lotteryJugandonos la vida, loteria feroz,
Who knows if this is my farewell songQuien sabe si esta es mi cancion de despedida

You never know when you're waving as you pass byNo se sabe cuando estas saludando al pasar
someone you'll never see again in your lifea alguien que ya nunca veras en tu vida
Unbearable routine of thinking, the endRutina insoportable de pensar, el final
is just someone who waves and walks awayes solo alguien que saluda y que camina

And that day when your air kiss brushedY ese dia cuando tu beso al aire rozo
the fine finish of their facela fina terminacion de su cara
Who knows what you were thinking when they barely leftQuien sabe en que pensabas cuando apenas marcho
with the innocence of someone saying see you tomorrowcon la inocencia del que dice hasta mañana

What a tragedy, how useless it is to watch the clockQue tragedia, que inutil que es mirar el reloj,
What would this line say if you were here?Que diria este renglon si estuvieras?
Who knows if the countdown beganQuien sabe si la cuenta regresiva empezo
with that careless kiss on the sidewalkcon aquel beso descuidado en la vereda

What sorrow, poison in farewell candiesQue desconsuelo, veneno en caramelos de adios,
What death without a heart followed it?Que muerte sin corazon lo seguia?
Risking our lives, a fierce lotteryJugandonos la vida, loteria feroz,
Who knows if this is my farewell song?Quien sabe si esta es mi cancion de despedida?
