Cartomante [English translation]

Nowadays it's good to protect yourself

Turn the cheek to whoever it is

Nowadays, stay calm

Whatever may happen, think of your children

Don't go to bars, forget your friends

Don't walk in the squares, don't run risks

Don't speak of the fear of life we feel

Don't stick your finger into our sore spots

Ah...

Nowadays, don't give them a reason

Because I want you alive

Be patient, God is with us

God is with us to our necks

It's written, it's been foreseen

By all mind readers, by fortune tellers

It's all in the cards, in all the stars

In the shells that are cast and in the prophecies

Ah...

The King of Spades goes down

The King of Diamonds goes down

The King of Clubs goes down

Goes down, nothing remains

The King of Spades goes down

The King of Diamonds goes down

The King of Clubs goes down

Goes down, nothing remains

The King of Spades goes down

The King of Diamonds goes down

The King of Clubs goes down

Goes down, nothing remains

The King of Spades goes down

The King of Diamonds goes down

The King of Clubs goes down

Goes down, nothing remains

The King of Spades goes down

The King of Diamonds goes down

The King of Clubs goes down

Goes down, nothing remains

The King of Spades goes down

The King of Diamonds goes down

The King of Clubs goes down

Goes down, nothing remains
