Las Increíbles Aventuras Del Señor Tijeras [English translation]
Las Increíbles Aventuras Del Señor Tijeras [English translation]
Hidden behind his desk I saw
A short little guy
proper and helpful
He answers the phones
and he’s never there
He’s looking at his secretary
imagining
Her naked in bed
And he goes back to work
.
He goes in the film booth
and notes the position
He makes gestures and mumbles
He goes home with the film
He gives his wife a kiss
And goes back to shut himself
Away in his room in the dark
To take care of morality
.
She enters then leaves, undressing
Slowly and almost smiling
Tall, white, with a full figure
She says “now”
And walks forward
Look at the little man
Who goes crazy
When she comes out on the screen
.
The man lies
on the carpet
He touches and kisses her
But he doesn’t name her
He restrains himself, sweating
And then
With his silver scissors
He cuts her body,
He cuts her skin,
He deforms her face
And now mutilated
He loads her onto the screen
Just in time for the morning
.
I know neither your body
Nor more about who you are
I saw your name in the papers,
And nobody saw you
The bleeding screen
Now bids us goodbye
I will see you
In twenty years on TV,
Cut and boring
In full color
In full color
.
Censored part:
I hate the people
who have the power
Those who say what is good
And what is bad as well
Only the people, my friend,
Are able to understand
The censors
would tremble with fear
In front of a free man
With his body in the sun
