Nunca sabré [English translation]

On the television

of a known face, strolls the ass

that desperately, from channel to channel

looks for a secure job.

There are radio rumors

that, in a sensuous voice bet on war,

Improbable or distant, possibly global.

Better to be alert.

The newspapers headline

with concerted euphoria, that life is expensive

and it's not christian to celebrate.

And yet, we must celebrate.

I'll never know if it's better to die in battle

or to get the medal for "I'll never fight".

I'll never know, if it's wiser to be hook's bait

or a hard-hair shark to be feared.

I'll never know why I have to be a gentleman

if they take my horse and I have to go on foot.

I'll never know if it's compensatory to sell so much my soul

and then reclaim it with shoots like this: Boom! Boom! Boom! Hey!

I'll never know.

On television

hearts dance to the rhythm of tragedies.

When we are wounded, I don't know why,

we are all at our best.

And in the absolute chaos, the body demands that the party starts already.

Hard blows to be celebrated.

Worse times to celebrate.

I'll never know if it's better to die in battle

or to get the medal for "I'll never fight".

I'll never know, if it's wiser to be hook's bait

or a hard-hair shark to be feared.

I'll never know why I have to be a gentleman

if they take my horse and I have to go on foot.

I'll never know if it's compensatory to sell so much my soul

and then reclaim it with shoots like this: Boom! Boom! Boom! Hey!

I'll never know.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Hey!

I'll never know.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Hey!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Hey!
