Nos sobra, nos falta - Alberto Cortez

Nos sobra, nos falta

Nos falta, nos sobra

A veces las luces

A veces las sombras

Nos falta, nos sobra

Nos sobra, nos falta

A veces las fuerzas

Y a veces el alma

Nos sobran los homicidas

Que por la ley del más fuerte

Han adoptado la muerte

Como una forma de vida

Nos sobra la hipocresía

De acumular privilegios

Entre ladrones egregios

Y entre adorables arpías

Nos falta la bonhomía

De reparar los errores

Antes de hacerlos mayores

A golpe de letanías

Nos falta la valentía

De no llevar equipaje

Y es que nos falta coraje

Para romper la alcancía

Nos sobra, nos falta

Nos falta, nos sobra

Hay muchos que pagan

Y hay pocos que cobran

Nos sobran intermediarios

Que por amor al dinero

Nos manipulan arteros

Sudores, pan y salarios

Nos faltan líderes sanos

Que sin politiquerías

Hagan posible la vía

De convivir como hermanos

Que somos seres humanos

Y no nos toman en serio

Los que hacen suyo el criterio

Del perro del hortelano

Nos sobra, nos falta

Nos falta, nos sobra

Al uno sus ganas

Y al otro la obra

Nos falta, nos sobra

Nos sobra, nos falta

El tiempo de vernos

De frente las caras

Nos falta, nos sobra

Nos sobra, nos falta

We have plenty, we lack

We lack, we have plenty

sometimes the lights

sometimes the shadows

We lack, we have plenty

We have plenty, we lack

Sometimes the forces

and sometimes the soul

We have plenty of murderers

that by the law of the strongest

They have adopted death

as a way of life

We have plenty of hypocrisy

To accumulate privileges

among egregious thieves

And between lovely harpies

We lack the bonhomie

to fix the mistakes

Before I make them older

at the stroke of litanies

we lack the courage

Not to carry luggage

And it is that we lack courage

To break the piggy bank

We have plenty, we lack

We lack, we have plenty

There are many who pay

And there are few who charge

We have too many intermediaries

that for the love of money

They manipulate us devious

Sweats, bread and wages

We lack healthy leaders

that without politicking

Make the way possible

To live as brothers

that we are human beings

And they don't take us seriously

Those who endorse the criterion

of the dog in the manger

We have plenty, we lack

We lack, we have plenty

To one his desire

And to the other the work

We lack, we have plenty

We have plenty, we lack

The time to see each other

facing the faces

We lack, we have plenty

We have plenty, we lack
