Confianzas - Gotan Project

Se sienta a la mesa y escribe

«con este poema no tomarás el poder» dice

«con estos versos no harás la Revolución» dice

«ni con miles de versos harás la Revolución» dice

Y más: esos versos no han de servirle para

Que peones maestros hacheros vivan mejor

Coman mejor o él mismo coma viva mejor

Ni para enamorar a una le servirán

No ganará plata con ellos

No entrará al cine gratis con ellos

No le darán ropa por ellos

No conseguirá tabaco o vino por ellos

Ni papagayos ni bufandas ni barcos

Ni toros ni paraguas conseguirá por ellos

Si por ellos fuera a la lluvia lo mojará

No alcanzará perdón o gracia por ellos

«con este poema no tomarás el poder» dice

«con estos versos no harás la Revolución» dice

«ni con miles de versos harás la Revolución» dice

Se sienta a la mesa y escribe

He sits at the table and writes

“with this poem you will not take power” he says

«With these verses you will not make the Revolution» he says

"Not even with thousands of verses will you make the Revolution" he says

And more: those verses should not be used to

May master axemen pawns live better

Eat better or himself eat better live

Not even to make one fall in love they will serve you

He will not earn money with them

You won't get into the movies for free with them

They will not give you clothes for them

He won't get tobacco or wine for them

Neither parrots nor scarves nor boats

Neither bulls nor umbrellas he will get for them

If he went to the rain for them, he would get wet

You won't get forgiveness or grace for them

“with this poem you will not take power” he says

«With these verses you will not make the Revolution» he says

"Not even with thousands of verses will you make the Revolution" he says

He sits at the table and writes
