Gulliver - Joaquín Sabina

Un da

los enanos se rebelarn

contra Gulliver.

Todos los hombres de corazn diminuto

armados con palos y con hoces

asaltarn al nico gigante

con sus pequeos rencores, con su bilis,

con su rabia de enanos afeitados y miopes.

Pobre de t, Gulliver, pobre de t,

el da que todos los enanos

unan sus herramientas y su odio,

sus costumbres, sus vicios, sus carteras,

sus horarios.

No podrn, no podrn,

no podrn perdonarte que seas alto.

Para ellos la generosidad no es ms que un lujo que no pueden pagarse,

viven alimentados por la envidia que los habita en forma de costumbre.

Mralos revolverse recelosos tras sus gafas de concha.

Te acusarn, te acusarn, te acusarn:

de ser el tuerto en el pas de los ciegos,

de ser quien habla en el pas de los mudos,

de ser el loco en el pas de los cuerdos,

de andar en el pas de los cansados,

de ser sabio en el pas de los necios,

de ser malo en el pas de los buenos,

de divertirte en el pas de los serios,

de estar libre en el pas de los presos,

de estar vivo en el pas de los enanos,

de ser la voz que clama en el desierto,

de ser la voz que clama en el desierto

one day

the dwarves will rebel

against Gulliver.

All the men with tiny hearts

armed with sticks and sickles

they will assault the only giant

with his little grudges, with his bile,

with his rage of shaved and myopic dwarfs.

Poor tea, Gulliver, poor tea,

the day that all the dwarfs

Unite the tools and your hatred of him,

their customs, their vices, their portfolios,

their schedules.

They won't, they won't,

They won't be able to forgive you for being tall.

For them, generosity is nothing more than a luxury that they cannot afford,

they live fed by the envy that inhabits them in the form of habit.

Watch them shift warily behind their horn-rimmed glasses.

They will accuse you, they will accuse you, they will accuse you:

of being the one-eyed in the country of the blind,

of being the one who speaks in the land of the dumb,

of being the madman in the country of the sane,

to walk in the country of the tired,

to be wise in the land of fools,

of being bad in the country of the good,

to have fun in the country of the serious,

to be free in the land of prisoners,

to be alive in the country of the dwarfs,

to be the voice that cries in the desert,

to be the voice that cries in the desert
