Epopeya de Edipo de Tebas - Les Luthiers

De Edipo de Tebas

Haciendo memoria

Os cuento la historia

Con penas y glorias

De Edipo de Tebas

Le dijo el oráculo

Edipo tu vida

Se pone movida

Serás parricida

Le dijo el oráculo

Seguía diciendo

Si bien yo detesto

Hablarte de esto

Se viene, se viene un incesto

Seguía diciendo

Sabiendo tal cosa

Su padre el rey Layo

Veloz como un rayo

Le dijo a un lacayo

Sabiendo tal cosa

Te irás con mi hijo

No quiero que crezca

Haz tu que perezca

Como te parezca

Te irás con mi hijo

Cumplida la orden

El muy desdichado

Con los pies atados

Quedose, quedose colgado

Cumplida la orden

Edipo salvose

Y a Layo matolo

Peleándolo él solo

Al cielo enviolo

Edipo salvose

Semanas mas tarde

A Tebas avanza

Resolver alcanza

Cierta adivinanza

Semanas mas tarde

La Esfinge de Tebas

Al ser derrotada

Se ofusca, se enfada

Y se hace, y se hace pomada

La Esfinge de Tebas

Y sin darse cuenta

Casado él está

Con quien saben ya

Su propia mamá

Y sin darse cuenta

De sus propios hijos

Hay larga secuela

Y aunque esto le duela

Yocasta es abuela

De sus propios hijos

Edipo al saberlo

En una entrevista

Con su analista

Se quita, se quita la vista

Edipo al saberlo

Al ver a una esfinge

Planteando un dilema

Huid del problema

Cambiando de tema

Al ver a una esfinge

Madres amantes

Tomad precauciones

Por las efusiones

De hijos varones

Madres amantes

Por no repetir

La historia nefasta

De Edipo y Yocasta

Lo dicho, lo dicho ya basta

Por no repetir

Of Oedipus of Thebes

Making memory

I tell you the story

With sorrows and glories

Of Oedipus of Thebes

the oracle told him

oedipus your life

she gets active

you will be a parricide

the oracle told him

kept saying

although I hate

talk to you about this

It is coming, an incest is coming

kept saying

Knowing such a thing

His father of him King Laius

fast as lightning

he told a footman

Knowing such a thing

you will go with my son

I don't want it to grow

make you perish

as you like

you will go with my son

the order fulfilled

the very unfortunate

with bound feet

He hung, he hung

the order fulfilled

Oedipus saved himself

And I killed Laius

fighting it alone

I send it to heaven

Oedipus saved himself

weeks later

to Thebes advances

solve reaches

certain riddle

weeks later

The Sphinx of Thebes

being defeated

He gets angry, he gets angry

And it's done, and it's made ointment

The Sphinx of Thebes

and without realizing

married he is

With whom do you already know?

his own mom

and without realizing

of their own children

there is long sequel

And although this hurts

Jocasta is a grandmother

of their own children

Oedipus knowing

In an interview

With your analyst

It takes off, it takes off the view

Oedipus knowing

Seeing a sphinx

posing a dilemma

run away from the problem

Changing the subject

Seeing a sphinx

loving mothers

take precautions

for the effusions

Of male children

loving mothers

for not repeating

the grim story

Of Oedipus and Jocasta

What has been said, what has been said is enough

for not repeating
