Caudillo - Ricardo Arjona

Empezó haciendo panfletos con consignas populares

Un letrero «patria o muerte» en la pared y el che guevara

Defendía el capital de carlos marx con argumentos colosales

Así lo conocí años atrás a los dieciocho

Enemigo de la radio y la canción con estribillo

El entorno le ayudaba pa' engordar tantos rencores

No perdía la ocasión pa' hacer valer sus argumentos de caudillo

Y el futuro se asomaba con sorpresas tras la esquina

Caudillo

Tatuate en la piel lo que prometas

Que el tiempo puede hacerte un mercenario

Y ser tan solo otro falso profeta

Caudillo

De la revolución a la avaricia

Hay solo un par de pasos en la brecha

Cuidado y te resbalas por lo fácil

Se graduó de abogado un abril y en proceso

Los ideales empezaron a sufrir reumas y achaques

Reclutado en un partido liberal fue diputado en el congreso

Su oratoria se hizo experta en la mentira y en el debate

Yo lo vi haciendo grafitis «patria o muerte» donde quiera

Yo era el flaco con guitarra no se bien si se recuerde

Se ve raro con corbata ferragamo y louis vuitton en la cartera

Que fácil se acomodan los ideales a capricho

Caudillo

Hoy silbas las canciones de la radio

El che ya no es la foto en tu castillo

Hoy eres de ti mismo el mercenario

Caudillo

Se te olvido tatuarte las promesas

A donde fue el muchacho solidario

Que dividía el pan que hubo en su

Mesa

Hay manifestación frente al palacio de

Gobierno

El tipo en el balcón presidencial

Se le parece a aquel muchaho

He started making pamphlets with popular slogans

A "homeland or death" sign on the wall and che guevara

He defended the capital of Carlos Marx with colossal arguments

That's how I met him years ago at eighteen

Enemy of the radio and the song with a chorus

The environment helped him to fatten up so many grudges

He did not miss the opportunity to assert his caudillo arguments

And the future loomed with surprises around the corner

Leader

Tattoo on your skin what you promise

That time can make you a mercenary

And be just another false prophet

Leader

From revolution to greed

There's only a couple of steps in the gap

Be careful and you slip for the easy

He graduated as a lawyer one April and in process

The ideals began to suffer from rheumatism and ailments

Recruited in a liberal party he was a deputy in congress

Her oratory of him became an expert in lying and in debate

I saw him doing graffiti "homeland or death" wherever he wants

I was the skinny one with the guitar I don't know if I remember

He looks weird with a ferragamo tie and louis vuitton in his bag

How easy ideals are accommodated to whim

Leader

Today you whistle the songs on the radio

He is no longer the photo in your castle

Today you are the mercenary of yourself

Leader

You forgot to tattoo your promises

Where did the supportive boy go?

That he divided the bread that was in his

Desk

There is a demonstration in front of the palace of

Government

The guy on the presidential balcony

He looks like that boy
