El Reino De Los Ciegos
Alejandro Filio
The Kingdom of the Blind
The scriptures of false prophets tell
but they never warned us about these 'poets'
these opportunists with bad memory
gallant populists, surplus rhymers.
Creatures that grow tall like vines
drifting fashion, song, and money
intellectualizing the distinguished
from teenage taste and compulsive buyers.
There will be those who half-tell the truth of this case
there will be those who find it convenient to look the other way
that's how the game goes, and who cares
about the kingdom of the blind with its king, Arjona.
To sharpen the pencil and start the fight
there are as many arguments as there are listeners
but the best gauge of skill
will never be the monster with a thousand heads.
The south also exists as sung by Serrat
we shouldn't get confused or follow blindly
that's how the game goes, and who cares
about the kingdom of the blind with its king, Arjona.
