Los Fantasmas
Luis Eduardo Aute
The Ghosts
Here come the ghosts
Always the same ghosts
With their ghostly setups
What a drag!
There are two types of ghosts
Proudly roaming around in their condition
One is the one with a rich father
Inheritance, estates, and a hot girlfriend
The other is the theoretical-archivist-genius-cultured salon type
And there are also other types of ghosts
Maybe a bunch or two
The first one races in a Porsche
Hunts, shows off, and has a fortune in Switzerland
Has an uncle in the government
Coat of arms (doesn't work) and fine education
Always has a cocktail, a wedding, and a dinner
What a tremendous problem
Dresses like a playboy, says ciao
And waiter, serve me another bourbon
The second one is a multi-marginalized
Just a decoration on a table in some pub
He's a scholar, he's in the know about things
And in the heart of the matter
He's all about art and essays with a stopwatch
Notebook and fifth row, please
They're all sellouts, except him
Who is pure and a martyr of misunderstanding
And we are all ghosts
There's no one who isn't a ghost
And if they don't recognize it
They won't be
