El Padre
Café Tacvba
The Father
It was that day he woke up
when he realized
that he had become
what bothered him the most.
Suddenly he discovered
that he was thinking
just like his father
in the old house.
Since then when he speaks
he discovers ideas
that just yesterday
were not yet in his head.
Now he prefers to stay silent
to get used to
the voice that will come out
is the same as his father's.
He runs to the mirror
look at that wrinkle
you are becoming
the one who gives you the most hatred.
People look at him the same
and he feels different
discovering the whole world
from other eyes.
They are afraid that in the end
tomorrow
from this hatred and this change
he won't remember anything.
(repeat the notes)
He runs to the mirror...
