Al cielo no (2003)
El Cuarteto de Nos
Not to heaven (2003)
It turns out I grabbed and decided to kill myself
Because there was nothing left to hold on to
It's not that I'm a downer
But not even a drugged Superman was going to save me
One thing I had very clear
I wasn't going to heaven even if they paid me
Hell was a wonder for me
Burning like a chicken on the grill
So yes, yes, I was going to ask
That I didn't intend to go to heaven
And to see who I had to talk to
That I had connections in Uruguay
So no, no, please
Not to heaven
I had always imagined heaven
Like when a cartoon character died
Like some horrible painting by Miguel Angel
Or like the paradise Dante told about
But who convinced me that heaven was boring
Although I already had a bit of hatred for it
Were the words of my grandma Popa
When she appeared to me playing the cup game
And she said: Look my love
Here in heaven everything is terrible
Because there's no lottery or peanuts
Or any bar to have anise
So no, no, please
Not to heaven
By chance I found out that eternity
Lasts a long time, and sometimes more
And I can't stand everything going on
Sitting on a cloud like a bladder
Playing the harp badly and out of tune
Surrounded by little angels always peeing
Removing cobwebs from my genitals
Because all the oriental women are virgins up there
I preferred to be in hell
Even if I had to endure
Rivera, Oribe, and Garzón
And the Peñarol fans
So no, no, please
Not to heaven
