Argentina primer mundo
Eladia Blázquez
Argentina First World
In the middle of this 'mambo' and the deepest delirium...
the first world sign, they came to hang on us.
So grotesque is the absurd, so filthy is the pigsty
that watching the news, I laughed so as not to cry!
Everyone is in the money, turned upside down
They sold us even the parrot, the haughtiness, the dignity!
They never cease to amaze us, and the folly is so great...
That with milk and even wine, nowadays...
You have to distrust them!
And it hurts me that it's true... With the deepest pain.
Because if this is the first world, where is this world?
If it seems like the utopia of a drunkard, I'll make it short for you...
They stole the cake, the honor, and the truth!
They are rotting our air, they changed our language,
today pigeon 'shit' is cleaner than honor!
Justice now without a blindfold winks at a corrupt one,
and arranges the disorder, of power and favor!
In a crazy 'anything goes', a well-groomed poodle
eats more than a retiree who can't make ends meet.
And in the harsh indifference, between cholera and 'scam'...
There's a judge who plays dumb and also...
There's a donkey they make a judge!
