La Gran Estafa

I need something
To distract me
A new summer
Your shadow on the wall
The trumpets sound
Threatening me
They cut my tongue
Before eating

If I enter the game
I don't like to lose
With a high forehead
No one waiting for me
Going out the door
What foolishness!
Throwing me to the dogs
Or running away

After all
One lives in solitude
And we were always
Alone, you and I
The big scam
And the final scene
Our silhouettes
Drifting away

They keep preaching
It's a matter of faith
Repeat it a thousand times
To be able to believe
The circumstances
Require this time
A new model
A new law

After all
One lives in solitude
And we were always
Alone, you and I
The big scam
And the final scene
Our silhouettes
Drifting away

After all
We saw it coming
We will endure
Holding our breath together
The big scam
The imperial canon
And all the signs
Warning us
