Cancion De Alicia En El País
Fabiana Cantilo
Alice's Song in Wonderland
Who knows Alice this country
wasn't made for no reason.
You're going to leave, you're going to go out
but you stay,
where else are you going to go?
And it's because here, you know
the tongue twister tongue twister
the killer kills you
and it's too much for you.
That game that made you happy is over.
Don't tell what you saw in the gardens, the dream is over.
There are no walruses or turtles anymore
A river of heads crushed by the same foot
play cricket under the moon
We are in no man's land, but it's mine
The innocent are the guilty, says his lordship,
the King of Spades.
Don't tell what's behind that mirror,
you won't have power
nor lawyers, nor witnesses.
Light the lanterns that the witches
are thinking of coming back
to cloud our path.
We are in everyone's land, in life.
Over the past and over the future,
ruins upon ruins,
dear Alice.
That game that made you happy is over.
