El Sacrificio
Fito Páez
The Sacrifice
Macho goat without defects all for Yahweh
It was Cain, he was the murderer of his brother Abel
All the arks will drown except Noah's
Abraham, kill your son, to see if you are faithful
In Egypt, the Pharaoh couldn't find Moses
Jesus Christ condemned to death in Jerusalem
And how do you carry the sacrifice?
And how do you carry the sacrifice?
Six million Jews drying up in the sun
Ezra Pound in a cage all over New York
The Mahatma of India bloodied with love
And Garrincha from Brazil, I see the disillusion
And how do you carry the sacrifice?
Look and you will see your sacrifice
I don't know what we were talking about yesterday
We were talking yesterday that something provokes this place
I don't know what we were talking about yesterday
We said yesterday that we can't explain
The fire that burned the house
I don't know if it's better to forget
I know that disappearing is the nature of an apocryphal ritual
We are going to disappear and, if you look closely, everything will disappear
Little Eva in her violated coffin, Coco Chanel
Dorotea, the captive of the Ranquel fury
Hebe Antigone exiled by calamity
Jorge Luis, the Argentine, in his Signal gin
The death cattle prod dances its carnival
With time, with maids, with seahorses
With galaxies, with efforts, with happiness
With the dead and with all those who are yet to come
I too am wandering inside my coffin
She wants everything dark and I prefer the light
Try and you will see your sacrifice
How do you carry the sacrifice?
Try and you will see your sacrifice
