Mi Amigo Satan

Joaquín Sabina Joaquín Sabina

My Friend Satan

The clock in the living room struck twelve
Tired from sleep, I turned off the light
When I heard a strong voice calling me
And Lucifer appeared to me

Don't tremble in fear, he warned me it's false
What the priests have told you about me
I know your tricks, I told the devil
Find another Faust and let me sleep

The heaven you dream of, he angrily replied
Is a private club for normal people
I come to take you on a journey with me
To the land from which no one has ever returned

He made a gesture with his hand
And in space I found myself
Flying with wings of foam
Looking at the earth beneath my feet

We crossed swarms of stars swiftly
While his voice sounded in my ear
Many centuries ago, he said, in heaven
There was a bloody revolution

A group of angels rose up
Against God's absolute power
Like all defeated, I knew exile
Slander, hatred, and humiliation

But I assure you, if we had won
Neither death, nor hell, nor five, nor two
Neither yours, nor mine, nor hatred, nor work
Would have existed, neither devil nor God

Let me live with you
Demon friend, I pleaded
Don't make me return to life
My old faith lost

Then a barbaric thunder was heard
And sweating, I had to wake up in my bed
My devil friend vanished shouting
Tell what you know to humanity

Since then I steal, drink, kill, drag
A miserable criminal life
Because I know death is waiting for me
In my friend Satan's sweet hell

Yes, what I tell you is a true story
Believe me or not, as you wish
But don't close the door on the devil
If he calls one night to your room
