Pie de Guerra
Joaquín Sabina
War Footing
Man and woman are at war
The fool, the smart one, the fat one and the skinny one
The black one, the white one, the debit and the credit
Mesalina and the sack man
Mambo and hip-hop are at war
The yin, the yang, the kid and the old man
Jeckyll and Hyde, Monsieur de Sade, masochist
Pilate, reason and skin
Come to war, lie down once
In the middle of the road
While the earth spins and a fish swims
There is still life
Spit and lipstick are at war
The half-asleep and the nightmare
The knight and the porcupine
The last rites and pimples
The lame and the centipede are at war
The elevators and purgatory
Tomorrow is the eve of the day after
Past flowers at a wake
From China to Maghreb
In a Rolls Royce or on a camel
On every corner
They make web pages
Or stamp a seal
The cool and the heat are at war
The dead calm and the swell
The give and take, happiness, resentment
The store of everything and nothing
The martyr and the deserter are on a war footing
The lukewarm and the kamikaze
Ready to bleed you against me
Why don't we make peace?
The jack and the ace are at war
The mirror and the pretense
The hospice resident, the daddy's boy
Einstein and the idiot
Yahweh, Mephisto, Buddha, Christ, Allah
The spinsters and the husbands
Bin Laden, Che Guevara, Superman
What was supposed to be, the crap it has been
Come to war, lie down once
In the middle of the road
While the earth spins and a fish swims
There is still life
From China to Maghreb
In a Rolls Royce or on a camel
On every corner
They make web pages
Or stamp a seal
The martyr and the deserter are on a war footing
The lukewarm and the kamikaze
Ready to bleed you against me
Why don't we make peace?
