Moscas Verdes Para El Charlatán
La Renga
Green Flies for the Charlatan
Popcorn, for that open mouth,
and a rearview mirror to remind
that he messed up.
Green flies, for that big mouth,
and a treasure from his screw-up to remind
that he messed up.
He let his tongue slip, talking too much
about his mistakes.
Green flies, for the charlatan,
and a kick in the rear,
to remind
that was my screw-up.
I don't know why he spoke,
if later he regretted
his words,
maybe he feared that his luck
would beat his unconscious,
and not let him sleep.
I don't know why he spoke,
if later he regretted
his words,
maybe he feared that his luck
would beat his unconscious,
and not let him sleep,
green flies for the charlatan,
and may he never speak again
