Fue un Placer
Los Aldeanos
It Was a Pleasure
Now that everything has a price
And nothing is what it seems
Now that the benefit only goes to those who don’t deserve it
Good actions are fading away
And the strength of some depends on the weakness of others
Everything changes, looking for a way out
You see, you have so many faces
Like the situations this life throws at you
Full of wounds and failures
Each awakening starts another play without rehearsal
More years in a kingdom of frustration
More than a need to survive
It’s become an obligation
No choice, the street is a coliseum with no salvation
Screwing others translates to survival instinct
Destruction of the neighbor, luck runs in the blood
If you gotta die for something
It’s better not to be from hunger
Nothing is as they say from my point of view
You’re a magician, society and the government are illusionists
Down with the moralists
Our hearts in the bank, we’re calculators
Cold as the blizzard
Today many go to the altars
Swearing to love and respect each other until a stranger tears them apart
More evils, more pirates, more places
Better value your ass, more cell phones
More difficulties, more inequalities without patience
More monetary stress at the end of the month, more violence
More competition, ambition drags us to chaos
Interest kills friendship, I wasn’t wrong
Here I just wonder what’s going on
Cross mine
But the mess
They leave you hanging
It’s been proven, there are cases that are sad
How many have killed themselves, paid for girls who weren’t worth it
No need to say, get your foot out
We’re socialists, what’s for everyone is for no one
You think you’re doing well
Instilling terror in the area and your mom’s heart
Pushing it to the limit
Forgive me, a soul you must be
Who seeks love, find me, it’s not over yet
It was a pleasure
To say what we feel without having to hide
It was a pleasure
To put feelings back on paper
It was a pleasure
To represent the people and belong to the people
It was a pleasure
To be on the street defending the humble cause
Now that respect is crap
And modern life is more modern than life
That even if you hide a wound
There’s always someone to remind you of it
And at the door of pain, there’s no exit sign
You decide to oppose doing nothing
Your grandkids pass grades without a single approval
That pack of fools who do nothing
Who drop pills in their food to take it away
Now that the looks are like a lighthouse without calm
And can’t see beyond their noses or their souls
I’ve had to touch you and put you in front
Because with your back to reality, you’re absent from the present
Now that you’re feared, you have a reputation
Lend me your spirit
Look at yourself from my window
The first thing you’ll say is the worst of Havana
And the second, I stayed in second, then I’m out of sync
Shame on you, now that the bad guys win, it hurts to heal
That no one loves and that no one sleeps, they screw in the beds
Find your partner and throw your hallway
Because AIDS has no face, and yours was pretty
Simple, between your ignorance and that layer, there’s a hallway
Where the thief enters and luck scams you
Bursts of lies that don’t add up
Take what they give you, but check it
I have a warning on the edge that says distance
Even if some come with you from childhood
Forgiving the same partner so many times doesn’t make you kind
It makes you seem French
Now that arrogance is the shield of those who often
Walk like a little one but carry their honor naked
Blow a little trumpet, the sky upside down
Because the forces of love pierce the toughest metal
Now that mistakes weigh much more than yesterday
And that everyone who has them abuses power
You should understand
That it’s not that no one loves anyone
It’s that no one lets themselves be loved
