La Gran Broma Final
Nacho Vegas
The Great Final Joke
The drums stop sounding
And a gong announces the retreat
The capitulation is discussed,
While laughter approaches.
I received an award for fear of suffering
Five years of indifference,
It's the great week of cruelty,
And in our honor they celebrate a party.
I limited myself to contemplate
The same crack in the wall
Someone said 'it will have to be demolished'
I don't know how I didn't see it coming,
It was the day of the great final joke.
Panic has spread in Madrid,
Photos appear in the gossip press,
The director speaks on the red carpet,
He knows how to do things right.
Time may prove you right
But there's no time left, today is the day
When two planets will collide
While you grant interviews.
And now I start to wonder
Which of these jokes is the best:
The one from the day I spoke to you about love
Knowing there was a storm coming
Or the day of the great final joke.
Like a sea I presented myself to you
Part water and part salt,
What cannot be separated
Is what will separate us
On the day of the great final joke.
Some said our love
Was great and strong,
And it wasn't like the Twin Towers,
There in New York.
And when you know something could go wrong,
And it will explode right under your nose,
When it's impossible to be happy
And you get scared like an animal
It's the day of the great final joke.
When they shout angrily at you
That your whole love was a scam
And you protest and there's no one left to listen,
When there are no more rituals,
A dry blow sounds, almost a scream
And then don't bother anymore,
There's nothing left to fix,
It's the day of the great final joke.
Nothing will be the same..
After the day of the great final joke.
