Encuentro Con El Diablo
Serú Girán
Meeting With The Devil
I never thought I'd meet the devil
so alive and well like you and me;
he had the laughter that years give him,
and the confidence that fear gives him.
I never thought I'd meet the wise one
who analyzes me like an equation,
waiting for an answer from my lips
while I'm singing this song.
I'm just a piece of land,
don't confuse me, sir, please;
I'm just one more on earth,
I'm just one more under the sun.
I never thought I'd meet the boss
in his office in such a good mood,
asking me to say what I think,
what do I think of our situation.
What tension there is in the air,
how many will think like me.
If the potatoes are hot,
why do I have to be
the one to take the first bite?
