El Juego

He leaves his house, slams the door
The ball under the arm, jumps over the wall and the gate
Cross to the vacant lot on the corner
Where the world lights up and every child is a champion

And in the middle of the afternoon, a goal
It shines much brighter than the Sun
And life seems like a game
A game we can all win

The poisoned round spins
The neighborhood is covered by the footsteps of the boy
An old man with glasses and a tie
He talks about money with his father and drinks a whiskey in the garden

And in the middle of the court, he
With the world spinning at your feet
And life seems like a game
A game we can all win

Happiness shines brightly
Riding the blind stampede of the crowd
The golden light of medals
Will hang from the broken wall of ingratitude

And in the middle of the night, there is no
A silence to remember
That life seems like a game
A game we can all win

But the high angel of glory
He has a very bad memory and forgets who you are
When he sees that fortune changes
He leaves the stands and leaves you alone

And in the middle of life is
That child without his eternity
And life seems like a game
A game we can all win
