La Balada del Fantoche


La balada del fantoche
esta llena de alegría
dedicada con amor
y cantada con sabiduría

Y qué será un fantoche?
palabra confusa de buen sonido
"persona grotesca y desdeñada"
"Sujeto neciamente presumido"

Si el diccionario no lo deja claro
algunos ejemplos les voy a cantar
porque del fantoche proviene el descaro
que antes no sabían como nombrar

El fantoche se levanta en la mañana
pensando soy dueño del mundo
se admira al espejo sonrisa picarona
se viste como príncipe oriundo

Come lo que dice el comercial
habla lo que dice el presonaje
hace suyo y natural
camaleón y camuflaje

Un poeta neonato
es el fantoche al instante
ingenioso y literato
cita con su nombre por delante

Usa la marca de moda
le gusta lo que ha de gustar
chicanea, humilla y acomoda
todo lo que tiene lo ha de mostrar

Es fantoche y no lo sabe
hace alardes de originalidad
el ego en el cuerpo no le cabe
por algo está corto en personalidad

Pero bueno, no se asusten
casi siempre inofensivo
celébrele para que no se angustien
entretenimiento colectivo

Dressing Up for Staying In




In life there are lots of moments
a dress code there is made for each
elegant, casual, or sporty
but what to wear when life's a bitch?

If your obssesed about fashion
then you might want to relate
it's a subject to take with some caution
a very innate unique trait

You wake up with no plans but thinking
today I would like to look good
for what, you don't know but you sink in
to look just as well as your mood

Then you're ready, you're cute and you smell nice
your next step to make up a plan
to go out will do, you don't think twice
your look and you want to have fun.

You call and you call
but nobody's home
the truth of the matter
you'll wind up alone

And you think of a plan or activity
to do by yourself, and go out
but everything points to the path of captivity
so you curse on the world and surrender in pout

Then you and your look stay at home friday night
and you think to yourself, what a waste of a sight
and you put on your pj's, bid your outfit good fight
but you'll wear it tomorrow again out of spite.
