mesmo quando ele consegue o que ele quis
quando tem já não quer
acha alguma coisa nova na tv
e que não pode ter
deixa de gostar
larga a mão do que ele já tem
passa então a amar
tudo aquilo que não ganhou
dei motivo pra outra vez acreditar
na cascata da vez
que você comprou a cinza era umas dez
um presente pra mim
mas se eu perguntar
de onde veio esse agrado
você vai gritar
diz que é homem feito, sei não
ah, faça-me o favor
diga ao menos o que foi
e se eu faltei em te explicar
diz que a gente sempre foi
um par
sai domingo, diz que é dia de jogar
mas que jogo eu não sei
fica até segunda o dia clarear
e profeta não se vê
entra sem falar
sai correndo e volta outra vez
sem cumprimentar
nem parece aquele
eu rezo: "ai, Deus do céu"
alguém no chão
diga o que foi
que eu deixei faltar
o que eu não consigo entender
como é que um filho meu
é tão diferente assim
de mim
me faz entender
YO
(Afo Verde, Pablo Durand, Fernando López Rossi)
YO QUE VIVO BAJO LA LUNA
YO QUE HAGO SIEMPRE TODO MAL
YO DONDE IRE CUANDO ME MUERA
SI ME VAN A ECHAR DEL CIELO
ANTES DE DECIR: QUE TAL?
YO QUE NO PERSIGO FORTUNAS
YO QUE AUN NO APRENDO A CAMINAR
YO DONDE IRE SIN TU MIRADA
SI NO ME ENCUENTRO LA CARA
PORQUE ME DIJISTE CHAU
COMO HARE PARA OLVIDAR ?
UNA MUJER QUE ME SALVE
QUE ME QUIERA RESCATAR
AUN ME QUEDAN UNOS BESOS
Y EN MI AGONIA TE CUENTO
HOY LOS PIENSO REGALAR
UNA MUJER QUE ME SALVE
QUE ME QUIERA RESCATAR
QUE GRITE FUERTE TE QUIERO
HOY ME QUEDAN UNOS BESOS
Y HOY LOS PIENSO REGALAR
HOY LOS VOY A REGALAR...
YO QUE VIVO CONTANDO ESTRELLAS
YO QUE APRENDI A RESUCITAR
YO NO ME CASO CON CUALQUIERA
QUE LEVANTE BIEN LA MANO
QUIEN ME QUIERA ACOMPAÑAR
YO QUE NUNCA SALI PRIMERO
YO NO SOPORTO NI EMPATAR
YO VOY MASTICANDO TU OLVIDO
TENGO EL CORAZON HERIDO
Y SI ALGUIEN LO SABE CURAR…
VENI CORRIENDO HASTA ACA
UNA MUJER QUE ME SALVE
QUE ME QUIERA RESCATAR
AUN ME QUEDAN UNOS BESOS
Y EN MI AGONIA TE CUENTO
HOY LOS PIENSO REGALAR
UNA MUJER QUE ME SALVE
QUE ME QUIERA RESCATAR
QUE GRITE FUERTE TE QUIERO
AUN ME QUEDAN UNOS BESOS
Y HOY LOS PIENSO REGALAR
QUE NO ME DEJE EN EL SUELO
QUE NO ME PIENSO ARRASTRAR…
And when you're gone we'll hang a black flag
With a lighthouse shining
Nobody should have to settle for this
This is not how it's supposed to be
In one ear and out of the other
This is not how it's supposed to be
Now easy does it, because the kids love it
This is where thoughts go to die
Make no mistake there is nothing the same between you and I
I would never call it jealousy
Because what you have is not what we came here to need
I would call it sympathy
Because what you do is a tragedy
You've been given a stage and you choose to use it to pass through a phase
Brainless and mindless like you've been drinking and someone slipped you a bad drug
Stuck on life support and I'm right by your side and I'll pull the plug
I'm right by your side, I'll pull the plug on your shit
And when you're gone we'll hang a black flag
With a lighthouse shining
This is where it ends
I'm sick of all the secrets you've been keeping
And all the kids you've been deceiving
Make no mistake, there is nothing the same between you and I
You, you're just an image for a show
You're just a gimmick with no goals and your intentions are terrible
There's no soul
So lean on your crutch because it must be too hard for you to stand
Spineless and arrogant. Must be hard for you to stand
So ride it out because I know it will be over soon
I won't swallow my pride, and pat the backs of who I despise
I swear this will be over soon
And when you're gone we'll hang a black flag
