Alberto Cortez — Todos song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Todos" by Alberto Cortez.
Lyrics
Hay un modo de subirnos a la acera
Aburridos ya de estar siempre en la calle,
Pero todos escondemos la escalera
Seducidos por la idea de llegar antes que nadie.
En lugar de hacer andamios rebuscamos
La manera de subir por la tangente;
Lo importante es arribar, aunque tengamos
Que pisar, si es necesario, la cabeza de la gente.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
De buscar un acomodo para llegar.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
Que llevamos en los codos la honestidad
Revestida con tocado de inocencia
Por si acaso no remuerde la conciencia.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
De falsearnos de algn modo la realidad.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
De aplicarle mil apodos a la verdad.
Tamizada por inslitos matices,
Bien nos da la sensacin de ser felices.
Sospechamos un futuro luminoso
Y enseguida pretendemos disfrutarlo:
Empezamos a vender la pie del oso
Sin saber a ciencia cierta, cmo hacer para cazarlo.
Confesamos penitentes los pecados
Ante Dios, arrepentidos de rodillas
Y tan pronto nos sabemos perdonados
Continuamos como siempre repartiendo zancadillas.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
Dando de comer al lobo por inters.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
Cometiendo sobre todo la insensatez
De no ver que mientras come en nuestra mesa
Insaciable nos vigila la cabeza.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
De falsearnos entre todos la realidad.
Todos, somos responsables… todos
De ponerle mil apodos a la verdad.
Tamizada con inslitos matices
Para dar la sensacin de ser felices.
Lyrics translation
There's a way to get on the sidewalk.
Bored of being on the street all the time,
But we all hide the ladder
Seduced by the idea of arriving before anyone else.
Instead of scaffolding, we search
The way up the tangent;
The important thing is to arrive, even if we have
To step on, if necessary, people's heads.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
To find a place to get there.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
That we carry in our elbows honesty
Covered with headdress of innocence
Just in case it doesn't stir the conscience.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
To somehow distort reality.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
Applying a thousand nicknames to the truth.
Sifted by inslitos nuances,
Well, it gives us the feeling of being happy.
We suspect a bright future
And right away we intend to enjoy it:
We started selling the bear's foot.
Without knowing for sure, what to do to hunt him.
We confess penitent sins
Before God, repentant on their knees
And as soon as we know we're forgiven
We continue as always handing out strides.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
Feeding the Wolf for inters.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
Committing above all folly
Not to see that while eating at our table
Insatiable is watching our heads.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
To falsify reality for all of us.
Everyone, we're responsible ... everyone
To put a thousand nicknames on the truth.
Sifted with inslitos nuances
To give the feeling of being happy.
