The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "A Usted" by Joan Manuel Serrat.
Lyrics
A usted que corre tras el éxito
ejecutivo de película
hombre agresivo y enérgico
con ambiciones políticas.
A usted que es un hombre practico
y reside en un piso céntrico,
regando flores de plástico
y pendiente del teléfono.
A usted que sabe de números
y consta en más de un nómina
que ya es todo un energúmeno
con un posición solida
No le gustaría
no ir mañana a trabajar
y no pedirle a nadie excusas,
para jugar al juego
que mejor juega
y que mas le gusta?
No le gustaría
ser capaz de renunciar
a todas sus pertenencias
y ganar la libertad
y el tiempo que pierde
en defenderlas
No le gustaría
dejar de mandar al prójimo
para exigir
que nadie lo mande lo mas mínimo
No le gustaría
vencer la tentación
sucumbiendo de lleno en sus brazos…
Antes que les den el pésame
a sus deudos, entre lagrimas,
por su irreparable perdida
y lo archiven bajo una lapida.
No le gustaría
no ir mañana a trabajar
y no pedirle a nadie excusas,
para jugar al juego
que mejor juega
y que mas le gusta?
No le gustaría
ser capaz de renunciar
a todas sus pertenencias
y ganar la libertad
y el tiempo que pierde
en defenderlas?
No le gustaría
dejar de mandar al prójimo
para exigir
que nadie lo mande lo mas mínimo?
No le gustaría
vencer la tentación
sucumbiendo de lleno en sus brazos???
Lyrics translation
To you running after success
film executive
aggressive and energetic man
with political ambitions.
To you who is a practical man
and resides on a central floor,
watering plastic flowers
and phone earring.
To you who know of numbers
and consists of more than one payroll
that he is already quite an energy man
with a solid position
He wouldn't like it.
don't go to work tomorrow
and don't ask anyone for excuses,
to play the game
who better to play
and what else do you like?
He wouldn't like it.
be able to give up
all your belongings
and gain freedom
and the time you lose
to defend them
He wouldn't like it.
stop sending others
to require
let no one send the least
He wouldn't like it.
overcome temptation
succumbing full in his arms…
Before they pay their respects
to their loved ones, in tears,
for his irreparable loss
and file it under a headstone.
He wouldn't like it.
don't go to work tomorrow
and don't ask anyone for excuses,
to play the game
who better to play
and what else do you like?
He wouldn't like it.
be able to give up
all your belongings
and gain freedom
and the time you lose
to defend them?
He wouldn't like it.
stop sending others
to require
that no one sends the least?
He wouldn't like it.
overcome temptation
succumbing full in his arms???
