Lyrics

Un día
los enanos se rebelarán
contra Gulliver.
Todos los hombres de corazón diminuto
armados con palos y con hoces
asaltarán al único gigante
con sus pequeños rencores, con su bilis,
con su rabia de enanos afeitados y miopes.
Pobre de tí, Gulliver, pobre de tí,
el día que todos los enanos
unan sus herramientas y su odio,
sus costumbres, sus vicios, sus carteras,
sus horarios. No podrán, no podrán,
no podrán perdonarte que seas alto.
Para ellos la generosidad no es más que un lujo que no pueden pagarse,
viven alimentados por la envidia que los habita en forma de costumbre.
Míralos revolverse recelosos tras sus gafas de concha.
Te acusarán, te acusarán, te acusarán:
de ser el tuerto en el país de los ciegos,
de ser quien habla en el país de los mudos,
de ser el loco en el país de los cuerdos,
de andar en el país de los cansados,
de ser sabio en el país de los necios,
de ser malo en el país de los buenos,
de divertirte en el país de los serios,
de estar libre en el país de los presos,
de estar vivo en el país de los enanos,
de ser la voz que clama en el desierto.

Lyrics translation

Day
The Dwarves will rebel
against Gulliver.
All men of tiny heart
armed with sticks and sticks
they will assault the one giant
with his little grudges, with his bile,
with his rage of shaved dwarfs and shortsighted.
Poor you, Gulliver, poor you,
the day all the Dwarves
unite your tools and your hate,
their customs, their vices, their wallets,
your schedules. They can't, they can't,
they can't forgive you for being tall.
For them generosity is nothing more than a luxury they cannot afford,
they live nourished by the envy that inhabits them as usual.
Look at them lurking behind their seashell glasses.
They'll charge you, they'll charge you, they'll charge you:
of being the one-eyed in the land of the blind,
of being the one who speaks in the land of the dumb,
of being the madman in sane country,
of walking in the land of the weary,
to be wise in the land of Fools,
of being bad in the land of the good,
to have fun in the land of the serious,
to be free in the country of prisoners,
of being alive in dwarf country,
to be the voice that cries out in the desert.
