Lyrics and translation Hugo Arán - Rara Avis




Rara Avis
Rara Avis
Donde los miedos dan la talla
Where fears take their toll
Y te hacen tope las ideas,
And ideas hold you back,
El juicio tira la toalla
Judgment throws in the towel
Y no lo crees aunque lo veas.
And you don't believe it, even when you see it.
Hoy tu opinión está de suerte,
Today your opinion is in luck,
Si te lo dice una pantalla
If a screen tells you
Con su verdad hasta la muerte,
With its truth until death,
La seguirás a donde vaya.
You will follow it wherever it goes.
Y yo te digo cuidado,
But I warn you, beware,
La rigidez no consiente,
Rigidity does not consent,
Y lejos de hacerte fuerte
And far from making you strong
Te hará perder la batalla.
It will make you lose the battle.
Quiero entender el infinito,
I want to understand infinity,
Me dieron dos dedos de frente,
I was given two fingers in front,
No hay chispas ni cortocircuitos
There are no sparks or short circuits
Cuando otro piensa diferente.
When someone else thinks differently.
Pero pensar se hace tan raro,
But thinking has become so rare,
En este raro presente,
In this strange present,
Y hay que pasar por el aro,
And you have to go along with it,
Hay que seguir la corriente.
You have to follow the current.
Y yo te digo vigila
And I tell you watch out
Porque no todo es tan claro,
Because not everything is so clear,
Y puede salirte caro
And it can be expensive
Hacerle caso a la gente.
To listen to people.
mismo te has castigado
You yourself have punished yourself
Atado de pies y manos
Tied hand and foot
Pa' que te llamen decente...
So that they may call you decent...
Ay! si tiro de la manta
Oh! if I pull the blanket
No me repitas tus "mantras"
Do not repeat your "mantras" to me
Papagayo de occidente (bis)
Parrot of the West (bis)
Los comunistas y sus ideas...
The communists and their ideas...
El populismo en Venezuela...
Populism in Venezuela...
Nos adoctrinan en las escuelas...
They indoctrinate us in schools...
Y los negritos en la frontera.
And the little black people on the border.
