Lyrics and translation Mateo Braga - Mal menor




Mal menor
Lesser Evil
Qué poca paz hay en tu guerra interior.
There is so little peace in your inner war.
Qué tanto ensayo en lo que llamas error.
How much you rehearse in what you call a mistake.
Te ocultas
You hide
Tras el reflector
Behind the spotlight
Y al verte se nota enseguida
And when you see yourself it is immediately clear
Que tu ego es
That your ego is
Como un tumor.
Like a tumor.
Poca vergüenza hay en tu falso rubor.
There is so little shame in your false blush.
¿No te resulta un tanto agotador?
Doesn't it get a little tiring?
¡Qué oficio
What a profession,
El del impostor!
That of an imposter!
¿No ves que se te va la vida
Can't you see that your life is slipping away
Pretendiendo ser
Pretending to be
Un mal menor?
A lesser evil?
A tu humildad
Your humility
Le falta credibilidad.
Is a little hard to believe.
Sigue ensayando porque ya estás tan cerca
Keep rehearsing because you are so close
De ser la misma piedra que tiras
To being the same stone you throw
A tu pecador.
At your sinner.
Tejiendo telarañas con sordidez.
Weaving cobwebs sordidly.
Tratando de sortear un cráneo a la vez,
Trying to dodge a skull at a time,
Ajustas
You tighten
Aún más el arnés.
The harness even more.
Con gran acierto para el mal tino,
With great success for bad judgment,
Revela el diario
The diary reveals
Del día después.
The day after.
Mucho recato hay en tu desinterés.
Much reserve in your indifference.
Cubriendo en filtros toda tu desnudez,
Covering all your nudity in filters,
Ostentas
You show off
La sencillez.
Your simplicity.
Masticando la copa de vino
Chewing on the glass of wine
Para que no
So that it
Se vea a través.
Can't be seen through.
A tu humildad
Your humility
Le falta credibilidad.
Is a little hard to believe.
Sigue ensayando porque ya estás tan cerca
Keep rehearsing because you are so close
De ser la misma piedra que tiras
To being the same stone you throw
A tu pecador.
At your sinner.
¿Y no ves que se te va la vida
And can't you see that your life is slipping away
Pretendiendo ser
Pretending to be
Un mal menor?
A lesser evil?
