Paroles et traduction Mario Benedetti - Bélicti un Tentempié

Bélicti un Tentempié

Bebete un tentenpie
Bebete un tentenpie pero sentada
Arrimate a tu sol si eres satelite
Usa tus esperanzas como un sable
Desmundizate a ciegas o descalzate
Desmilagrate ahora poco a poco
Quitate la ropita sin testigos
Arrojale esa cascara al espejo
Preocupate
Preguntale
Preparate
Sobremuriente no
Sobreviviente desde el carajo al cielo sin escala
Y si no vienen a buscar tu busqueda
Y te sientes pueril o mendicante
Abandonada por tu abamdoneon
Fabulizate de una vez por toda
Metete en tu ropita nuevamente
Mundizate
Milagrate y entonces aprontate a salir y a salpicarte calle a bajo
Novada y renovada
Pero antes de asomar la naricita
Bebe otro tentenpie
Por si las moscas

Bélicti: A Light Snack

Have yourself a light snack
Have yourself a light snack, but seated
Get as close to your sun as you can if you're a satellite
Use your hopes like a sabre
Declutter yourself blindly or take off your shoes
Get rid of your anxieties slowly but surely
Take off your clothes without anyone watching
Throw that shell at the mirror
Worry about yourself
Ask yourself questions
Get yourself ready
Not half-dead
A survivor from hell to heaven without stopping
And if they don't come looking for you
And you feel childish or needy
Abandoned by your abandonment
Make up a story once and for all
Put your clothes back on again
Get real
Perform a miracle and then get ready to go out and splash yourself on the street
Brand new and refreshed
But before you show your face
Have another light snack
Just to be on the safe side
