Paroles et traduction Ricardo Arjona - Mesías

Mesías

Ha nacido el Mesías en Nueva York
Anda en auto blindado por precaución
El Papa le teme a algún despido en masa

Viene rasurado y de Christian Dior
Para estar a la altura de la situación
Los judíos dicen que ese es el que esperaban

Tiene un penthouse en Manhattan
Y un piso en París
Un doctorado en Harvard
Y un affair con una actriz

Toma un trago en el Village con Bill Gates
Oye un poco de jazz por distracción
Revisa la bolsa y le invierte a la Iglesia
Hace un poco de jogging en Central Park
Aprende kung fu en Chinatown
Prepara un golpe y nadie sabe la fecha

Tiene una escolta armada
Son tipos de Israel
Y una Magnum 45 para él

Dicen que es el que vino y juró que iba a regresar
Que se hizo cirugía en las manos para disimular
Que es el enviado del cielo y que está en Manhattan
Y esta vez su estrategia no es igual

Tiene un socio en Japón, otro en Afganistán
Habla a diario con Dios por el Internet
Promueve un cambio y se ha ganado enemigos

Ya compró CNN y está usando su espacio
Con discursos que invitan a quitarnos el velo
El caos impera y el planeta se espanta

La Iglesia lo acusa de hereje
Y el Pentágono de terrorista
Y en el filo de la navaja, la fe

Dicen que es el que vino y juró que iba a regresar
Que se hizo cirugía en las manos para disimular
Que es el enviado del cielo y que está en Manhattan
Y esta vez su estrategia no es igual

Se ha suicidado un magnate en la Gran Manzana
Se lee en la portada del New York Times
Y una nube de dudas le hacen sombra al sol

Messiah

The Messiah was born in New York
He drives an armored car for protection
The Pope fears a mass firing

He's clean-shaven and wearing Christian Dior
To rise to the occasion
The Jews say that this is the one they've been waiting for

He has a penthouse in Manhattan
And an apartment in Paris
A doctorate from Harvard
And an affair with an actress

He has a drink in the Village with Bill Gates
He listens to some jazz for a distraction
He checks the stock market and invests in the Church
He goes jogging in Central Park
He learns kung fu in Chinatown
He's planning a coup and no one knows the date

He has an armed escort
They're guys from Israel
And a Magnum 45 for himself

They say he's the one who came and swore he'd return
That he had surgery on his hands to hide his scars
That he's the one sent from heaven and he's in Manhattan
And this time his strategy is different

He has a partner in Japan, another in Afghanistan
He talks to God daily through the Internet
He's promoting a change and he's made some enemies

He's already bought CNN and is using its airtime
With speeches that invite us to lift the veil
Chaos reigns and the planet is terrified

The Church accuses him of heresy
And the Pentagon of terrorism
And on the edge of the razor blade, faith

They say he's the one who came and swore he'd return
That he had surgery on his hands to hide his scars
That he's the one sent from heaven and he's in Manhattan
And this time his strategy is different

A tycoon has committed suicide in the Big Apple
It reads on the front page of the New York Times
And a cloud of doubt casts a shadow on the sun
