Paroles et traduction Silvio Rodríguez - Viene la Cosa

Viene la Cosa

Viene la cosa
Viene la cosa fea
Viene la cosa
Como mano de brea
Su inquietante nariz
Parece un caracol
Y su talante gris
Le pone rabo al sol
Viene, viene la cosa
Y la canción de amor
Solloza
Viene la cosa
Aunque no te lo creas
Viene la cosa
Como viento y marea
Viene más que la luz
Viene para acabar
Por eso el avestruz
No tiene ya lugar
Porque la cosa viene
Y la mentira no es
Quien la detiene
Viene la cosa, por más que sea injusta y ofenda
Viene la cosa a exhibir desparpajo total
Viene la cosa invocando lo que le convenga
Porque ha pasado de moda la noble moral
Viene la cosa
Viene por todos lados
Viene la cosa
Rescribiendo el pasado
Pero, a falta de Dios
Doy pecho al huracán
Y saco bien la voz
Y al pan le digo pan
Porque viene una cosa
Que solo la sinceridad destroza
Porque viene una cosa
Que solo la sinceridad destroza
Porque viene una cosa
Que solo la sinceridad destroza

The Thing is Coming

The thing is coming
The ugly thing is coming
The thing is coming
Like a tar hand
Its unsettling nose
Looks like a snail
And its gray demeanor
Puts a tail on the sun
It's coming, the thing is coming
And the love song
Sobs
The thing is coming
Even if you don't believe it
The thing is coming
Like wind and tide
It comes more than the light
It comes to end
That's why the ostrich
No longer has a place
Because the thing is coming
And the lie is not
Who stops it
The thing is coming, however unjust and offensive
The thing comes to flaunt its total impudence
The thing comes invoking whatever suits it
Because noble morality is out of fashion
The thing is coming
It's coming from all sides
The thing is coming
Rewriting the past
But, in the absence of God
I suckle at the hurricane
And I raise my voice
And I call bread bread
Because something is coming
That only sincerity destroys
Because something is coming
That only sincerity destroys
Because something is coming
That only sincerity destroys
