El Peso
Charly García
The Weight
I was born in Jerusalem
Had a feeling
That couldn't be
Needed a place
To put my feet
When I look at a stranger
I ask what place is this
He looked at me and simply
Told me I had to leave
Take this weight, take it away from here,
Take this weight,
The weight they put on me.
Forty-seven bottles
Take up a lot of space
If they asked me for help
How can I refuse,
Meanwhile the women
Who managed to heal
Accepted their fate
And started to cry
Take this weight, take it away from here,
Take this weight,
The weight they put on me.
Take this weight, take it away from here,
Take this weight,
In the center of the earth
There is a contradiction
That has many addicts
It's part of the religion
I believe in the Virgin Mary
And in Mary Magdalene
And in the Holy Spirit
Which is just like smoke
Take this weight, take it away from here,
Take this weight,
The weight they put on me.
Take this weight, take it away from here,
Take this weight.
