Mandato
Jorge Drexler
Mandate
From the depths of the chromosomes
Of the club-goers
A clear mandate emerges
Like water from a fountain, crystal clear
Powerful yet silent
Filling glasses with vague promises
And even if it's not heard, there's not a single gesture
Not a single sigh, not a single second
In front of the bathroom mirror, it rhymes
Let the mandate not rule, Friday
From its command post
In the night, it will fit the pieces
All-powerful thirst for time
Alive in every pollen cell
From the depths of the chromosomes
Of the club-goers
A clear mandate emerges
Like water from a fountain, crystal clear
Powerful yet silent
Filling glasses with vague promises
And even if it's not heard, there's not a single gesture
Not a single sigh, not a single second
In front of the bathroom mirror, it rhymes
Let the mandate not rule, Friday
From its command post
In the night, it will fit the pieces
All-powerful thirst for time
Alive in every pollen cell
All-powerful thirst for time
Alive in every pollen cell
All-powerful thirst for time
(You have the eyes of your)
Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother
Alive in every pollen cell
(That drove your)
Great-great-great-great-great-grandfather crazy
All-powerful thirst for time
Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother
Alive in every pollen cell
Great-great-great-great-great-grandfather
All-powerful thirst for time
Alive in every pollen cell
All-powerful thirst for time
Alive in every pollen cell
All-powerful thirst for time
Alive in every pollen cell
