Actuar para vivir

And they will applaud you, they will crush you
here the frustration, the skin, the desires,
here you will be a clown and a tamer
and you will be the judge and the loser,
here the roles will be reversed
to you.

You who are there,
we above,
the street as a stage,
let's say rather
that it is necessary,
acting to live.

And in a fatal first act we are born
always changing the costume and the game
always after the emotion,
it is the essential salary,
always after the night
and the coffee tables
we checkmate intelligence like a pawn to the king,
we checkmate intelligence, we turn it into a song.

All that hidden magic,
that of the high tones
is nothing more than a longing for two
the people, the actor
the desire to see oneself there.

The last applause was heard,
all the lights went out,
only ghosts of yesterday remained
nameless, faceless
maybe mine will be there tomorrow.

And they will applaud you, they will crush you
here the frustration, the skin, the desires,
here you will be a clown and a tamer
and you will be the judge and the loser,
here the roles will be reversed
to you.

You who are there,
we above,
the street as a stage,
let's say rather
that it is necessary,
acting to live.
