El Anillo Del Capitán Beto

Luis Alberto Spinetta Luis Alberto Spinetta

Captain Beto's Ring

There goes Captain Beto through space
With his fiber ship made in Haedo
Yesterday a bus driver
Today a master among the masters of the air

He's been on his journey for fifteen years
His equipment is as precarious as his destiny
However, a strange ring
Wards off his dangers in the cosmos

There goes Captain Beto through space
Carlitos' photo on the command
And a River Plate pennant
And the sad little saint's picture

Where is the place
That everyone calls heaven?
If no one comes here
To share some bitter drinks with me
Like on my old doorstep

Why did I come here?
If I can't stand the loneliness anymore
I can't stand the loneliness anymore

His ring immunizes him from dangers
But it doesn't protect him from sadness
Navigating the galaxy of man
There goes Captain Beto, the wanderer

Where will there be a city
Where someone whistles a tango?
Where are, where are
The garbage trucks
My mom and the coffee?
If it continues like this
Not even a sad shadow will remain
Not even a sad shadow will remain

There goes Captain Beto through space
Watering the geraniums in his cabin
Without a compass and without a radio
He will never be able to return to Earth

It took many years to find him
Beto's ring had inscribed
A sign of the soul
