Captatio Benevolentiae

We try to fit into beautiful scenes
With Sunday ports filled with seagulls
In large dining tables where grandparents sing
In nights by the fire embraced in a blanket
It's about being the friendly ones in the neighborhood
Those who dance and dance until the musicians stop
Bursting in arrogantly showing off the best outfits
In clubs with women with stable jobs

And sometimes we get away with it
And sometimes we get away with it
And sometimes a sudden foolishness indicates that we get away with it
And sometimes a sudden fluke proves that we get away with it

We seek to look good in the magnificent display
Of those who go through the world with a monolithic attitude
And face life looking it in the face
And one day happily buy flowers for their mother
We try to trick to be worthy people
The model father that daughters want
The one with the deep voice, the one with the strong hand
Who buys a vermouth and fixes a door
And then close our eyes and feel the world in peace
There are two birds chirping on a tree
Well prepared a great epitaph
That brings smiles to all who pass by

And sometimes we get away with it
And sometimes we get away with it
And sometimes a sudden foolishness indicates that we get away with it
And sometimes a sudden fluke proves that we get away with it

And sometimes we get away with it
And sometimes we get away with it
And sometimes a sudden foolishness indicates that we get away with it
And sometimes we are surprised by a great nonsense
It turns the fireworks around and with logic making it evident that for a moment
We get away with it
