El tonto Simón

The sun is setting
and the men are lurking
sitting at the bar's door
the couples leave by the road
and here comes Simon with his strange walk.
Hello Simon
where are you going so fast
stop for a moment, what do you want to drink?

They say you always tell the same story
that's what everyone expects, they feel better
that your father died for burning the church
that your misfortune is the Lord's punishment.
You're a fool Simon
and you have no choice
from your shaven head to zero
remove that worker's cap
and face the issue, Simon.
Go back on your steps towards the street
if you knock on that door, a woman comes out
who offers you food from time to time
and gives conversation if you behave well.
Hello Simon
where are you going so fast
stop for a moment, what do you want to eat?

You have seen the deceit in their eyes
that have nothing more to say
the blows no longer hurt, oh Simon
if you put your body into action.

It's better for you to leave the town
recite your prayer and don't think badly
you will have there the breath of the stars
and maybe the warmth of some animal.

You're a fool Simon
and you have no choice
from your shaven head to zero
remove that worker's cap
and face the issue, Simon.

and you have no choice

remove that worker's cap
and face the issue, Simon
and face the issue, Simon.
