Estás desorientao, y no sabés

y en éste desencuentro con la fe

querés cruzar el mar

y no podés.

La araña que salvaste te picó,

The spider you saved stung you,

que vas a hacer,

y el hombre que ayudaste te hizo mal

dale nomás,

y todo el carnaval, gritando pisoteó

la mano fraternal, que Dios te dio.

¡Qué desencuentro!

Si hasta Dios está lejano,

llorás por dentro,

todo es cuento, todo es vil,

en un corso a contramano

un grupí trampeó a Jesús

no te fíes ni de tu hermano

se te cuelgan de la cruz.

Quisiste con ternura

y el amor te devoró

de atrás hasta el riñón,

se rieron de tu abrazo

y ahí nomás

te hundieron con rencor

todo el arpón.

Amargo desencuentro

porque ves que es al revés

creíste en la honradez

y en la moral, ¡qué estupidez!,

and in morality, what foolishness!,

por eso en tu mortal

fracaso de vivir,

ni el tiro del final,

te va a salir.
