Lyrics of El pastor mentiroso - Juana Molina

El pastor mentiroso (original)

Sigue llegando la gente sola
creyendo que alguien los va a salvar
Su fe intacta, su vida en bolas
que con un rezo les va a alcanzar
Ahí viene Judas, vestido de pastor
Pidiendo ayuda, diciendo que es para Dios
Sigue llegando la gente sola
con sus ofrendas y la ilusión
de que un día les llegará la hora
el gran milagro, la bendición.
Se arma una cola para subir a ver
si el pastor toca su mano o su bebé.
Una señora le pide: ¡Curemé!
El pastor llora representando el papel
Ahí viene Judas, vestido de pastor
El no te cura, pero te robará el oro, la esperanza
Es mejor decirle adios.

(translation)

Lonely people keep coming
believing that someone is going to save them
His faith intact, his life in balls
that with a prayer will reach them
Here comes Judas, dressed as a shepherd
Asking for help, saying it's for God
Lonely people keep coming
with their offerings and the illusion
that one day their time will come
the great miracle, the blessing.
He forms a queue to go up to see
if the shepherd touches his hand or his baby from him.
A lady asks him: Heal me!
The shepherd cries playing the part
Here comes Judas, dressed as a shepherd
He doesn't heal you, but he will steal your gold, your hope
It is better to say goodbye.
