Translation of the song lyrics Sale a escena - Jarabe De Palo

Sale a escena (original)

Sale a escena un tipo que da pena.
elegante, aparente, como seguro de si mismo
un mentiroso cn estilo, recitando prometiendo
abriendo los brazos como un espantapajaros
es politicamente correcto, un tramposo un payaso.
al rato el cuento se acaba y lo que ha dicho no ha servido para nada
Sale a escena un charlatan, que persigue la noticia
le gusta ser el artista, sentirse protagonista
el numero uno, el rey de la pista
la informacion no es importante pero si los titulares,
guerra violencia y muerte, vende
amor esperanza, la verdad no vende
no se vayan todavia que aun haymas
volvemos despues de la publicidad
el teatro esta al completo va a empezar otra funcion
el publico espera que le den la medicina
hoy la gente esta impaciente se levantara el telon
realidad y ficcion estan mas cerca cada dia…
sale a escena un televisor
contra el arte, la cultura,
la inteligencia la literatura
teleadiccion, manipulacion
two match information
mecanismo de control contra la comunicacion
venta de ideologias contra las ideas propias
telebasura contra la cultura
fiesta sensacionalista con actores de segunda fila
la caja tonta, dicen
sale a escena una persona
joven, mujer
son las siete treinta de la mañana
del once de marzo de 2004
estacion de atocha, madrid

Sale a escena (translation)

A pitiful guy comes on the scene.
elegant, apparent, self-confident
a liar in style, reciting promising
opening his arms like a scarecrow
he is politically correct, a cheat, a clown.
after a while the story ends and what he has said has been useless
A charlatan comes on the scene, chasing the news
he likes to be the artist, to feel like the protagonist
the number one, the king of the track
the information is not important but the headlines are,
war violence and death, sell
love hope, the truth does not sell
don't go yet there's still more
we return after the publicity
the theater is complete another show is going to start
the public expects to be given the medicine
today people are impatient the curtain will rise
reality and fiction are closer every day...
a television comes on the scene
against art, culture,
intelligence literature
teleaddiction, manipulation
two match information
control mechanism against communication
sale of ideologies against one's own ideas
trash TV against culture
tabloid party with second rate actors
the fool box, they say
a person comes on stage
young woman
it's seven thirty in the morning
of March 11, 2004
atocha station, madrid
