Lyrics of Si Tu Alma Has De Vender - Tierra Santa

Si Tu Alma Has De Vender (original)

No hay mejor mentira ni disfraz
Que pueda al tiempo burlar
Cuando se oculta en la sonrisa
Nunca fue una trampa tan audaz
Que en su ironía genial
Esconde la verdad de su fin
Porque es cómplice el engaño de la risa
Y es mezquino su placer
Porque el demonio es mejor verle la cara
Si tu alma has de vender
No confundas risa y alegría
Ignorancia y valentía
Seriedad con mal humor
Que la amistad no es caridad
Y éste no da nada por dar
Es falso necio y ladrón
Porque la astucia del disfraz es el descaro
Miserable es su placer
Porque al demonio es mejor verle a la cara
Si tu alma has de vender
Miente quien proclama la verdad
Y con alarde galán hace de este acto su bandera
No engaña a nadie al final
Pues la mentira alimentar
Descubre al actor y al disfraz
Porque se coge antes a un mentiroso
Que a un cojo sin correr
Porque el demonio es mejor verle la cara
Si tu alma has de vender

(translation)

There is no better lie or disguise
That I can at the time mock
When it hides in the smile
Never was such a bold trap
That in his great irony
Hide the truth of your end
Because the deception of laughter is an accomplice
And his pleasure is petty
Because the devil is better to see his face
If your soul you have to sell
Do not confuse laughter and joy
ignorance and bravery
seriousness with a bad mood
That friendship is not charity
And this one gives nothing to give
He is false fool and thief
Because the cunning of the disguise is the impudence
Miserable is his pleasure
Because it is better to see the devil in the face
If your soul you have to sell
Lies who proclaims the truth
And with gallant display he makes this act his flag
Doesn't fool anyone in the end
Well, the lie feed
Discover the actor and the costume
Because you catch a liar first
Than a lame man without running
Because the devil is better to see his face
If your soul you have to sell
