Taciturno

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aquel punjabi que resiste el desalojo, la alunada
Soy la semana pasada, de la fogata migratoria
Soy el ultraje de melilla, cuando suena esta oratoria
El paso ajeno en las misiones de un jury, pero moderno
Que despoja, pinta y borra, sube renta sin acuerdo
Es la regina del pelado, del burrón, del agachado
¡La canción del abonero agazapado!
Babel en apec
Al acabose de su mano, que cualquier terrateniente reconoce
Quieren cercar la utilidad, y acordonar la periferia
Montarles villas con basura, suavizándoles la histeria
Quieren matar a la bacteria, en cinturones de miseria
Nos dieron con la escoba, pa' inventar un disimulo
La esencia en su maqueta, es un murmullo taciturno
No quieren que sus perros, incomoden nuestra rabia
No quieren saber nada de mi baile de mi labia
Prefieren todo pulcro en su burbuja necesaria
Echarnos pa' saturno despojo taciturno
Nos dieron con la escoba, pa' inventar un disimulo
La esencia en su maqueta, es un murmullo taciturno
Nos dieron con la escoba, pa' inventar un disimulo
La esencia en su maqueta, es un murmullo taciturno
Llega la puebla del mixteco
A regodearse con quisqueya, por un puesto en la merienda
En gris pa' la atención de la trastienda
Campanas de belén firman el cheque de vivienda
Tiene perlas, que incomodan al tirano
Le nublan el paisaje al usurero de este llano
Las jornaleras de amnistía, van cepillando con la vaina
Justificando el pueblo nuevo, encareciendo la cabaña
¡El viaje inútil peregrino! Bajo el nombre del progreso y desarrollo
La zona sana y productiva sin la bestia y su meollo
¡Va del gitano que el turista desconoce
Al acabose de su mano, que cualquier terrateniente reconoce
Quieren cercar la utilidad, y acordonar la periferia
Quieren matar a la bacteria en cinturones de miseria
Nos dieron con la escoba, pa' inventar un disimulo
La esencia en su maqueta, es un murmullo taciturno
No quieren que sus perros, incomoden nuestra rabia
No quieren saber nada de mi baile de mi labia
Prefieren todo pulcro en su burbuja necesaria
Echarnos pa' saturno despojo taciturno
