Vendedor de gloria
The Locos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vengan todos con atención
Acérquense a nuestro mundo del bien,
Sanaciones y milagros
Solo con tu fe esto puedes tener
Solo pedimos la voluntad
Y el Señor ya te lo agradecerá
Al infierno los tacaños
A Dios le pido, nos guie por el bien
Con mano dura, el es la ley
A Dios le pido, y rezo por vender
Aaaaa, aaaaa, aaaaa.amén!
Vamos por la vida, vendiendo nuestras glorias
Ofrecemos sueños al margen de la ley
Buitres carroñeros, jueces, inmoralidad
Bisnes productivo, engaños de pastel
Miren éste ciego, de repente dice que todo lo ve
Un pobre tullido! Dios, mío hace el fin al revés!
Jovencillo, envidioso, gay
Con su novia virgen se quiere casar
Miradlos a diario, a precio saldo tu los conseguirás
A Dios le pido, nos guie por el bien
Con mano dura, el es la ley
A Dios le pido, y rezo por vender
Aaaaa, aaaaa, aaaaa.amén!
Vamos por la vida, vendiendo nuestras glorias
Ofrecemos sueños al margen de la ley
Buitres carroñeros, jueces, inmoralidad
Bisnes productivo, engaños de pastel
Joder que gente, que bien se les da
Si te descuidas te la van a colar
Justificando tu enfermedad,
No lo dudes se aprovecharan
Para su lucro personal
Darán lecciones sobre el bien y el mal
Vuelve a la tierra, despierta ya!
Vamos por la vida, vendiendo nuestras glorias
Ofrecemos sueños al margen de la ley
Buitres carroñeros, jueces, inmoralidad
Bisnes productivo, engaños de pastel (x2)
The Locos's song Vendedor De Gloria is a scathing critique of the world of faith healers, miracle peddlers, and other like-minded fraudsters. The song urges listeners to approach these people with caution, calling them out as greedy opportunists who take advantage of the faithful by offering them false hope in exchange for their money. The lyrics paint a picture of a world in which these "vendors of glory" hold sway over the lives of countless people, using their supposed powers to enrich themselves and manipulate their followers. The song is a powerful indictment of the hypocrisy and deception of these supposed spiritual leaders, and urges listeners to reject their false promises and instead seek out a more genuine connection with the divine.
The song opens with an invitation to enter the world of the "vendors of glory," promising healing, miracles, and other spiritual benefits to those who believe. However, the tone quickly turns sour, as the singer accuses these people of being nothing more than con artists seeking to exploit the vulnerable. The lyrics reference a number of specific examples of these scams, including fake healings, phony visions, and other forms of deceit. In addition, the song paints a picture of a world in which these vendors wield enormous power, using their supposed connection to the divine to control the lives of countless people. Despite the harsh tone of the lyrics, the song ultimately urges listeners to reject these false prophets and instead seek a more authentic connection to the divine.
