A usted [English translation]

To you who runs behind success

smashing executive

aggressive and energetic man

with political ambitions.

To you who is a practical man

and lives in a central flat,

watering plastic flowers

and looking after the phone.

To you who knows of numbers

and appears in more than one payroll

who is a already a full possessed

with a solid position.

Wouldn't you like

to not go to work tomorrow

and not asking excuses to anyone,

to play the game

you play the best

and like the most?

Wouldn't you like

to be able to resign

all your belongings

and earning the freedom

and the time you waste

in defending them?

Wouldn't you like

to stop ordering the neighbor

to demand

that nobody gives you anything at all?

Wouldn't you like maybe

to beat the temptation

succumbing fully in its arms...

Before they give the condolences

to your relatives, in tears,

for your irreparable loss

and they file you under a tombstone.

Wouldn't you like

to not go to work tomorrow

and not asking excuses to anyone,

to play the game

you play the best

and like the most?

Wouldn't you like

to be able to resign

all your belongings

and earning the freedom

and the time you waste

in defending them?

Wouldn't you like

to stop ordering the neighbor

to demand

that nobody gives you anything at all?

Wouldn't you like maybe

to beat the temptation

succumbing fully in its arms...
