Lyrics by: Lobo
In their own words:
Been writing songs since 1989. Still hoping to write something good.
‘En evidencia’ is a song dedicated to all idiot people in this world.
And a tribute to orchestral hits.
Lyrics:
Cuando la estupidez
una y otra vez
nos obligue a dudar
de lo racional
y opinión y emoción
sean un arma con que disparar.
Cuando la ignorancia
sea la vanguardia
y la incapacidad
lo habitual.
Cuando la incompetencia
desplace la ciencia hacia atrás.
Puedes decírmelo.
Jurármelo.
Jugar con mi cerebro
al refutármelo.
Autootorgarte la razón.
Puedes negármelo.
Decir que no.
Ponerte en evidencia
argumentándolo.
No voy a prestarte atención.
Cuando el agua del mar
suba un metro más
y el hielo se funda
y la tierra se hunda
y nos quedemos mirando
la vida pasar.
Cuando el aire apeste
y el viento queme
y una ola de plástico
surque el Atlántico
nos va a devorar
nos va a sepultar.
Puedes decírmelo.
Jurármelo.
Jugar con mi cerebro
al refutármelo.
Autootorgarte la razón.
Puedes negármelo.
Decir que no.
Ponerte en evidencia
argumentándolo.
No voy a prestarte atención.
Cuando el mundo entero explote
en mil pedazos
y el silencio reine con
la oscuridad.
Cuando estemos abocados
al fracaso
seguirás siendo un idiota
hasta el final.
Puedes decírmelo.
Jurármelo.
Jugar con mi cerebro
al refutármelo.
Autootorgarte la razón.
Puedes negármelo.
Decir que no.
Ponerte en evidencia
argumentándolo.
No voy a prestarte atención.
Translation:
When stupidity
again and again
forces us to doubt rationality
and opinion and emotion
are a weapon with which to shoot.
When ignorance
is the avantgarde
and ineptitude is normal.
When incompetence
pushes science backwards.
You can tell it to me.
Swear it to me.
Play with my brain
by refuting it.
Give yourself the reason.
You can deny it to me.
Say no.
Put yourself to shame
by reasoning it.
I won’t pay attention to you.
When the sea water
goes up another meter
and the ice melts
and the earth sinks
and we stare at life passing us by.
When the air stinks
and the wind burns
and a wave of plastic
crosses the Atlantic Ocean.
It will devour us.
It will bury us.
You can tell it to me.
Swear it to me.
Play with my brain
by refuting it.
Give yourself the reason.
You can deny it to me.
Say no.
Put yourself to shame
by reasoning it.
I won’t pay attention to you.
When the whole world explodes
into a thousand pieces
and silence reigns
with darkness.
When we are doomed to failure
you’ll still be an idiot
until the end.
You can tell it to me.
Swear it to me.
Play with my brain
by refuting it.
Give yourself the reason.
You can deny it to me.
Say no.
Put yourself to shame
by reasoning it.
I won’t pay attention to you.
