It's a lie that I know what I want,
It's a lie that I sing just for singing,
It's a lie that I'll be a better torero
with real bulls.
It's a lie that I have no ambitions,
It's a lie tht my nose grows,
It's a lie that I write lovesongs
thinking of you.
I tell you... It's a lie that I was a bankrobber,
It's a lie that I won't be that again,
It's a lie that we loved each other so much
(it feels like yesterday).
I swear... It's a lie the kings are the fathers, 1
It's a lie that rock and roll is dead;
It's a lie that taste like vinegar
the kisses without love.
For lies, better the reality ones
they promise everything but give nothing,
I never lied to you
just for seeing you smile.
Less merciful than the heart lies
are the lies of the Goddess of reason,
I only told you half truth backwards
(which is not the same as a half lie).
It's a lie that I have no enemies,
It's a lie that they aren't right;
It's a lie that I accept that I'm not
the center of the universe.
It's a lie that I never lied to you,
It's a lie I don't lie to you ever;
It's a lie that a repeated rumor
deserves to be true.
It's a great lie that the boleros lie;
non e vero that it's ten on the clock;
It's a lie that I'm a gentleman
when nobody sees me.
I repeat that... It's a lie the way you look at me;
It's a lie that I doubt of doubting;
It's a lie that more than a hundred lies
don't tell the truth.
For lies, better the reality ones
they promise everything but give nothing,
I never lied to you
just for seeing you smile.
Less merciful than the heart lies
are the lies of the Goddess of reason,
I only told you
half truth backwards.
The necessity lies better than me;
it knows by far how to make you cry;
my crime was to dress
the poor prince as charming.
Look at the legs of the desolation,
they carry the stocking that passion broke;
I only sing the blues
of who lost the bus.
Dreams tell the truth darling;
tell me everything, lie to me, please;
I only pretended
to take the queen with a bishop.
Ask explanations to the pure truth
that doesn't stains, that has no mercy;
I've only hanged
medals I haven't win.
