Ricardo Arjona - Mesías
Album: Galería Caribe

Lyrics & Music: Edgar Ricardo Arjona Morales

MesíasMessiah
Ha nacido el Mesías en Nueva York
Anda en auto blindado por precaución
El Papa le teme a algún despido en masa

Viene rasurado y de Christian Dior
Para estar a la altura de la situación
Los judíos dicen que ése es el que esperaban

Tiene un penthouse en Manhattan
Y un piso en París
Un doctorado en Harvard
Y un affair con una actríz

Toma un trago en el Village con Bill Gates
Oye un poco de jazz por distracción
Revisa la bolsa y le invierte a la iglesia

Hace un poco de jogging en Central Park
Aprende kung-fu en Chinatown
Prepara un golpe y nadie sabe la fecha

Tiene una escolta armada
Con tipos de Israel
Y una Magnum cuarenta y cinco para él

Coro:
Dicen que es el que vino y juró que iba a regresar
Que se hizo cirugía en las manos para disimular
Que es el enviado del cielo y que está en Manhattan
Y esta vez su estrategia no es igual


Tiene un socio en Japón, otro en Afganistán
Habla a diario con Dios por el internet
Promueve un cambio y se ha ganado enemigos

Ya compró CNN y está usando su espacio
Con discursos que invitan a quitarnos el velo
Y el caos impera y el planeta se espanta

La iglesia lo acusa de hereje
Y el Pentágono de terrorista
Y en el filo de la navaja… la fe

Coro

Se ha suicidado un magnate en la Gran Manzana
Se lee en la portada del New York Times
Y una nube de dudas le hacen sombra al sol
The Messiah has been born in New York
He travels in an armoured car as a precaution
The Pope fears a mass layoff

He comes shaved and in Christian Dior
In order to be on top of the situation
The Jews say that that is the one they were waiting for

He has a penthouse in Manhattan
And a flat in Paris
A doctorate from Harvard
And an affair with an actress

He has a drink in the Village with Bill Gates
Hears a bit of jazz for distraction
Checks the stock market and invests in the Church

He does a bit of jogging in Central Park
Learns kung fu in Chinatown
Prepares a coup and no one knows the date

He has an armed escort
With guys from Israel
And a Magnum forty-five for himself

Chorus:
They say that he is the one who came and swore that he was going to return
That he had surgery on his hands in order to hide
That he is the messenger from Heaven and that he is in Manhattan
And this time his plan is not the same


He has a partner in Japan, another in Afghanistan
He speaks daily with God via the internet
He promotes change and has earned enemies

He already bought CNN and is using their space
With speeches that invite us to remove the veil
And chaos reigns and the planet is frightened

The Church accuses him of heresy
And the Pentagon of being a terrorist
And sitting on the fence… faith

Chorus

A magnate has committed suicide in the Big Apple
It can be read on the cover of the New York Times
And a cloud of doubts overshadowing the sun
