Ricardo Arjona - Su Menester
Album: Apague la Luz y Escuche

Lyrics & Music: Edgar Ricardo Arjona Morales

Su MenesterYour Need
Amo el sintoma de vida que es buscar
Porque muerte es igual que conformarse.
Lo inestable me ha llevado a improvisar
Y lo estable siempre huele a establecerse

Amo el amor del marinero de ese que besa y se va.
Amo esos besos guerrilleros aunque traigan soledad.
Amo el riesgo que me agita cuando juego al escondite.
Amo lo que quieras darme aunque sea la mitad

Coro:
Y meto al saco lo que digo
O al cajón de los olvidos
Si es así su menester

Quizás hablo por herido
Y eso me hace un enemigo
Si así usted lo quiere ver

La infidelidad querido amigo
Nunca va ser otra cosa
Que serle fiel a los sentidos


Leo el texto que gravita en reuniones
Persignados con talentos de faquir
Amparados en las letras de canciones
Que aniquilan tantas ganas de huir

Veo miradas que se buscan pa' robarse una aventura.
Veo parejas que no ajustan y se tragan la tortura.
¿Quién está pa' penitente de un fiscal en el espejo?
Quien esconde lo que siente se olvida que va pa' viejo

Coro
I love the symptom of life that seeking is
Because death is the same as conforming.
The unstable has led me to improvise
And the stable always smells of settling down

I love the sailor's love of the one who kisses and leaves.
I love those guerrilla kisses although they bring loneliness.
I love the risk that excites me when I play hide and seek.
I love what you want to give me although it might be half(?)

Chorus:
And I put what I say in a bag
Or the drawer of forgotten things
If such is your need

Maybe I speak out of hurt
And that makes me an enemy
If that is how you want to see it

Infidelity, dear friend
It is never going to be anything other
Than being faithful to the senses


I read the text that goes round in meetings
Crossed(?) with a fakir's talents
Sheltered in the lyrics of songs
That annihilate so many desires to run away

I see looks that seek each other out in order to steal an affair.
I see couples who are unmatched and put up with the torture.
Who is for being the penitent of a prosecutor in the mirror?
Whoever hides what he feels, forgets that he is acting like an old man

Chorus
