Yo Me Vi (Autorretrato)

I Saw Myself (Self-portrait)

Yo me vi marginal y reprimido
Izquierdoso y vengativo
Y hoy parezco un maniquí

Yo me vi, «Viva el Che» en la camiseta
Y un milico en bayoneta
Persiguiéndome a morir

Yo me vi de transporte colectivo
De bandera alternativo
Y el futuro un bisturí

Yo me vi, de agremiado socialista
De esos que hoy son anarquistas
Y van a Bale a hacer ski

Yo me vi, convertido en nuevo rico
Y esta mierda testifico
No es del todo para mí

Yo me vi, de portada en la revista.
Yo que fui telegrafista
Hoy voy de divo algo Dalí

Yo me vi, de Ferrari en Montecarlo
Todo un yuppie para envidiarlo
Y un amor para elegir

Yo me vi, apostándole al mercado.
Yo que estaba desahuciado.
¿Qué carajos hago aquí?

Yo me vi, de proletario y vanguardista
Al Jet-set de los artistas
Y en el medio me perdí

Yo me vi, triste y tan decepcionado.
Hoy que sé que los dos lados
Se aprovecharon de mí

I saw myself as a misfit and repressed
A lefty and vengeful
And today I seem like a mannequin

I saw myself with ‘Long live el Che’ on my T-shirt
And a soldier with a bayonet
Pursuing me until I die

I saw myself in a bus
With a subversive banner
And a utility knife as my future

I saw myself as a socialist associate
Of those who are anarchists today
And go to Bale to ski

I saw myself as having become nouveau riche
And this shit I swear
Is not entirely for me

I saw myself on the cover of the magazine.
I who was a telegraphist
Today go as a somewhat Daliesque star

I saw myself in a Ferrari in Monte Carlo
A complete yuppie to be envied
And a lover of my choosing

I saw myself betting on the market.
I who used to be evicted.
What the hell am I doing here?

I saw myself as a proletarian and avant-garde
In the jet-set of artists
And I got lost along the way

I saw myself, sad and so disappointed.
Today I know that both sides
Took advantage of me
