Ella es Así (She's Like That) by David Alvarez
opens with a beautiful piano solo - Ella es Así (She's Like That)
captures the image of a 'dangerous' woman who, "deserves a song in
homage and complaint" the lyrics continue: "Politics, Politics. You are the fiercest weapon with which men of power erase pain from this world or fill it with suffering."
She's like that, everyone uses her, collar and tie, heels and blouse, she saves or kills you. At once fiery, as deep and cold, uncompromising, she controls the world with her audacity. And I don't know if you're worth something or are pain, nor what power has power over your love. Impeccable truth, also lies, fill your bones, uncontrollably you go through life. And even if I hide, I sense, you look. And even if I try to escape from you, you sharpen my verse. And I don't know if you're worth something or are pain, nor what power has power over your love. Politics, Politics. You are the fiercest weapon with which men of power erase pain from this world or fill it with suffering. Politics, Politics, you are the story I found, and even if I try to change you with my truth, I'll never be able to, even if I tire of trying. And I don't know if you're worth something or are pain, nor what power has power over your love. Politics, Politics, you are the fiercest weapon with which men of power erase pain from this world or fill it with suffering. Politics, Politics, you are the story I found and even if I try to change you with my truth I will never be able to even if I tire of trying.
Ella es así,
todos la usan,
cuello y corbata,
tacón y blusa te salva o mata.
Tan pronto ardiente
como honda y fría,
intransigente
controla el mundo con su osadía.
Y yo no sé si vales algo
o eres dolor
ni qué poder tiene poder
para tu amor.
Verdad impecable,
también mentira
llenan tus huesos
incontrolable vas por la vida.
Y aunque me esconda,
presiento, miras
Y aunque pretenda
escapar de ti
mi verso afilas.
Y yo no sé si vales algo o eres dolor,
ni qué poder
tiene poder para tu amor.
Política,
Política
Eres el arma más feroz
con que los hombres de poder
borran de este mundo el dolor
o lo llenan de padecer.
Política,
Política,
eres la historia que encontré
y aunque te trate de cambiar
con mi verdad nunca podré
aunque me canse de probar.
Y yo no sé si vales algo
o eres dolor,
ni que poder tiene poder
para tu amor.
Política,
Política,
eres el arma más feroz
con que los hombres de poder
borran de este mundo el dolor
o lo llenan de padecer.
Política,
Política,
eres la historia que encontré
y aunque te trate de cambiar
con mi verdad nunca podré
aunque me canse de probar.
