La canción de Pedro

[En el metro de Argüelles, Pedro, un ex-obispo vagabundo, se gana la vida tocando el acordeón. Él será el elegido por Jesús para establecer un nuevo orden de revolución.]

Caminando muy despaciopor el metro siempre vasu techo son las estrellasy por cama un viejo portal.

Junta monedas en un vaso rotoatado a su viejo acordeónsu mirada de tristezadelata que intima con la soledad.

¡ Señor, donde estás !

Largas canas en su barbay su poco pelo sin peinarsus zapatos son los dedoscansados y aburridos de andar.Compañero del frío jamás recibióayuda de ninguna instituciónaún recuerda sus tiempos deobispo rebelde y su expulsión.¡ En mi fé mando yo !

Cuentan que estando un día en el metroun tipo alto y delgado le habló.Llevaba pantalones vaqueroschupa de cuero, alto y cálida voz¡tu nombre ahora es Pedro y no Simón!

Sobre esta piedra montaréun nuevo orden de revolución.Tiraremos los muros de oroque la Iglesia en nombre de mi padre robó.¡Cuando yo me vaya tú serás mi voz!

Desde aquel día si viajas en metroen busca de libertadhuye del pobre de espírituy sigue al rico de corazón

Pues quien golpea su pechoy ficha en misa de doce a dospero huye del negro y del gay,a ese no quiero yo.

Peter's song

[In the Argüelles metro station in Madrid, a homeless ex-bishop makes his living playing the accordeon. He will be Jesus' chosen one to establish a new order of revolution.]

Walking very slowly,he always roams in the subway,the stars are his roofand his bed is an old door.

He collects change in a broken glasstied to his old accordeonhis sad look on his facegives away that he's close with solitude

Lord, where are you!?

Long grey hairs in his beardand the little hair he has isn't combedhis shoes are his toeswhich are already tired of walking.Being the cold's companion, he never gothelp from any institution.He stills remembers the timeswhen he was a rebel bishop and when he was banned.I'm the master of my faith!1

People tell that one day, while he was in the subway,a tall, slender guy talked to him.He was wearing jeansa leather jacket, and had a warm voice.Henceforth, you are called Peter and not Simon!

On this stone2, I'll seta new order of revolution.We'll bring down the gold wallsthat the Church stole in my father's name.When I'm gone, you'll be my voice!

Ever since that day, if you use the subway,looking for freedom,run away from the poor in spiritand follow the rich in heart.

Since those who beat their breastand clock in at church from twelve till two,but run away from the black and the homosexual,those, I don't want.
