El predicador se aburre
Los dados solo salen una vez
Los trucos del mago se descubren
Las brujas ya no creen en el poder.
Unos son el Yin y otros son el Yang
Y aunque no te olvides de tus barrotes
Nos vendría bien ponernos a bailar
La antigua danza del peyote.
Pero Dios, pero Dios
Sigue siendo tu anzuelo
Colgando del cielo.
Ni el oráculo sabe lo que puede pasar
Ni las líneas en el mapa de tus manos
Y a falta de la fe la gente suele inventar
Talismanes embrujados.
La lluvia apagó la hoguera del chaman
La bola de cristal ya no dice nada
Y los chicos de hoy no saben a donde van
Soñando con llegar al Nirvana.
Pero Dios, pero Dios
Sigue siendo tu anzuelo
Colgando del cielo.
Yo he visto al bien con los ojos del mal
Como un ciego feliz en la oscuridad
Nena no sé lo que va a pasar
Si la mentira se disfraza como la verdad
Si la mentira se disfraza como la verdad.
Carlos Varela (nato l'11 aprile 1963) è un cantautore cubano di nuova trova, spesso definito "il Bob Dylan di Cuba". Negli anni '80 si unì al movimento musicale della Nueva Trova, un genere musicale politico e poetico legato alla Rivoluzione cubana. Varela è noto per le sue canzoni che trattano temi sociali, politici e personali con una forte componente di critica sociale. La sua musica è caratterizzata da melodie malinconiche e testi introspettivi, spesso accompagnati da chitarre acustiche e percussioni tradizionali cubane. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "El hombre que se fue", "La vida es un sueño" e "Cuba va". Varela ha collaborato con numerosi artisti internazionali, tra cui Joan Manuel Serrat e Silvio Rodríguez. La sua musica è stata influenzata da cantautori come Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie e Víctor Jara.
