The moon is hanging in the purple sky
The baby's sleeping while its mother sighs
Talking 'bout the rich folks
Rich folks have the same jokes
And they park in basic places.
The priest is preaching from a shallow grave
He counts his money, then he paints you saved
Talking to the young folks
Young folks share the same jokes
But they meet in older places.
So don't tell me about your success
Nor your recipes for my happiness
Smoke in bed
I never could digest
Those illusions you claim to have going.
The sun is shining, as it's always done
Coffin dust is the fate of everyone
Talking 'bout the rich folks
The poor create the rich hoax
And only late breast-fed fools believe it.
So don't tell me about your success
Nor your recipes for my happiness
Smoke in bed
I never could digest
Those illusions you claim to have going.
Sixto Rodríguez, born Sixto Díaz Rodríguez, is an American singer-songwriter from Detroit, Michigan, born in 1942. He began his musical career in the 1960s, releasing two albums, "Cold Fact" (1970) and "Coming from Reality" (1971), which achieved modest success in the United States. However, it was only in the 1980s in South Africa that Rodríguez became a legendary figure due to the clandestine circulation of his records. His music, characterized by introspective lyrics and folk-rock melodies, resonated with the oppressed South African population under the apartheid regime. In 2012, his success in South Africa was brought to light by the documentary "Searching for Sugar Man", which earned him renewed international recognition. Rodríguez continues to perform and record music, maintaining a strong fan base worldwide. Some of his most representative songs include "Sugar Man", "I Wonder" and "Like Clouds".
