Gracias a mi conducta vagamente antisocial
temo no verme nunca encaramado a un pedestal:
no alegrará mi efigie el censo de monumentos,
no vendrán las palomas a rociarme de excrementos.
Y es una pena, la verdad,
porque sería muy bonito
seguir de adorno en mi ciudad
sobre un bloque de granito.
Pues qué penita y qué dolor,
no tendré estatua, no señor.
Gracias a mi postura más bien anticlerical
no será un siglo de éstos cuando entre al santoral:
no acudirán beatas a pedirme un milagrillo,
no vendrán los ladrones a vaciarme mi cepillo.
Y es una pena, la verdad,
porque tenía cierta gana
de echarle un ojo a la deidad
mientras me doran la peana.
Pues qué penita y qué dolor
no tendré culto no señor.
Gracias a que mi musa se las da de cerebral
son pobres mis compases para expresión corporal:
no danzarán mis prosas las reinas de discoteca,
no vendrán los carrozas a hacer su gimnasia sueca.
Y es una pena, la verdad,
porque sería algo inefable
cambiar la torpe realidad
y ser o Borges o bailable.
Pues qué penita y qué dolor
no tendré el Nobel, no señor.
Gracias a mi tozuda decisión existencial
no cabe entre mis planes dar ningún salto mortal:
no gozará las honras funerales mi alma en pena,
no vendrán los gusanos a tirar de la cadena.
Y es una pena, la verdad,
porque sería algo divino
ver cómo todo es vanidad,
y yo en decúbito supino.
Pues qué penita y qué dolor
no tendré esquela, no señor.
The lyrics ... Y TODO ES VANIDAD of ROSENDO is also present in the album Ni presunto ni confeso (2018)
Rosendo è un cantautore e chitarrista spagnolo, considerato uno dei pilastri del rock latino negli anni '80. Nato a Madrid nel 1956, inizia la sua carriera musicale nei primi anni '70 con diverse band locali. Nel 1980 forma il gruppo Rosendo and Los Muertos, che raggiunge un grande successo in Spagna con album come "Endemico Embustero" (1982) e "Canciones Para Normales y Mero Dementes" (1984). Il suo stile musicale è caratterizzato da una forte componente rock, influenzato dal punk e dal blues, ma anche da elementi di flamenco e musica tradizionale spagnola. Rosendo è noto per le sue performance energiche e i testi provocatori che affrontano temi sociali e politici. Dopo la fine del gruppo nel 1987, continua a pubblicare album in solitario, come "Directo" (1988) e "Lo Mejor de La Edad de Oro Del" (2003). Tra le sue canzoni più famose si ricordano "El Último Baile", "La Vida es un Sueño" e "No Me Digas Que No".
