Lazarillos Rhapsody by Ariel Lyrics
Mom, do I have to leave?
I know we are very poor
But this man here
Has taken my “simplicity” (12)
Keep the “devil” behind (12)
So you can survive and see
Men are just stingy, “lying, miserable creatures” (37)
'Cause men willingly, don't feed me
I can barely, “stand” on my feet (35)
The only way to happiness is guaranteed by only me, only me
Master, just tricked a town
He "preached” for a sec (102)
Fraud indulgence selling got bank in his check
Master, I’ve neva seen someone so “clever” (92)
But now I’m “respectably dressed”, I must go away (112)
Master, go ahead and sleep with my wife
Just keep “[renting my] house” and giving me some “holy bread” (115)
I am “quite content”, quite content, as long as I have my main necessities (117)
Life’s great, I have what I want
“Don’t know what my wife” does with the Archpriest (116)
As long as “all three of us [but mainly me are] happy” (117)
Finally, I am a “town crier” (114)
That hungry poor boy has gone away
I know we are very poor
But this man here
Has taken my “simplicity” (12)
Keep the “devil” behind (12)
So you can survive and see
Men are just stingy, “lying, miserable creatures” (37)
'Cause men willingly, don't feed me
I can barely, “stand” on my feet (35)
The only way to happiness is guaranteed by only me, only me
Master, just tricked a town
He "preached” for a sec (102)
Fraud indulgence selling got bank in his check
Master, I’ve neva seen someone so “clever” (92)
But now I’m “respectably dressed”, I must go away (112)
Master, go ahead and sleep with my wife
Just keep “[renting my] house” and giving me some “holy bread” (115)
I am “quite content”, quite content, as long as I have my main necessities (117)
Life’s great, I have what I want
“Don’t know what my wife” does with the Archpriest (116)
As long as “all three of us [but mainly me are] happy” (117)
Finally, I am a “town crier” (114)
That hungry poor boy has gone away
