[English]

One day he returned from his flight,

Trying to change his wretched life.

He toasted to all the fools

That he trampled on without a trace.

Hidden in the shadows,

The new Judas betrayed once more.

The serpent advised him,

And crawled around selling friendship.

Many of us were bewitched

In his obvious and fatal parody.

Soon you'll know that there is no

Worse punishment than solitude.

What will those who know the truth say?

They are blind! If they don't want to see.

What will you do when your act is over?

Good actor, don't lie anymore!

That's how you'll die! In solitude, New Judas.

You won't come back,

To deceive me with your disguise.

This is your fantasy

That will have a sad ending.

You won't come back,

To sell us your false friendship,

This hypocrisy

You will pay for it someday.

Many of us were bewitched

In his obvious and fatal parody.

Soon you'll know that there is no

Worse punishment than solitude.

What will those who know the truth say?

They are blind! If they don't want to see.

What will you do when your act is over?

Good actor, don't lie anymore!

That's how you'll die! In solitude, New Judas.

You won't come back,

To deceive me with your disguise.

This is your fantasy

That will have a sad ending.

You won't come back,

To sell us your false friendship,

This hypocrisy

You will pay for it someday.

You won't come back,

To sell us your false friendship,

This hypocrisy

You will pay for it someday

...

[Spanish]

Un día volvió de la huida

Tratando de su pobre vida cambiar.

Brindó por todos los tontos

Que pisoteaba sin rastro dejar.

Oculto entre las sombras

El nuevo Judas volvió a traicionar.

La serpiente lo aconsejaba

Y se arrastraba vendiendo amistad.

Muchos fuimos hechizados

En su parodia evidente y fatal.

Pronto sabrás que no existe

Peor castigo que la soledad.

¿Qué dirán los que saben la verdad?

¡Ciegos son! Si no quieren ver.

¿Qué harás cuando acabe tu función?,

Buen actor ¡No mientas más!

¡Así morirás! En soledad, Nuevo Judas.

No volverás,

A engañarme con tu disfraz.

Esta es tu fantasía

Que un triste final tendrá.

No volverás,

A vendernos tu falsa amistad,

Esta hipocresía

Algún día la pagarás.

Muchos fuimos hechizados

En su parodia evidente y fatal.

Pronto sabrás que no existe

Peor castigo que la soledad.

¿Qué dirán los que saben la verdad?

¡Ciegos son! Si no quieren ver.

Buen actor ¡No mientas más!

¡Así morirás! En soledad, Nuevo Judas.

No volverás,

A engañarme con tu disfraz.

Esta es tu fantasía

Que un triste final tendrá.

No volverás,

A vendernos tu falsa amistad,

Esta hipocresía

Algún día la pagarás.

No volverás,

A vendernos tu falsa amistad,

Esta hipocresía

Algún día la pagarás
