| You were working for a man behind a velvet curtain
| Estabas trabajando para un hombre detrás de una cortina de terciopelo
|
| You were good and you were certain
| Eras bueno y estabas seguro
|
| Of what you were headed for
| De lo que te dirigías
|
| But then snap kerplam kalamazoo
| Pero luego chasquea kerplam kalamazoo
|
| Low and behold he was lying to you
| Bajo y he aquí que te estaba mintiendo
|
| And with revelation come repercussions
| Y con la revelación vienen las repercusiones
|
| That have you at your end
| que te tiene a tu lado
|
| In a great SNAFU your arrow bends
| En un gran SNAFU tu flecha se dobla
|
| Did you set your sights upon a target moving
| ¿Puso su mirada en un objetivo en movimiento?
|
| Did you hope in some fickle false fable
| ¿Esperabas en alguna fábula falsa y voluble
|
| A glass is at the top, but the diamond‘s on the bottom
| Un vaso está en la parte superior, pero el diamante está en la parte inferior
|
| What is a rightful dream, or a better expectation
| ¿Qué es un sueño legítimo o una expectativa mejor?
|
| All things are not as they appear
| Todas las cosas no son lo que parecen
|
| That which was far has become near
| Lo que estaba lejos se ha vuelto cercano
|
| In a great SNAFU it comes, but disappears
| En un gran SNAFU viene, pero desaparece
|
| All things are not as they appear
| Todas las cosas no son lo que parecen
|
| That which was far has become near
| Lo que estaba lejos se ha vuelto cercano
|
| With a twist or two you’re grinning ear to ear | Con un giro o dos estás sonriendo de oreja a oreja |
