Translation of 5 Mentira by Manu Chao

From:

mentira lo que dice
mentira lo que da
mentira lo que hace
mentira lo que va
(la mentira?.)

mentira la mentira
mentira la verdad
mentira lo que cuece
bajo la oscuridad

(mentira, mentira, la mentira?)

mentira el amor
mentira el sabor
mentira la que manda
mentira comanda
(mentira, mentira, la mentira?)

mentira la tristeza
cuando empieza
mentira no se va

(mentira, mentira, la mentira?)

mentira no se borra
mentira no se olvida
mentira, la mentira

mentira cuando llega
mentira nunca se va

mentira la mentira
mentira la verdad...

todo es mentira en este mundo
todo es mentira la verdad
todo es mentira yo me digo
todo es mentira ¿por que sera?


(mentira, mentira, la mentira?)






English Translation
==============


what is said is a lie
what is given is a lie
what is done is a lie
what goes is a lie

(the lie....)

a lie is a lie
the truth is a lie
what cooks below
the darkness is a lie

love is a lie
flavor is a lie
what is sent is a lie
the command is a lie

(lie, lie, the lie....)

the sadness is a lie
when the lie begins
it doesn't leave

(lie, lie, the lie....)


the lie doesn't fade
the lie isn't forgotten
(lie, the lie....)


when the lie arrives
it doesn't leave

the lie is a lie
the truth is a lie


everything is this world is a lie
everything is a lie, that's true
I tell myself that everything is a lie
everything is a lie, why will it be?


(lie, lie, the lie....)
