El Cuarteto de Nos - Chivo Expiatorio (English Translation) Lyrics[Verse 1]
Pandora was walking
Walking down the street alone
Alone with her box, unaware
What is it? What is it? What does it hold?
Some might say it's just a vase
To confuse, to distract attention
And they accuse her, praising
Her curiosity as a sin
And they send her a message in a plot
If the box is opened, the sea will spread
And everything will go out of control because of her fault
And they begin to attack her, insult her, and threaten
They chase her, they want to steal the box
Bеcause that's where thе curse lies, which will break the symmetry
Here, where peace and harmony always reigned
[Chorus]
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
With all the weight, all the weight, yes!
With all the weight, uh
[Verse 2]
As in every conspiracy, the punishment is severe
Those with doubts, go ask Judas
The one they beat for his malice
As if betrayal and greed didn’t exist
Come here, let’s build this puppet to burn
He’s cruelty, he’s violence (Hang him, kick him)
Tighten the knot like no other
He’s impure and always knew it, that dark being, turn him to smoke (Light him, burn him)
[Bridge]
And amidst smiles (Burn him), let the breeze (Burn him)
Take away our guilt along with his ashes
(Ha, ha, ha, ha) After each sacrifice, we feel the relief
(Ha, ha, ha, ha) Of keeping intact that macabre balance
(Ha-ah-ah) And in that symbolic act
(Ha-ah-ah) In an elliptical form
(Ha-ah-ah) We purge the diabolical
(Ha-ah-ah) With zero self-criticism
[Verse 3]
It’s more of an ally than an adversary
Pointed at with an accusatory finger
No need for a bloody conflict
As long as there's a scapegoat at hand
If there's no air, there are no flames
Without Pandora, there are no dramas
Without a fool, there’s no clever one
Without a Judas, there’s no Christ
[Chorus]
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
With all the weight, all the weight, yes!
With all the weight (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Solo]
[Outro]
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
