lyrics

ENGLISH
To the sound of the bugle,
Who will dance? To the music?
To the beat of a dollar, who won’t march?
Who won’t? Who won’t?

It’s the sound of a dollar
It’s the beat of a gold ring
It’s the shine of a new coin
What makes our heart dream on

Gracefully, we do dance, we dance in circles
Our hands pray and beg for a symbol

To the sound of the bugle,
Who will dance? To the music?
To the beat of a dollar, who won’t march?
Who won’t? Who won’t?

Sun sets and the rises for a dollar
And your friends clap at you and your VISA
There’s a thirst and a hunger for this power
Universe is a number to possess

We want, we want, we want!
Give me, give me, give me!
Dollar, dollar, dollar!

CASTELLANO*
Al sonido de clarín*,
¿quién va a bailar?
¿Al son de la música?
Al ritmo del dólar, ¿quién no baila?
¿Quién no bailará, quién no?

Es el sonido del dólar,
es el ritmo de un anillo de oro,
es el brillo de una moneda nueva
lo que hará soñar a nuestro corazón.

Grácilmente, bailamos en círculo,
nuestras manos rezan y piden por un símbolo.

Al sonido de clarín,
¿quién va a bailar?
¿Al son de la música?
Al ritmo del dólar, ¿quién no baila?
¿Quién no bailará, quién no?

El sol se pone y se levanta por un dólar,
y tus amigos te aplauden a ti y a tu VISA,
hay una sed y un hambre por este poder,
el universo es un número que poseer.

¡Queremos, queremos, queremos!
¡Dame, dame, dame!
¡Dólar, dólar, dólar!

*Guiño a la canción de Cecilia: "Al son del clarín, tan solo baila el que quiere, al son del dinero dice quién no se mueve".
