Lyrics
La noche se vuelve de esparto cuando llega la despedida
Hay un hueco a medida para el polizonte
Se marcho lejos de su casa con el corazon en rodaje
A cambio de ese pasaje vendio su alma al diablo
Hoy de nuevo le vi pasar algo triste pero amable
Siempre infatigable tras el pan y la sal
Hoy de nuevo le vi pasar tenia los ojos alegres
Alguien le dio noticias breves de su pueblo natal
El pecado de ser africanos en madrid
Abri los ojos para ver que no llega el sol aqui
El pecado de ser ebano sangre y marfil
Si miras bajo tu piel hay un mismo corazon
Quizas con un poco de suerte llegaras hasta la gran via
Sin que la policia te pida el pasaporte
Si la luna esta de su parte por ventura tendra su cama
Hecha de hojas y ramas en la plaza de españa
Hoy de nuevo le vi pasar…
Lyrics translation
The night turns esparto when the farewell comes
There is a custom-made hole for the stowaway
He walked away from home with his heart on camera
In exchange for that passage he sold his soul to the devil
Today again I saw him go through something sad but kind
Always tireless after bread and salt
Today again I saw him pass by had cheerful eyes
Someone gave him brief news of his hometown
The sin of being African in madrid
I opened my eyes to see that the sun does not come here
The sin of being Ebony blood and Ivory
If you look under your skin there is one heart
Maybe with a little luck you'll make it to the grand via
Without the police asking for your passport
If the moon is on your side, he'll probably have his bed.
Made of leaves and branches in the Spanish Steps
I saw him pass again today…
