Lyrics

Una redada en la calle,
una mirada sin voz,
un ralentíde coraje,
y un barrio susurrando amor.
Un discutir entre fichas,
en la escala del domino,
un manantial de cerveza,
y el humo de un porro a las dos.
Si tapas tu, tapo yo
tápalo y dejalo. No lo remuevas por Dios!
Si tapas tu, tapo yo, tápalo y entiéndelo. No se lo cuentes al sol.
No, no… tu barrio hecho canción.
El que te lo robó, el que se lo inventó.
El mismo que te habla de amor.
El que lo dibujó, el que se lo quedó.
Es tu barrio, barrio hecho canción.
Una continua del tema,
un par de lunes al sol,
un equilibrio en la barra
y un verso que rima con no.
Si tapas tu, tapo yo
tápalo y dejalo, no me lo cuentes por Dios.
Si tapas tu, tapo yo tápalo y entiéndelo, no se lo cuentes al sol
No, no… tu barrio hecho canción.
El que te lo robó, el que se lo inventó.
El mismo que te habla de amor.
El que lo dibujó, el que se lo quedó.
Es tu barrio, barrio hecho canción.
La calle, los verbos, los bares, los dueños, los premios, los barrios,
los perros, los cantaores, los camellos, las verbenas, las palabras,
los sueños, los perros,…
Los senderos que hablan de sueños, no devuelven más que sucio silencio.
Los paisajes que gritan recuerdos me devuelven sabores sin verbo.
Y los verbos que tienen te quiero, son las calles, son las calles que llevan…
al gueto
(gracias a Esteban por esta letra)

Lyrics translation

A raid on the street,
a look without a voice,
a slow-motion courage,
and a neighborhood whispering love.
A discussion between cards,
on the domino scale,
a spring of beer,
and smoke from a joint at two.
If you cover, I cover.
cover it and leave it. Don't remove it for God's sake!
If you cover, I Cover, Cover and understand. Don't tell the sun.
No, no ... your neighborhood made song.
The one who stole it from you, the one who made it up.
The same one that talks to you about love.
The one who drew it, the one who kept it.
It's your neighborhood, neighborhood made song.
A continuation of the theme,
a couple of Mondays in the sun,
a balance on the bar
and a verse that rhymes with no.
If you cover, I cover.
cover it and leave it, don't tell me for God's sake.
If you cover it, I cover it and understand it, do not tell the sun
No, no ... your neighborhood made song.
The one who stole it from you, the one who made it up.
The same one that talks to you about love.
The one who drew it, the one who kept it.
It's your neighborhood, neighborhood made song.
The street, the verbs, the bars, the owners, the awards, the neighborhoods,
the dogs, the singers, the camels, the vervain, the words,
dreams, dogs,…
The paths that speak of dreams, return nothing but dirty silence.
The landscapes that scream memories return to me flavors without a verb.
And the verbs that have I love you, are the streets, are the streets that carry…
the ghetto
