The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Blues del Atajo" by José Cruz.
Lyrics
Voy a liar un tabaco
En un solo de blues
Dame el tono, muchacho
Anda, apaga la luz
Es el blues del atajo
Que comienza en mayor
El vecino de al lado
Ya sacó el acordeón
Yo nací un día nublado
Creo que nunca paró
De llover en las calles
Alguien dijo que Noviembre lloró
A los quince de casa me salí a recorrer
Esta tierra abonada
De dolor y placer
Conocí a una mujer
Que vendía la ocasión
Me mudé a su querer
Iba hambriento de amor
Diecisiete, una lira
¡Hijo! a rockanrolear
Entre humo y bebida
¡Hijo! a vagabundear
¡Vine a dar con un blues!
¡En un frío callejón!
¡Olvidé lo demás!
¡Me subí a su vagón al final!
Lyrics translation
I'm gonna roll a snuff.
In a blues solo
Give me the tone, boy.
Come on, turn off the light.
It's the blues of the shortcut
That starts in major
Next door neighbor
He's already pulled out the accordion.
I was born on a cloudy day
I think it never stopped.
From raining on the streets
Someone said November cried
When I was fifteen from home, I went out for a tour.
This fertilized land
Of pain and pleasure
I met a woman.
Who sold the occasion
I moved to your will
I was hungry for love
Seventeen, one lira
Son! rock ' n ' roll
Between smoke and drink
Son! wandering around
I came to find a blues!
In a cold alley!
I forgot the rest!
I got in his car at the end!
