Lyrics

Ayer la vi paseando por corrientes
Gastaba la vereda con su andar
Mezcla de Chaplin y Mariline Monroe
Mezcla de inocencia y fatalidad
Los ojos vidrio rojo, la cara marfil
Los cables conectados con el alma
Amores de una cuadra de inutiles promesas al pasar
Desparramando sexo al caminar
Fantastico arlequin de media risa
Desojando la voz para el que quiera
Canta su delirio, como Malena
Si se pone triste con el alcohol
Cuando sale a la arena se ilumina de estrellas
Gimiendo enloquecida entre las luces se fuma
Se compone, se pinta de el derecho y del reves
Para pisar las tablas otra vez
Ensonación de raso y lentejuelas
De frula de champagne, de flores nuevas
En una piecita de Avellaneda
Canta un blues a duo con el Wincofon
Comer todos los dias, no es cosa regalada
Cuando es de siete dias la semana
Hay que ganarse el mango se aguanta y la rebusca
Con los pies vendiendo enciclopedias de frances
Ayer la vi paseando …

Lyrics translation

Yesterday I saw her strolling through corrientes
He spent the sidewalk with his walk
Mix of Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe
Mixture of innocence and fatality
Red glass eyes, ivory face
Cables connected with the soul
Loves a block of useless promises to pass
Spreading sex while walking
Fantastic half-laugh Harlequin
Giving away the voice for whomever you want
She sings her delirium, like Malena
If you get sad with alcohol
When it goes out into the sand it lights up with stars
Moaning madly among the lights she smokes
It is composed, it is painted from the right and from the reverse
To step on the boards again
Satin and sequins sheen
Of champagne frula, of new flowers
In a little piece of Avellaneda
Sing a blues duo with the Wincofon
Eating every day is not a gift
When it's seven days a week
You have to earn the handle holds up and digs it
With feet selling French encyclopedias
I saw her walking yesterday …
