The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Viernes De Agosto" by Juan Carlos Baglietto.

Lyrics

Estamos de pie, muchachos
A la orilla del incendio que se quema
En las mentiras de la generación
Y la nave naufraga en los odios
Por odiar, no más
Hoy es viernes de agosto, muchachos
Y no hay luna en el azul de los futuros
Que vendrán a caminarnos por dentro
De lo sucio que alimentamos
Sin querer alimentar
Soy, somos, son y fueron…
Hay miles, y habrá cientos
Que buscarán, ante todo
En la calle o al final del recodo:
Lo que dá fuerzas, lo que aviva
Y esa luz, quizás…

Lyrics translation

We're up, boys.
To the edge of the burning fire
In the lies of the generation
And the ship wrecks in hatred
To hate, no more
Today's August Friday, boys.
And there is no moon in the blue of futures
That will come to walk us inside
Of how dirty we feed
Without wanting to feed
I am, we are, are and were…
There are thousands, and there will be hundreds
That they will seek, first of all
On the street or at the end of the bend:
What gives strength, what revives
And that light, maybe…
