Lyrics
A unos les toca en Gambia
y a otros en Pekin, oh
y a mi me tocó nacer
en Madrid, en Madrid.
Y no es un trauma
ni un orgullo para mi, eh
¿por qué no me dejaron elegir?
¡Oh, Madrid!
Una ciudad de alquitran,
hierro, cemento y cristal.
En Madrid
caen sombras largas
de edificios sobre mi, oh bajo mis pies siento crecer Madrid
¡Oh, Madrid!
Se ha hecho tan grande
y tan pequeño para mi, eh que sólo hay sitio
para ir y venir por Madrid.
Y no sobreviviras
si no funcionas a gas.
En Madrid (4x)
Alguna gente no lo puede soportar
yo ya sin humo no sé respirar, respirar.
Alguna gente
alguna gente
alguna gente
no lo puede soportar, oh yo ya sin humo no sé respirar en Madrid.
A unos les toca en Gambia
y a otros en Pekin, oh
y a mi me toca nacer
en Madrid, en Madrid.
Lyrics translation
Some people get in The Gambia.
and others in Beijing, oh
and I was born
in Madrid, in Madrid.
And it's not a trauma
no pride for me, eh
Why didn't they let me choose?
Oh, Madrid!
A city of tar,
iron, cement and glass.
In Madrid
long shadows fall
of buildings above me, oh under my feet I feel grow Madrid
Oh, Madrid!
It's gotten so big
and so small for me, eh that there is only room
to come and go through Madrid.
And you won't survive
if you don't run on gas.
In Madrid (4x)
Some people can't stand it.
I already without smoke I can not breathe, breathe.
Some people
some people
some people
can't stand it, oh I already without smoke I can't breathe in Madrid.
Some people get in The Gambia.
and others in Beijing, oh
and it's my turn to be born
in Madrid, in Madrid.
