Lyrics

Hace muchos años en la calle 83
En un edificio construido con los pies
De buenos cimientos y una vista doble al mar
Donde se sentía que algo extraño iba a pasar
Y los de arriba festejaban noche y día
Y los de abajo se quejaban del relajo
Y los del centro, y los del centro
Esperando su momento
Nunca estuvo claro quien cuidaba el edificio
Pero todos juntos vivían en un paraíso
No hay agua caliente, y la luz se va a las 6
Y con solo un ascensor mejor bajar a pie
Y los de arriba compraron generadores
Y los de abajo leen con velas de colores
Y los del centro, y los del centro
Estaban de vacaciones
Señor superintendente
Nada es nuevo nada vino de repente
Si usted, no hace algo mas
Cada día habrá mas cosas que arreglar
Un señor del piso 20 decidió bajar
Y en el piso 7 lo invitaron a tomar
Café con leche con las manos amarradas
Sin una contribución no lo vamos a soltar
Y los de arriba asustados se escaparon
Y los de abajo asustados se quedaron
Y los del centro y los del centro repartiendo apartamentos
Señor superintendente
Nada es nuevo nada vino de repente
Si usted, no hace algo ya
Cada día habrá mas cosas que arreglar
Superintendente no se vuela un ladino de repente
Si usted no hace algo mas
No le van a dar su nobel de la paz
Les doy mi testimonio, hace un año que me fui
Encontré un nuevo edificio encontré donde vivir
No conozco a mis vecinos me hace falta mi balcón
Como extraño mi cocina como extraño mi balón
Pero aquí si hay agua caliente y las velas son de adorno
Señor superintendente, ya ni me asusto ni me escondo

Lyrics translation

Many years ago on 83rd Street
In a building built with feet
Of good foundations and a double view of the sea
Where it felt like something strange was going to happen
And those above celebrated night and day
And the people downstairs were complaining about the relaxation
And those in the center, and those in the center
Waiting for your moment
It was never clear who looked after the building
But they all lived together in a paradise
There is no hot water, and the light goes to 6
And with only an elevator it's better to walk down
And the people upstairs bought generators
And those below read with colored candles
And those in the center, and those in the center
They were on vacation.
Mr. Superintendent
Nothing is new nothing came suddenly
If you, don't do something else
Every day there will be more things to fix
A gentleman from the 20th floor decided to come down
And on the 7th floor they invited him to take
Coffee with milk with hands tied
Without a contribution we will not let go
And the frightened upstairs escaped
And those downstairs were scared.
And the downtown and the downtown handing out apartments
Mr. Superintendent
Nothing is new nothing came suddenly
If you, don't do something already
Every day there will be more things to fix
Superintendent doesn't blow up a rogue all of a sudden
If you don't do something else
They won't give him his nobel Peace Prize.
I give you my testimony, a year ago I left
I found a new building I found a place to live
I don't know my neighbors I need my balcony
How I miss my kitchen how I miss my ball
But here if there is hot water and candles are adornment
Superintendent, I'm not scared or hiding anymore.
