Lyrics
Je suis si loin, si loin de chez moi,
Mais je n’en re, je n’en reviens pas,
J’ai l’impression d'être né hier,
Sous un platane argenté et fier,
Autour de moi, sous leur nuque longue,
Inhalant clopes ni brunes ni blondes,
La meute fauve des cartoneros,
Et les effluves rauques du Paco,
Demente, cansado, pero aun despierto,
Luces verdes, calidas, desatan su violencia cruda,
Vivacidad incontenible de una ciudad apagada, herida,
Deseos eufóricos de alcanzar el alba
Ya !
Nubes de cenizas rojas atormentan la mirada,
En Buenos aires,
Ayer, desesperada y viva,
El cielo celeste al ras del piso aplasta,
Luces rosas se encienden sobre tu cuna rota,
Luminosidad insaciable de una ciudad insolente,
Ahora,
Sedienta, dulce, infantil, infernal y tierna
Siempre,
Je suis si bien, suis si bien ici,
Que je ne veux plus rentrer à Paris,
�?change Flore contre un Kimi Novak,
Bombonera contre le prince des parcs,
Je suis si loin, si loin de chez moi,
Mais jeune con, je ne comprends pas,
Pourquoi mon c�?ur s’emballe comme ça,
Pourquoi le ciel a des couleurs,
Que je ne soupçonnais pas,
Infernal y tierna,
Siempre,
Sedienta, dulce, infantil,
Luminosidad insaciable,
Buenos aires, ayer, ya,
Nubes de cenizas rojas atormentan, la mirada,
Demente, cansado pero aun despierto,
Ahora, voy al Kim &Novak,
Me canso, vuelvo, vuelvo a ir Ya !
Pálidas,
Desatan su violencia cruda,
Noche en Buenos aires,
Mi Buenos aires querido,
Je suis rentré, rentré à Paris,
Je n’ai plus rien, plus rien à faire ici,
Y’a pas de Kentucky la nuit,
Y’a pas ma préférée de toutes les filles,
�? treize kilomètres et des poussières,
J’ai laissé mon vieux c�?ur de pierre,
�? treize kilomètres et des poussières,
J’ai laissé mon vieux c�?ur de pierre,
Infernal y tierna,
Siempre,
Sedienta, dulce, infantil,
Luminosidad insaciable,
Buenos aires, ayer, ya,
Nubes de cenizas rojas atormentan, la mirada,
Demente, cansado pero aun despierto,
Ahora, voy al Kim &Novak,
Me canso, vuelvo, vuelvo a ir Ya !
Pálidas,
Desatan su violencia cruda,
Noche en Buenos aires.
Lyrics translation
I'm so far away, so far away from home,
But I don't, I can't believe it.,
I feel like I was born yesterday,
Under a silver and proud plane tree,
Around me, under their long nape,
Inhaling clopes neither brunettes nor blondes,
The fawn pack of cartoneros,
And the hoarse scents of Paco,
Insane, tired, but still awake,
Green, warm lights unleash their raw violence,
Irrepressible vivacity of a quenched, wounded city,
Euphoric desires to reach Dawn
Ya !
Clouds of red ash torment the gaze,
En Buenos aires,
Yesterday, desperate and alive,
The sky above the ground crushes,
Pink lights light on your broken crib,
Insatiable luminosity of an insolent city,
Now,
Thirsty, sweet, childish, infernal and tender
Always,
I'm so good, I'm so good here,
That I don't want to go back to Paris anymore,
�?exchange Flora for a Kimi Novak,
Bombonera against the Prince of parks,
I'm so far away, so far away from home,
But young cunt, I don't understand,
Why my heart?ur is packing like this,
Why the sky has colors,
That I didn't suspect,
Infernal and tender,
Always,
Thirsty, sweet, childish,
Insatiable luminosity,
Buenos aires, yesterday, already,
Clouds of red ash torment, the look,
Insane, tired but still awake,
Now, I'm going to Kim & Novak,
I get tired, I come back, I go back now !
Pale,
They unleash their raw violence,
Night in Buenos aires,
My Dear Buenos aires,
I went back, went back to Paris,
I have nothing more to do here.,
There's no Kentucky at night.,
Not my favorite of all girls,
�? thirteen kilometers and dust,
Did I leave my old friend?ur of stone,
�? thirteen kilometers and dust,
Did I leave my old friend?ur of stone,
Infernal and tender,
Always,
Thirsty, sweet, childish,
Insatiable luminosity,
Buenos aires, yesterday, already,
Clouds of red ash torment, the look,
Insane, tired but still awake,
Now, I'm going to Kim & Novak,
I get tired, I come back, I go back now !
Pale,
They unleash their raw violence,
Night in Buenos aires.
