Javier Álvarez — Sunset Boulevard song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Sunset Boulevard" by Javier Álvarez.
Lyrics
Hoy llevas peluca en el día; de noche te escondes del foco de gas
Primero te atreves a oscuras, y luego visitas la esquina del bar
La esquina del bar te traiciona; traicionas tú a cientos de fans de cristal
Le guiñas un ojo al demonio, que ofrece su raya después de besar
Los años de papel te vuelven a cegar
Como a Norma Desmond en Sunset Boulevard
Te entregas de lleno a la fiesta, tan ebria de angustia que vas a estallar
Perdonas que ya no te miren, pero sin aplausos no sabes andar
Se rinden al ama del baile los viejos rumores de un nuevo galán
Regresas a casa desnuda, pidiéndole al cielo que no se abra más
Lyrics translation
Today you wear a wig in the day; at night you hide from the gas bulb
First you dare to dark, and then you visit the corner of the bar
The corner of the bar betrays you; you betray hundreds of Crystal fans
You wink at the devil, who offers his streak after kissing
Paper years blind you again
Like Norma Desmond on Sunset Boulevard
You give yourself up to the party, so drunk with anguish that you'll explode
Sorry they don't look at you anymore, but without applause you can't walk
The old rumors of a new gallantry surrender to the mistress of the dance
You come home naked, asking heaven not to open up anymore
