Lyrics
Yo no tenía ganas de reír,
túreías para no llorar;
yo le guiñaba un ojo a mi nariz,
túconsolabas a tu soledad.
Yo sin ninguna escoba que vender,
túcon mil y una noches que olvidar;
a míno me quería una mujer,
a ti se te moría una ciudad.
Túhabías perdido el último autobús,
a míme habían echado de otro bar;
los mismos alfileres de vudú,
el mismo cuento que termina mal.
Pero quiso el cielo
bautizar el suelo
con su gota a gota
y con champúde arena
para tu melena
de muñeca rota
y tu mirada azul
me dijo a cara o cruz
y mi alma de tahúr
lo puso a doble o nada.
Y los peces de colores de mis botas
y tus marchitos zapatitos de tacón
locos por naufragar
salieron a bailar
al ritmo de la lluvia sobre las capotas
el rocanrol de los idiotas.
Yo no venía de ningún país,
túibas camino de cualquier lugar;
conmigo no contaba el porvenir,
de ti no se acordaba el verbo «amar».
Yo no jugaba para no perder,
túhacías trampas para no ganar;
yo no rezaba para no creer,
túno besabas para no soñar.
Y sin equívocos de vodevil
ni alertas rojas en el corazón
el dios de la tormenta quiso abrir
la caja de los truenos y tronó,
porque quiso el cielo
acariciar el suelo
con su gota a gota
y con champúde arena
para tu melena
de muñeca rota.
Quédisparate de partida de ajedrez
con un partenaire
adicta al jaque mate.
Y tu bolso como un nido de gaviotas
y mi futuro con pan duro en el cajón
locos por naufragar
salieron a bailar
al ritmo de la lluvia sobre las capotas
el rocanrol de los idiotas.
Capeando el temporal
salieron a bailar
como dos locos bajo el chaparrón de notas
del rocanrol de los idiotas.
El rocanrol,
el rocanrol de los idiotas.
Como tu y como yo.
El rocanrol de los idiotas.
Se marcóla calle
con aquel detalle
de dejarnos solos.
El rocanrol de los idiotas.
Y por casualidad
comenzóa tocar
la flauta de Bartolo.
El rocanrol de los idiotas.
Go Johnny go, go, go.
El rocanrol de los idiotas.
All you need is love.
Y bailar
El rocanrol de los idiotas.
A vam ba baluba balam bam bu.
Tutti frutti.
El rocanrol de los idiotas.
Don’t worry.
El rocanrol de los idiotas.
Lyrics translation
I didn't feel like laughing.,
tours not to cry;
I winked at my nose,
you comforted your loneliness.
Me without any broom to sell,
toucon a thousand and One Nights to forget;
a woman loved me.,
you were dying for a city.
You missed the last bus.,
I was kicked out of another bar.;
the same voodoo pins,
the same story that ends badly.
But he wanted heaven
baptize the ground
with its drop by drop
and with sand shampoo
for your mane
broken wrist
and your blue look
he told me face or face
and my soul of tahur
he put it on double or nothing.
And the goldfish in my boots
and your shriveled heels
crazy for shipwreck
they went dancing
to the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
the rocanrol of idiots.
I didn't come from any country,
road tunnels from anywhere;
he didn't count the future with me.,
you didn't remember the verb "To Love."
I didn't play so I wouldn't lose,
there are traps not to win;
I didn't pray not to believe,
you didn't kiss so you wouldn't dream.
And without misconceptions of vaudeville
no red alerts in the heart
the storm God wanted to open
the box of thunder and thundered,
because he wanted heaven
stroking the ground
with its drop by drop
and with sand shampoo
for your mane
broken wrist.
Stay away from chess game
with a partner
addicted to checkmate.
And your bag like a seagull's nest
and my future with hard bread in the drawer
crazy for shipwreck
they went dancing
to the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
the rocanrol of idiots.
Weathering the storm
they went dancing
like two madmen under the chaparron of notes
the rocanrol of the idiots.
The rocanrol,
the rocanrol of idiots.
Like you and me.
The rocanrol of idiots.
The street was marked
with that detail
to leave us alone.
The rocanrol of idiots.
And by chance
he started playing
Bartolo's flute.
The rocanrol of idiots.
Go Johnny Go, Go, go.
The rocanrol of idiots.
All you need is love.
And dance
The rocanrol of idiots.
A VAM ba baluba balam Bam bu.
Tutti frutti.
The rocanrol of idiots.
Don't worry.
The rocanrol of idiots.
