The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Cambios" by Juan Carlos Baglietto.
Lyrics
No hay un cambio si fueron disueltos
Y dejaron los estados desiertos
La tecnologia europea
Se rompe en la cordillera
Y conejitos de indias somos
Por suerte no hay otra vida
Como nos promete el cura
No hay un mango en las arcas del cielo
Se robaron los diez mandamientos
Un video clip neoyorquino
Vale menos que un vaso
Ser de esta tierra es pecado
Y ser fieles al pasado
Nos convierte en esclavos
Cuanto duras, cuanto deseas
El deseo de desear
El deseo de cambiar
Esta tierra colombina
Te embriaga pero te quita
Un poco de alegria
Por que todavia te duelen las heridas
Disculpame no quiero cantarte mas
Los soldados se pintan como tu mamá
Y hay un señor elegido
Que a todos pide permiso
Menos a vos que viste la vida
Por una consigna
Y hoy no vale cinco guitas
Marihuana entre rejas
Hoy corres la coneja
Como el ciego del subte
Que canta villancicos
Aunque no sea navidad
Cuanto duras, cuanto …
Lyrics translation
There is no change if they were dissolved
And left the states deserted
European technology
It breaks in the mountain range
And guinea pigs are
Luckily there is no other life
As promised by the priest
There is no handle in the coffers of heaven
The Ten Commandments were stolen
A New York video clip
It's worth less than a glass.
To be of this earth is sin
And be faithful to the past
Makes us slaves
How long you last, how long you want
The desire to desire
The desire to change
This Columbian land
It gets you drunk but it takes you away
A little joy
'Cause your wounds still hurt
Excuse me I don't want to sing to you anymore
Soldiers paint themselves like your mom
And there's a chosen gentleman
That everyone asks permission
Except you who saw life
By a slogan
And today is not worth five guitas
Marijuana behind bars
Today you run the rabbit
Like the blind man on the subway.
Who sings carols
Even if it's not Christmas
How long you last, how long …
