Lyrics
La única camisa que le queda,
es de la fábrica.
La única guitarra que le queda,
da lástima.
Es mi amigo Jimmy Gerli,
el que nunca quiso fama,
toca para sus amigos
tirado en la cama.
A veces lo veo venir
y tosiendo empieza a sonreír,
vive de la suerte y la casualidad.
Jimmy Gerli, ahí vá
Jimmy Gerli, ahí vá
Jimmy Gerli…
Los chicos en el barrio
se le acercan para escuchar
historias de los héroes
de esta calle, que ya no estan
pelearon contra las jeringas
y perdieron por Knock Out.
Para Jimmy cada cuerda,
es un amigo para recordar.
Él sabe que todo cambió,
a la cumbia, ahora le dicen Rock n roll…
Silbando una de Vox Dei por la ciudad.
Jimmy Gerli, ahí vá.
Jimmy Gerli, ahí vá.
Jimmy Gerli…
Ya robaron tantas veces la farmacia
que no quiere abrir,
pero atienden por el fondo
porque saben que hay que vivir
a Jimmy no le venden ni aspirinas,
lo quieren cuidar,
es el último guerrero estratocasta
que va a quedar.
Pantalón gris bien chupín
y remera de Led Zeppelin.
Viene tarde, fué a tocar
nunca está.
Jimmy Gerli, ahí vá.
Jimmy Gerli, ahí vá.
Jimmy Gerli…
Lyrics translation
The only shirt he has left,
it's from the factory.
The only guitar he has left,
it's pitiful.
It's my friend Jimmy Gerli.,
the one who never wanted fame,
play for your friends
lying in bed.
Sometimes I see it coming
and coughing starts smiling,
he lives on luck and Chance.
Jimmy Gerli, there you go.
Jimmy Gerli, there you go.
Jimmy Gerli…
The boys in the neighborhood
they approach him to listen
stories of heroes
from this street, they are no longer
they fought against the syringes.
and they lost by knockout.
For Jimmy every rope,
he's a friend to remember.
He knows everything has changed,
cumbia, now called Rock n roll…
Whistling one of Vox Dei around town.
Jimmy Gerli, there you go.
Jimmy Gerli, there you go.
Jimmy Gerli…
The pharmacy's been robbed so many times.
you don't want to open,
but they take care of the bottom
because they know you have to live
Jimmy's not even sold aspirin.,
they want to take care of him.,
he's the last stratocast warrior
that's gonna stay.
Gray pants well Chupin
and Led Zeppelin T-shirt.
He's late, he went to play
he never is.
Jimmy Gerli, there you go.
Jimmy Gerli, there you go.
Jimmy Gerli…
