Lyrics
Yo camine por tu calle desierta
en el silencio de la madrugada
y recorri tu figura inquietante
hasta llegar a la tarde nublada
en una vieja estacion despoblada
mire los trenes llegar desde lejos
cerre los ojos, detuve el tiempo,
quise decirte todo lo que siento
Sos tan seductora, imprecisa y distante
dulce y errante, algo extravagante
vos sos mi espejo yo en ti me reflejo
y tantas veces te dije te dejo
yo se que sos elegante y soberbia
a veces cruel inmadura y violenta
sos tan romantica y tan decadente.
Y te vi excitante y encendida!
mi querida. Buenos Aires
…en la vagancia de solo conocerte
yo caminaba por la calle talcahuano
y recorri tu centro un domingo de invierno
vacio, helado, deshabitado
te vi morir y nacer en el tiempo, te vi bailar
empolvada y brillante
haciendo alarde de tu decadencia.
y te vi…
(misteriosa buenos aires)
Quise escaparme de ti tantas veces
pero volvi caminar por tus calles
fuiste mi cuna mi carcel mi espejo
mi extraña amante de la adolescencia
vivr contigo necesita ciencia
para entenderte se precisa de paciencia
tan inconclusa, extravagante
te recorri para poder amarte
Y te vi excitante y encendida!
misteriosa buenos aires …
Lyrics translation
I walk down your deserted street
in the silence of the morning
and I went through your creepy figure
until the cloudy afternoon
in an old unpopulated station
watch the trains arrive from afar
close your eyes, I stopped time,
I wanted to tell you all I feel
You are so seductive, imprecise and distant
sweet and wandering, something extravagant
you are my mirror I reflect in you
and so many times I told you I leave you
I know you're elegant and proud
sometimes cruel immature and violent
you're so romantic and so decadent.
And I saw you hot and hot!
my dear. Buenos Aires
... in the Vagrancy of just knowing you
I was walking down talcahuano Street
and I walked through your center on a winter Sunday
empty, icy, uninhabited
I watched you die and be born in time, I watched you dance
dusty and shiny
flaunting your decadence.
and I saw you…
(mysterious buenos aires)
I wanted to get away from you so many times
but I walked back through your streets
you were my cradle my jail my mirror
my strange teen lover
living with you needs science
to understand you it takes patience
so unfinished, extravagant
I walked through you so I could love you
And I saw you hot and hot!
mysterious buenos aires …
