Lyrics

Nací en un barrio barato
fui vecino de una panaderia
mi mejor juguete era un gato
su maullido me inspiró melodías
crecí en la 33
y había de todo un poco
hombres que morían de estres
viudas, travestis, locos
Era un mundo gris
el color lo pintaban tus ganas de vivir
mas era feliz
los sueños no apuntaban mas alla de la nariz
quería ser bombero de la compañia 26
Un día conocí la escuela
y por falta de entusiasmo
conocí mis primeras penas
y corté las orejas de asno
pero aprendí a leer
y con esto aumentaron mi ganas de saber
conocí a borges, a marqués
y tambíen al señor gitar
y un matutino me contó que existía vietnam
Desde la calle 33
desde la calle 33
allí donde no existía ley
nacen historias sin rumbo de lo simple a lo profundo
desde la calle 33
desde la calle 33
allí donde no existía la ley
una guitarra fui mi norte y señaló mi rumbo
Probé mi primer cerveza
y a los doce mi primer cigarro
me hice hombre junto a una princesa
en la parte posterior de un carro
mientras las drogas
eran para mis amigos la nueva travesura
yo volando en mi alcoba
atrapando musas en mi partitura
encontré el camino que hoy me trajo hasta aquí
Desde la calle 33
desde la calle 33
allí donde no existía ley
nacen historias sin rumbo de lo simple a lo profundo
desde la calle 33
desde la calle 33
allí donde no existía la ley
una guitarra fui mi norte y señaló mi rumbo
desde la calle 33
desde la calle 33

Lyrics translation

I was born in a cheap neighborhood.
I was a neighbor of a bakery.
my best toy was a cat
his meow inspired me melodies
I grew up in the 33rd
and there was a little bit of everything
men who died of stress
widows, transvestites, madmen
It was a grey world
the color was painted by your desire to live
but I was happy
dreams did not point beyond the nose
I wanted to be a fireman for company 26.
One day I met the school
and for lack of enthusiasm
I knew my first sorrows
and I cut off the donkey's ears
but I learned to read
and with this increased my desire to know
I met borges, the Marquis.
and also Mr. gitar
and a morning man told me that vietnam existed
From 33rd Street
from 33rd Street
where there was no law
aimless stories are born from the simple to the deep
from 33rd Street
from 33rd Street
where there was no law
a guitar I was my north and pointed my way
I tried my first beer
and at twelve my first cigar
I became a man next to a princess
on the back of a carriage
while drugs
they were for my friends the new mischief
me flying in my bedroom
catching muses in my score
I found the path that brought me here today
From 33rd Street
from 33rd Street
where there was no law
aimless stories are born from the simple to the deep
from 33rd Street
from 33rd Street
where there was no law
a guitar I was my north and pointed my way
from 33rd Street
from 33rd Street
