ENGLISH LYRICS TRANSLATION

These English lyric translations are not yet verified.

I accompany my shadow down the avenue

My steps are lost among so many people

I'm looking for a door, a way out

Where past and present coexist

Suddenly I stop, someone watches me

I look up and meet her

And there it is, and there it is

There it is, there it is

Watching the Puerta de Alcalá pass by

A cold morning came

Carlos III with a distinguished air

And he took off his hat very slowly

Got off his horse

In a deep voice he said to his lackey

There it is, the Puerta de Alcalá

There it is, there it is

Watching the Puerta de Alcalá pass by

Jacketed spearmen, monarchs of other lands

Farrones who arrive inventing war

Militias that resist under the 'will not pass'

And the eternal dream, how it comes it goes

And there it is, there it is, the Puerta de Alcalá

There it is, there it is

Watching the Puerta de Alcalá pass by

All tyrants embrace like brothers

Showing people their indecent bald spots

Herds of macantes, two hundred students

They start the revolt, it's the 60s

And there it is, there it is, the Puerta de Alcalá

There it is, there it is

Watching the Puerta de Alcalá pass by

A lost transvestite, a rowdy guard

Red hairs, chichecas in the leathers

Rockers, modern insurgents, complacent

Poets and hung

And there it is, there it is, the Puerta de Alcalá

There it is, there it is

Watching the Puerta de Alcalá pass by

I look straight ahead and get lost in his eyes

Its arches watch over me, its shadow accompanies me

I don't try to hide, nobody cheats her

All life passes through his gaze

Look at her, look at her, look at her

Look at her, look at her, look at her

The Puerta de Alcalá

Look at her, look at her, look at her

Look at her, look at her, look at her

The Puerta de Alcalá
