Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Arriba Los Corazones by Antonio Flores from Spanish to English.
Me voy con mi sombra
I'm leaving with my shadow
Al bar de la esquina
To the corner bar
Un bourbon con hielo
A bourbon on the rocks
Y una aspirina
and an aspirin
La barra un paisaje triste y desolado
The bar a sad and desolate landscape
La copa en mi morro
The cup in my nose
Se está soldando
She is welding
Y el penúltimo trago en la batalla
And the penultimate drink in the battle
La soledad me quema como metralla
Loneliness burns me like shrapnel
Y arriba los corazones
And up the hearts
Palpitan en las cornisas
They beat on the ledges
Y andan a tropicones
And they stumble
Casi muertos de risa
Almost dead laughing
Me voy con mi sombra
I'm leaving with my shadow
Al bar de la esquina
To the corner bar
Un nudo en la garganta, primo
A lump in your throat, cousin
Me hace cosquillas
She tickles me
La dolorosa pagando
The painful paying
Con la propina
with the tip
La última sonrisa
The last smile
Para tu sobrina
for your niece
Y arriba los corazones
And up the hearts
Me siento en plena subida
I feel on the rise
Me salen a borbotones
They come out in spurts
Cicatrices en la vida
Scars in life
Arriba los corazones
Up the hearts
Arriba los corazones
Up the hearts
Arriba los corazones
Up the hearts
Arriba los corazones
Up the hearts
Pidiendo cariño por compasión
Asking for affection out of compassion
Cariño por compasión
Affection out of compassion
