These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El mar de carros no tiene final
The sea of carts has no end
Fieras al volante, urbe tenaz
Beasts at the wheel, tenacious city
El sol picante el asfalto humeante
The sun spicy the steaming asphalt
Unos delante otros detrás
One in front of the other behind
Unos al lado todos igual
Side by side all the same
Humo y alquitrán
Smoke and tar
Reino de chatarra
Kingdom of Scrap
Tierra de hormigón
Concrete earth
El bochorno aprieta
The embarrassment tightens
Danza el motor
Dance the engine
Nervios de punta
Spike nerves
Beat demencial
Insane beat
El smog inunda todos los rincones
Smog floods every corner
Se recalienta mi radiador
My radiator overheats
Gas carbónico pa' mi pulmón
Carbon dioxide for my lung
Mecanizado urbanizado motorizado civilizado
Civilized motorized urbanized machining
