Demoliendo Hoteles Lyrics in English Charly García
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Demoliendo Hoteles by Charly García from Spanish to English.
Yo que crecí con Videla
I who grew up with Videla
Yo que nací sin poder
I who was born without power
Yo que luché por la libertad
I who fought for freedom
Pero nunca la pude tener
But never could have it
Yo que viví entre faschista
I who lived among fascists
Yo que morí en el altar
I who died on the altar
Yo que nací con los que estaban bien
I who was born with those who were fine
Pero a la noche estaba todo mal
But at night everything was wrong
Hoy paso el tiempo
Today I spend time
Demoliendo hoteles
Demolishing hotels
Mientras los plomos juntan los cables, cazan rehenes
While the bullets gather the cables, hunt hostages
Hoy paso el tiempo
Today I spend time
Demoliendo hoteles
Demolishing hotels
Mientras los chicos allá en la esquina, pegan carteles
While the kids over there on the corner, put up posters
Yo fui educado con odio
I was raised with hatred
Y odiaba la humanidad
And I hated humanity
Un día me fui con los hippies
One day I went with the hippies
Y tuve un amor y también mucho más
And I had a love and also much more
Ahora no estoy más tranquilo
Now I'm not calmer anymore
Y por qué tendría que estar
And why should I be
Todos crecimos sin entender
We all grew up without understanding
Y todavía me siento un anormal
And I still feel abnormal
Hoy paso el tiempo
Today I spend time
Demoliendo hoteles
Demolishing hotels
Mientras los plomos juntan los cables, cazan rehenes
While the bullets gather the cables, hunt hostages
Hoy paso el tiempo
Today I spend time
Demoliendo hoteles
Demolishing hotels
Mientras los chicos allá en la esquina pegan carteles
While the kids over there on the corner put up posters
