These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Conozco a un empleado que fue muerto de pena
I know an employee who was grieved to death
Enamorado de las sirenas
in love with mermaids
El cine de mi barrio ya me mostró la escena
The cinema in my neighborhood already showed me the scene
No vi tu alma y quería tus venas
I didn't see your soul and I wanted your veins
Y en este torbellino donde nada importa
And in this whirlwind where nothing matters
Me sentí aliado y te perdí
I felt allied and I lost you
Pero sí vi tus ojos y hasta comí la arena
But I did see your eyes and I even ate the sand
Quise quedarme pero me fui
I wanted to stay but I left
Filosofía barata y zapatos de goma
Cheap philosophy and rubber shoes
Ni esta mentira te hace feliz
Not even this lie makes you happy
Quise quedarme cuando morí de pena
I wanted to stay when I died of sorrow
Quise quedarme pero me fui
I wanted to stay but I left
Y en la terminal
and in the terminal
Y en la terminal
and in the terminal
Estoy descalzo y te espero a ti
I am barefoot and I wait for you
El ómnibus se ha ido
the bus has left
El amor se ha vencido
love has expired
Quise quedarme pero me fui
I wanted to stay but I left
Filosofía barata y zapatos de goma
Cheap philosophy and rubber shoes
Quizás es todo lo que te di
Maybe it's all I gave you
(Quizás es todo lo que te di)
(Maybe it's all I gave you)
