Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Soy Un Extraño by Charly García from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Acabo de llegar
I just arrived
No soy un extraño
I'm not a stranger
Verse 1
Conozco esta ciudad
I know this city
No es como en los diarios
It's not like in the newspapers
Dos tipos en un bar
Two guys in a bar
Se toman las manos
Hold hands
Prenden un grabador
They turn on a recorder
Y bailan un tango
And dance a tango
Y yo los miro sin querer mirar
And I watch them without wanting to look
Enciendo un faso para despistar
I light a joint to distract
Me quedo piola y empiezo a pensar
I stay cool and start thinking
Que no hay que pescar
That you shouldn't fall for
Dos veces con la misma red
The same trick twice
Acabo de mirar
I just watched
Las luces que pasan
The passing lights
Acabo de cruzar
I just crossed
Las plazas, las razas
The squares, the races
Y siento un humo como familiar
And I feel a smoke as familiar
Alguien se acerca y comienza a hablar
Someone approaches and starts talking
Me quedo piola y digo que tal
I stay cool and say how's it going
Vamos a pescar dos veces con la misma red
Let's not fall for the same trick twice
Desprejuiciados son los que vendrán
The open-minded are the ones to come
Y los que están ya no me importan más
And the ones who are already here don't matter to me anymore
Los carceleros de la humanidad
The jailers of humanity
No me atraparán dos veces con la misma red
Won't catch me with the same trick twice
