Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ojos De Video Tape by Charly García from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
No tengo agua caliente en el calefón
I don't have hot water in the heater
No tengo que escribir canciones de amor
I don't have to write love songs
No ves, que espero resucitar
Don't you see, that I hope to resurrect
Mientras miras esos ojos de video tape
While you look at those videotape eyes
Ya llega aquél examen del bien y el mal
That exam of good and evil is coming
Ya llegan las noticias cruzando el mar
The news is coming across the sea
No ves que el mundo gira al revés
Can't you see the world turns upside down
Mientras miras esos ojos de video tape
While you look at those videotape eyes
Este mundo exclamará por siempre
This world will exclaim forever
La película que vi una vez
The movie I saw once
Y este mundo te dirá por siempre
And this world will tell you forever
Que es mejor mirar a la pared
That it is better to look at the wall
Ya tienes las postales del Paraguay
You already have the postcards of Paraguay
Ya tienes las valijas sobre el diván
You already have the suitcases on the divan
Te vas, el mundo gira al revés
You leave, the world turns upside down
Mientras miras esos ojos de video tape
While you look at those videotape eyes
Este mundo exclamará por siempre
This world will exclaim forever
La película que vi una vez
The movie I saw once
Y este mundo te dirá que siempre
And this world will tell you that always
Que es mejor mirar a la pared
That it is better to look at the wall
