Yazmín is fifteen years old

Breathes with fish fins

Yazmín is so delicate

His eyes are two drops of tea

Last night he ran away from home

No notes, no whys

Yazmín had much, much luxury

Today it starts in a brothel

Andy left thinking

'I will never be worse than home'

Andy left the neighborhood

Looking for what or who to have faith in

And his heart is strange

Turned on the parquet

He's already suffered a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of damage

It's time to run

There I go, I still feel that feeling

There I go, that touch in the soul

There I go, leaving for the first time

Things didn't change that much

Rosa stayed in San Pablo

Doing a friend a favor

They caught her with two kilos

Before the plane takes off

Rosa is a good, she is a good girl

With a big heart

When she let go of his arm, my love

Something in her broke

Dany has a dropper

Of drops that do not fall into the sea

If they take the pills away

There are voices that begin to speak

One cable connected directly

With something beyond

Dany wants to leave very soon

To never return

There I go, getting nowhere

There I go, I continue to the remango

Here I come, scoundrel at heart

Things didn't change that much

There I go, with my dead, with my pain

There I go, the view ahead

There I go, falling into temptation

Things didn't change that much

There I go, and you come with me

Here I come, errant knight

Here I go, let's see kid, I'll give you a fight

Let's see who has the most drinks tonight

Things didn't change that much

There I go, kicking in the storm

There I go, throwing lawyers

There I go, I ran away once too

Things didn't change that much

There I go

Getting nowhere

"Ahí Voy" is Fito Páez running through a gallery of kids who bolt from home, and then admitting he is one of them. Each verse is a tiny, blunt portrait. Yazmín is fifteen, delicate, with eyes like "dos gotas de té" (two drops of tea). She leaves with "sin notas, sin porqués" (no notes, no whys), and the next line lands hard: "hoy empieza en un burdel" (today she starts in a brothel). Andy leaves thinking "peor que en casa nunca estaré" (I'll never be worse off than at home). Rosa gets caught "con dos kilos" (with two kilos) while doing a friend a favour before her plane takes off in San Pablo (the Spanish name for São Paulo, Brazil). Dany hears voices if they take away his pills.

Then the chorus flips the camera. "Ahí voy" means "here I go", and Fito keeps repeating it like someone stepping out the door anyway: "cayendo en la tentación" (falling into temptation), "con mis muertos, con mi dolor" (with my dead, with my pain), and finally "yo también me escapé una vez" (I ran away once too). The shrug line "las cosas no cambiaron tanto" (things didn't change that much) is the bitter joke of the song. Watch the Argentine slang: "pibe" is "kid", "vos venís" is the Rioplatense way of saying "you come", and "te juego un pulso" is a dare to arm-wrestle. It ends with him "llegando a ningún lugar" (getting nowhere), which is honest, if a little bleak.
