Carabelas Nada Lyrics in English Fito Páez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carabelas Nada by Fito Páez from Spanish to English.
Chico Buarque tiene puestos
Chico Buarque has positions
Los anteojos que dejé sobre un cuaderno con su rostro
The glasses that I left on a notebook with his face
Iluminando el cuarto, algo entrando en la mañana
Lighting up the room, something coming into the morning
Carabelas de la nada, carabelas nada
Caravels of nothing, caravels of nothing
Chocan, se hacen trizas en el aire
They collide, they shatter in the air
Lo del tango es una idea que me toca aunque no quiera
Tango is an idea that touches me even if I don't want to
Una chica sube a un taxi Caballito, Buenos Aires
A girl gets into a Caballito taxi, Buenos Aires
Muere un tipo en Mataderos, un balazo en un aguante
A guy dies in Mataderos, a bullet in a support
Y esto no deja de ser una canción
And this is still a song
Desde el alma
From the soul
Sol que me calma
Sun that calms me
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Hoy pare con la botella
Today I stopped with the bottle
Todos saben lo difícil que es zafarse de ella
Everyone knows how hard it is to get away from it
Ella tiene el par de piernas más largas que vieras
She has the longest pair of legs you've ever seen
Y hace que tu corazón parezca que aun siguiera
And she makes your heart feel like it's still going on
Tango, que me hiciste mal
Tango, you did me wrong
Y sin embargo te quiero, quiero sepultar
And yet I love you, I want to bury
La vieron a tu vieja, con un pan de hash
They saw your old woman, with a hash bun
Vendiéndole a los negros en la calle Montparnasse
Selling to black people on Montparnasse Street
Y esto no deja de ser una canción
And this is still a song
Desde el alma
From the soul
Sol que me calma
Sun that calms me
Da-ru-te
Da-ru-te
Na-bu-ta-te
Na-bu-ta-te
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Chico Buarque tiene puestos
Chico Buarque has positions
Los anteojos que dejé sobre un cuaderno con su rostro
The glasses that I left on a notebook with his face
Iluminando el cuarto, algo entrando en la mañana
Lighting up the room, something coming into the morning
Carabelas de la nada, carabelas nada
Caravels of nothing, caravels of nothing
Carabelas de la nada, carabelas nada
Caravels of nothing, caravels of nothing
Carabelas de la nada, carabelas nada
Caravels of nothing, caravels of nothing
Carabelas de la nada, carabelas nada
Caravels of nothing, caravels of nothing
