El Chico De La Tapa Lyrics in English Fito Páez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Chico De La Tapa by Fito Páez from Spanish to English.
El chico de la tapa ayer vendía flores en corrientes
The boy on the cover yesterday was selling flowers on Corrientes
Después perdió a su chica en una sala en algún hospital
Then he lost his girl in a room in some hospital
Y hoy amablemente y con una gran sonrisa en los dientes
And today kindly and with a big smile on his teeth
Te para en la calle y si no le das te manda a guardar
He stops you on the street and if you don't give him, he tells you to f*ck off
Si la policía no lo trata muy decentemente
If the police don't treat him very decently
Si los camioneros no lo llevan hasta donde va
If the truck drivers don't take him where he's going
Él se vuelve al docke caminando muy tranquilamente
He goes back to Docke walking very calmly
Con la 22 en el bolsillo del papel de armar
With the .22 in the rolling paper pocket
Hace algunos años pateaba la calle
Some years ago he was pounding the street
Haciendo 'la paz' y vendiendo postales
Making 'peace' and selling postcards
El mundo está lleno de hijos de puta
The world is full of b*stards
Y hoy especialmente está lena la ruta
And today especially the road is full
No voy a morir de amor
I'm not going to die of love
El chico de la tapa tiene algunos asuntos pendientes
The boy on the cover has some pending issues
Su madre está de yiro y sus hermanos bebiendo en el bar
His mother is out of her mind and his brothers drinking at the bar
Y el sábado a la tarde en la cancha se oye un sólo grito
And on Saturday afternoon at the stadium, only one shout is heard
Dock sud ya tuvo un hijo y lo bautizaron arsenal
Dock Sud already had a son and they baptized him Arsenal
Y pasan los barbones, los snobs y los hincha pelotas
And the tough guys pass by, the snobs and the ball hogs
Los tanques, las estrellas, las revistas y la federal
The tanks, the stars, the magazines, and the cops
Y yo me río de todos en la cara son unos idiotas
And I laugh at all of them in the face, they are all idiots
Un ángel me protege y me vigila en esta ciudad
An angel protects me and watches over me in this city
Yo siempre viví en la boca del diablo
I've always lived in the devil's mouth
Naciendo, muriendo y resucitando
Being born, dying, and resurrecting
El mundo está lleno de hijos de puta
The world is full of b*stards
Y hoy especialmente está lena la ruta
And today especially the road is full
No voy a morir de amor
I'm not going to die of love
No voy a morir de amor
I'm not going to die of love
No voy a morir de amor
I'm not going to die of love
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
