Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Nave Espacial by Fito Páez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Es que madre aún no habló con abuela
It's just that mother hasn't spoken to grandmother yet
Y sus hermanos ya no saben qué hacer
And his brothers no longer know what to do
Su papá lo llevó a la escuela
His dad took him to school
Y ya nunca lo volvieron a ver
And they never saw him again
Cartucho no se hizo mucho problema
Cartridge was not much of a problem
Se fue a la puta con silvita, su amor
He went to the whore with Silvita, his love
No le dijeron nada a nadie
They didn't say anything to anyone
Y se fueron a niteroi
And they went to niteroi
El viaje fue divino por las rutas argentinas
The trip was divine along the Argentine routes
Durmieron en la calle, en las shells y en un camión
They slept on the street, in the shells and in a truck
Tomaron colectivos y en clorinda
They took buses and in clorinda
Cruzaron el río con dos malandras
They crossed the river with two miscreants
Tomaron cerveza e hicieron el amor
They drank beer and made love
Así fueron pasando los días
This is how the days went by
Y yo sé bien
and I know well
Que jamás pensaron en volver atrás
That they never thought of going back
Escribamos un mensaje o llamemos a tu hermana
Let's write a message or call your sister
Ella lo sabrá entender, es una piba legal
She will understand, she is a legal girl
Querían ver a la nave espacial de niemayer
They wanted to see Niemayer's spaceship
Que vieron el domingo en la revista de clarín
What did they see on Sunday in Clarín magazine?
La noche que llegaron a ipanema se tiraron a dormir
The night they arrived in Ipanema they went to sleep
Entonces pasó lo que pasó
Then what happened happened
El mar se puso bravo
The sea became rough
Levantaron olas de 1200 metros
They raised waves of 1200 meters
Y así fue que río de janeiro desapareció
And so it was that Rio de Janeiro disappeared
