Se fueron una a una las estrellas
The stars went one by one
El mar mordía rastros de su arena
The sea bit traces of its sand
Herida luz que me partió aquel cielo
Wounded light that split that sky
Y hoy vuelves a amanecer viejo mundo
And today you dawn again old world
Japón estalla en ruidos y artefactos
Japan explodes with noise and artifacts
La noche da su sexo a Buenos Aires
The night gives its sex to Buenos Aires
Y yo a la vista de algún escenario
And I in sight of some scene
Y hoy vuelves a amanecer viejo mundo
And today you dawn again old world
Cómo serás, cómo seré
How will you be, how will I be
Cuántos seguiremos
How many will we continue?
Los que sobrevivieron
Those who survived
Marcaron huellas
They marked footprints
Te abarcaré en tu extensión
I will encompass you in your extension
Y seré la tierra, el agua, el sol
And I will be the earth, the water, the sun
El viento, el músico, el peatón
The wind, the musician, the pedestrian
Una esperanza, seré montaña

Seré comarca en tus comarcas
I will be a region in your regions
La triste ceremonia del velorio evitaré
I will avoid the sad wake ceremony
Y te amaré en el filo de un cuchillo
And I will love you on the edge of a knife
La leche es blanca, la carne es roja
Milk is white, meat is red
El hambre es negro, y negra es su herradura
Hunger is black, and black is its horseshoe
Una escopeta escupe balas de cocaína
A shotgun spits cocaine bullets
Y hay un titiritero, y hay un titiritero
And there is a puppeteer, and there is a puppeteer
Y yo te miro desde mi ventana
And I look at you from my window
Una más entre todas estas tantas
One more among all these many
Te quiero ver cantándole al futuro
I want to see you singing to the future
Y con toda esa gente, viejo mundo
And with all those people, old world
Cómo serás, cómo seré
How will you be, how will I be
Cuántos seguiremos
How many will we continue?
Los que sobrevivieron

Marcaron huellas

Te abarcaré en tu extensión

Una esperanza, seré montaña

Seré comarca en Catamarca

Los que se fueron no los olvidamos
Those who are gone we do not forget
Los que vendrán esperan por ahora
Those to come wait for now
Y los que estamos aprovecharemos
And those of us who are here will take advantage
Para cambiarte la cara, viejo mundo
