Esto es una bomba de tiempo nena
This is a time bomb, babe
Y nadie sabe como detenerla, como detenerla
And nobody knows how to stop it, how to stop it
Y ahora que los buitres sobrevuelan
And now that the vultures fly over
Nuestro cuerpo es como un niño que se tensa, que se tensa
Our body is like a child that tenses up, that tenses up
Cuento desde cero
I count from zero
Ya sabemos como es
We already know how it is
Finalmente será cero
Finally it will be zero
Cuando quiero correr
When I want to run
La tierra se abre ante mis pies
The earth opens up before my feet
Esto es una bomba de tiempo nena
This is a time bomb, babe
Lo mismo que nos une hoy nos desintegra, nos desintegra
The same thing that unites us today disintegrates us, disintegrates us
En la escenografía de la espera
In the scenery of waiting
Una chispa de más y así es como el incendio empieza
One spark too many and that's how the fire starts
El incendio empieza
The fire starts
Cuento desde cero
I count from zero
Ya sabemos como es
We already know how it is
Finalmente será cero
Finally it will be zero
Cuando quiero correr (solo quiero correr)
When I want to run (I just want to run)
La tierra se abre ante mis pies
The earth opens up before my feet
Trágame tierra!
Swallow me, earth!

Did you like this lyrics translation?
buitres — vultures
Buitres translates to "vultures". It's a striking and somewhat ominous word that immediately grabs attention, as it's not commonly found in everyday song lyrics.
In "Bomba de Tiempo," Gustavo Cerati uses "buitres" metaphorically to represent impending doom or danger. The line "Y ahora que los buitres sobrevuelan" (And now that the vultures fly over) evokes a powerful image of a situation on the brink of collapse, adding a layer of intensity and urgency to the song's theme of a ticking time bomb.
