Yo no tenía ganas de reír,
I didn't feel like laughing
Tú reías para no llorar;
You laughed not to cry;
Yo le guiñaba un ojo a mi nariz,
I winked at my nose,
Tú consolabas a tu soledad
you consoled your loneliness
Yo sin ninguna escoba que vender,
I without any broom to sell,
Tú con mil y una noches que olvidar;
You with a thousand and one nights to forget;
A mí no me quería una mujer,
A woman did not love me,
A ti se te moría una ciudad
A city was dying for you
Tú habías perdido el último autobús,
You had missed the last bus,
A mí me habían echado de otro bar;
I had been kicked out of another bar;
Los mismos alfileres de vudú,
The same voodoo pins,
El mismo cuento que termina mal
The same story that ends badly
Pero quiso el cielo
But he wanted heaven
Bautizar el suelo
baptize the soil
Con su gota a gota
With your drop by drop
Y con champú de arena
And with sandy shampoo
Para tu melena
for your mane
De muñeca rota
broken wrist
Y tu mirada azul
and your blue gaze
Me dijo a cara o cruz
She told me to toss or toss
Y mi alma de tahur
and my gambler's soul
Lo puso a doble o nada
She set it to double or nothing
Y los peces de colores de mis botas
And the goldfish on my boots
Y tus marchitos zapatitos de tacón
And your withered little heels
Locos por naufragar
crazy about shipwreck
Salieron a bailar
they went out to dance
Al ritmo de la lluvia sobre las capotas
To the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
Yo no venía de ningún país,
I did not come from any country,
Tú ibas camino de cualquier lugar;
You were on your way to anywhere;
Conmigo no contaba el porvenir,
With me the future did not count,
De ti no se acordaba el verbo 'amar'
The verb 'to love' did not remember you
Yo no jugaba para no perder,
I did not play not to lose,
Tú hacias trampas para no ganar;
You cheated not to win;
Yo no rezaba para no creer,
I did not pray not to believe,
Tú no besabas para no soñar
You didn't kiss so as not to dream
Y sin equívocos de vodevil
And without vaudeville mistakes
Ni alertas rojas en el corazón
Nor red alerts in the heart
El dios de la tormenta quiso abrir
The god of the storm wanted to open
La caja de los truenos y tronó,
The box of thunder and thundered,
Porque quiso el cielo
because he wanted heaven
Acariciar el suelo
caress the ground
Con su gota a gota
With your drop by drop
Y con champú de arena
And with sandy shampoo
Para tu melena
for your mane
De muñeca rota
broken wrist
Qué disparate de
what nonsense of
Partida de ajedrez
chess game
Con un partenaire
with a partner
Adicta al jaque mate
addicted to checkmate
Y tu bolso como un nido de gaviotas
And your bag like a nest of seagulls
Y mi futuro con pan duro en el cajón
And my future with hard bread in the drawer
Locos por naufragar
crazy about shipwreck
Salieron a bailar
they went out to dance
Al ritmo de la lluvia sobre las capotas
To the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
Capeando el temporal
weathering the storm
Salieron a bailar
they went out to dance
Como dos locos bajo el chaparrón de notas
Like two madmen under the downpour of notes
Del rocanrol de los idiotas
Of the rock and roll of the idiots
El rocanrol,
the rock and roll,
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
Como tu y como yo
Like you and me
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
Se marcó la calle
The street was marked
Con aquel detalle
with that detail
De dejarnos solos
to leave us alone
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
Y por casualidad
and by chance
Comenzó a tocar
began to play
La flauta de Bartolo
Bartolo's flute
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
Go Johnny go, go, go
Go Johnny go go go
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
All you need is love
all you need is love
Y bailar
And dance
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
A vam ba baluba balam bam bu
A vam ba baluba balam bam bu
Tutti frutti
Tutti Frutti
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
Don't worry
Don't worry
El rocanrol de los idiotas
Idiot's rock n 'roll
