Por las aceras de la madrugada
On the sidewalks at dawn
Baila con las porteras su milonga al sol,
Dance with the concierges their milonga in the sun,
Con las ojeras que le sobran a tus ojos, corazón,
With the dark circles left over from your eyes, sweetheart,
Un día después de lo que el viento se llevó
One day after Gone with the Wind
Las secretarias de las oficinas
The office secretaries
Desayunan en la esquina un tentempié
They have a snack for breakfast in the corner
Y cuando bajan de la luna al disco duro de roer,
And when they come down from the moon to the hard drive to crack,
Con el sueño del revés y un futuro sin mañana, lloran
With the dream upside down and a future without tomorrow, they cry
Lágrimas de plástico azul rodando por la escalera,
Blue plastic tears rolling down the stairs,
Tribus de los mares del sur al oeste de la frontera,
South sea tribes west of the border,
Labios de papel de fumar, sabios que no saben nada,
Lips made of cigarette paper, wise men who know nothing,
Náufragos en la catedral, telarañas acostumbradas
Shipwrecked in the cathedral, accustomed cobwebs
A hacer noche en el cristal
To spend the night on the glass
Los cirujanos de las decepciones
The surgeons of disappointments
Cercenan por lo sano la alegría,
They curtail joy for good,
Las venas del amanecer almacenan sangre fría
The veins of dawn store cold blood
Y cada lunes nace muerto el nuevo día
And every Monday the new day is stillborn
El lápiz comisura de tu boca
The pencil corner of your mouth
Retoca los agravios del carmín,
Touch up the grievances of carmine,
Los proxenetas se colocan con aseo el peluquín
The pimps are placed with grooming the toupee
Y los Romeos se demoran y las Julietas se desenamoran
And the Romeos linger and the Juliets fall out of love
Lágrimas de plástico azul rodando por la escalera,
Blue plastic tears rolling down the stairs,
Tribus de los mares del sur al oeste de la frontera,
South sea tribes west of the border,
Labios de papel de fumar, sabios que no saben nada,
Lips made of cigarette paper, wise men who know nothing,
Náufragos en la catedral, telarañas amotinadas
Shipwrecked in the cathedral, rioting cobwebs
Lágrimas de plástico azul con sabor a despedida
Blue plastic tears with the flavor of farewell
Cuándo cruzará el autobús este callejón sin salida?
When will the bus cross this dead end?
Labios de papel de fumar, sabios que no saben nada,
Lips made of cigarette paper, wise men who know nothing,
Pétalos de flor de hospital, telarañas amotinadas
Hospital flower petals, rioting cobwebs
