Peces De Ciudad Lyrics in English Joaquin Sabina

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Peces De Ciudad by Joaquin Sabina from Spanish to English.
He combed his hair like garcon
The traveler who wanted to teach me how to kiss
In the gard'Austerlitz
Spring of a love
Yellow and frugal
Like the sun
From the summer of San Martín
There are those who say it was me
The first to forget
When in a B flat by Jacques Brel
I met Mademoiselle Amsterdam
In the fatwa New York
Gives more shade than lemon trees
The statue of Liberty
But on Desolation Row
The sirens of the oil tankers
They don't let you laugh or fly
And in the choir of Babel
Untunes a Spanish
There is no more law
That the law of the treasure
In King Solomon's mines
And braving the waves without rudder or coxswain
It goes through my dreams
Light of baggage on a nutshell my
Travel heart
Wearing the tattoos of a buccaneer past
From a sailboat to boarding a
I don't want to love you
And how to go when there are no islands left to shipwreck?
To the country where the wise men retire
From the insult of looking for lips
What drives you crazy
Lies that win such summary trials
That degrade the glass of aquariums
of city fish
who took the bait
that dive close to the ground
They don't deserve to swim
The gold was a shampoo
Virtue, arms in a cross
sin a web page
In Comala I understood
To the place where you have been happy
You shouldn't try to go back
When on a regular flight
I stepped on the sky of Madrid
I was waiting
A newly married
That she didn't remember me
And braving the waves without rudder or coxswain
It goes through my veins
Light luggage
On a nutshell my
Travel heart
Wearing tattoos from the buccaneer past
From a sailboat to boarding a
women's garter belt
And how to escape when there are no islands left to shipwreck?
To the country where the wise retreat from wrongs
To look for lips that drive you crazy
Lies that win such summary trials
That degrade the glass of aquariums
Of the city fish
who lost their guts
On a whitebait bank
In a beach
Without sea
