En Este Barrio Lyrics in English Juan Carlos Baglietto
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Este Barrio by Juan Carlos Baglietto from Spanish to English.
EN ESTE BARRIO
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
Hablaban siempre de dinero
They always talked about money
Y planeaban asaltar un banco
And they were planning to rob a bank
Y al llegar otro febrero
And when another February arrives
Soñaban con fugarse en un barco
They dreamed of escaping on a boat
Y año tras año se han ido yendo así
And year after year they have gone like this
Creyendo que la vida era un velero
Believing that life was a sailboat
Sueño tras sueño quedaban allí
Dream after dream remained there
Crucificados en un sumidero
Crucified in a sinkhole
Uno se hizo maricón
One became a faggot
Otro se hizo marino mercante
Another became a merchant marine
Aquel cree en la revolución
He who believes in the revolution
Mientras su hermano es un traficante
While his brother is a trafficker
De calle en calle los muchachos van
From street to street the boys go
Buscando hembras para el levante
Looking for females for the Levante
Lunes tras lunes se repite igual
Monday after Monday the same thing repeats itself
A esta vida no hay quien la aguante
There is no one who can endure this life
Dicen que quieren rock and roll
They say they want rock and roll
Y algunos hasta se fuman un porro
And some even smoke a joint
Hay quien sueña con Washington
There are those who dream of Washington
Y hay quien anda con la cara de perro
And there are those who walk around with the face of a dog
En este barrio también esta el que
In this neighborhood there is also the one
Se caga en todo y hasta en Nueva York
He shits on everything and even New York
No adora el dólar y claro lo ve
He does not love the dollar and of course he sees it
Que este norte no es la solución
That this north is not the solution
Hablaban siempre de dinero
They always talked about money
Y planeaban asaltar un banco
And they were planning to rob a bank
Y al llegar otro febrero
And when another February arrives
Soñaban con fugarse en un barco
They dreamed of escaping on a boat
Quien se quedo critica al que se fue
The one who stayed criticizes the one who left
Y todo el mundo sabe lo que pasa
And everyone knows what's up
No se si yo me quedo o si me iré
I don't know if I'll stay or if I'll go
Ya me canse de mi barrio y mi casa
I'm tired of my neighborhood and my house
