These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
La cabecita despierta, orgullo de su mamá
The little head wakes up, pride of her mother
El niño creció en su casa, de adolescente quiere asomar
The boy grew up in his house, as a teenager he wants to show up
Resbalando las veredas, el barrio lo encandiló
Slipping the sidewalks, the neighborhood dazzled him
Dando vueltas las esquinas tocó placeres, tocó dolor
Going around the corners he touched pleasures, he touched pain
Se enamoró de la vida, todos los días, todas las noches
She fell in love with life, every day, every night
Desayuno con las damas, la cena se la salteó
Breakfast with the ladies, he skipped dinner
Va caminando sin rumbo, lleva la calma del vagabundo
He is walking aimlessly, he carries the calm of the vagabond
Pero dejando la vida, donde mande la ocasión
But leaving life, where the occasion dictates
Viejo divino ¿dónde vas?
Old divine where are you going?
Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrás
I know very well that you don't want to look back
Final amargo, solo queda hoy un perro flaco
Bitter end, only a skinny dog remains today
Y el fondo de un vino pa' entibiar
And the bottom of a wine to warm
Después de las juventudes, cansado de tropezar
After the youth, tired of stumbling
Se busca una buena esposa y 14 horas pa' trabajar
Looking for a good wife and 14 hours to work
Pero algunos pajaritos, no se pueden encerrar
But some little birds cannot be locked up
Se les va penando el alma, de pronto ya no quieren cantar
Their souls are suffering, suddenly they no longer want to sing
Se desparramó la foto después de entrado hasta los 40
The photo was scattered after entering until the 40
Y casi sin darse cuenta, alcohólico se volvió
And almost without realizing it, alcoholic became
Y fue bajando escalones muchos inviernos a la deriva
And he went down the steps many winters adrift
Las vueltas que da la vida, en la calle terminó
The turns that life gives ended on the street
Viejo divino ¿dónde vas?
Old divine where are you going?
Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrás
I know very well that you don't want to look back
Final amargo, solo queda hoy un perro flaco
Bitter end, only a skinny dog remains today
Y el fondo de un vino pa' entibiar
And the bottom of a wine to warm
Viejo divino ¿dónde vas?
Old divine where are you going?
Yo sé muy bien que no podes mirar atrás
I know very well that you cannot look back
Final amargo, solo queda hoy un perro flaco
Bitter end, only a skinny dog remains today
Y el fondo de un vino pa' entibiar
And the bottom of a wine to warm
Y el fondo de un vino pa' entibiar, un perro flaco
And the bottom of a wine to warm up, a skinny dog
Y el fondo de un vino pa' entibiar
And the bottom of a wine to warm
