Arde La Ciudad Lyrics in English Mancha De Rolando

Imagine a night in Buenos Aires: flares light up the stadium, drums thunder, and the crowd roars as their team wins again. “Arde la ciudad” captures that electric celebration, painting scenes of fireworks, banners, and endless chants from la hinchada (the die-hard fans). On the surface it is a party where “the city burns” with passion and color.

But Mancha de Rolando adds a bittersweet twist. While everyone else laughs and celebrates, the narrator feels a heavy rain inside his “mirada gris”: he is mourning someone who is gone, a personal estrella carried away by the morning light. The song contrasts the unstoppable carnival of life with private heartbreak, reminding us that the world keeps cheering even when our own heart sits in the shadows. Wherever he looks, the memory of that person lingers, making sleep impossible amid the fireworks. “Arde La Ciudad” is both a rock anthem for the terraces and a poetic snapshot of how joy and sorrow can collide in the same night sky.
