Rita ya desde pequeña
Rita already since she was little
Quiso ser cantante como su mamá
He wanted to be a singer like his mom
Fede cose marionetas
Fede sews puppets
Sueña con historias que quiere mostrar
Dream of stories you want to show
Lía ama la poesía pasa todo el día escribiendo sin parar
Laia loves poetry spends all day writing non-stop
Óscar busca personajes para interpretar
Oscar searches for characters to play
Y no tenían para vivir
And they didn't have to live
Y tuvieron que partir
And they had to leave
Lejos de aquí, de aquí
Away from here, from here
Poooor, por, por, porque en su país
Poooor, by, by, because in your country
Quieren seres tristes incapaces
They want sad beings unable
De bailar y reír, pensar y sentir
Dancing and laughing, thinking and feeling
Nadie encuentra ya locales
No one finds any locals anymore
No hay facilidades ni cachés para crear
There are no facilities or caches to create
Si actúan en la calle, si piensan muy alto
If you act on the street, if you think too high
Hasta les pueden multar
They can even be fined
Se reparten beneficios los intermediarios
Benefits are shared by intermediaries
Un mal iva cultural
A bad cultural iva
Siempre son las mismas caras
They're always the same faces
Las que en las pantallas aparecerán
The ones that will appear on the screens
Pero allá sí que canta rita
But there she does sing rita
Y de tela no de piel y hueso son las marionetas
And non-skin and bone fabric are the puppets
Y la vida es un teatro callejero
And life is a street theater
Que se extiende a cada esquina a cada empleo
Extending to every corner to every job
Cada vez más creativos son cada vez más productivos
More and more creatives are becoming more productive
Y hay escritos versos de poetas en las servilletas
And there are written verses of poets on napkins
Y los bares cierran tarde, esculturas son las piedras
And the bars close late, sculptures are the stones
Y los niños juegan como que imaginan sus cabezas
And children play like they imagine their heads
Porque el arte es pura máquina y del alma se alimenta
Because art is pure machine and the soul feeds
Y no tenían para vivir
And they didn't have to live
Y tuvieron partir
And they had to leave
Lejos de aquí, de aquí
Away from here, from here
Por, por por, porque en mi país
By, by, because in my country
Quieren seres tristes incapaces
They want sad beings unable
De bailar y reír, pensar y sentir
