Esta ciudad está gris, yo con un arcoíris en mi botella
This city is gray, me with a rainbow in my bottle
Pantallas en el cielo, se cayeron las estrellas
Screens in the sky, the stars fell
La muerte en cada esquina, es que se sabe la más bella
Death in every corner is known to be the most beautiful
Porque tarde o temprano todos bailarán con ella
Because sooner or later everyone will dance with her
Tengo que lucir mis pasos, no me puedo ir pa' atrás
I have to show off my steps, I can't go back
Con mi vaso rebalsando resistencia tenaz
With my glass overflowing tenacious resistance
Atados a este caos que no entiende nadie más
Tied to this chaos that no one else understands
Vos ya tendrás en claro con qué fuego te quemás
You will already be clear with what fire you burn yourself with
Será melancolía
It will be melancholy
De una vida sin receta
Of a life without a prescription
Que solo encuentra respuesta
That only finds an answer
Cuando se va la luz del día
When the daylight goes
Será melancolía
It will be melancholy
De una vida sin receta
Of a life without a prescription
Que solo encuentra respuesta
That only finds an answer
Cuando se va la luz del día
When the daylight goes
No hay bueno ni malo cuando cae la noche
There is no good or bad when night falls
Color azabache arranca el zafarrancho
Jet color starts the riot
Todos dejamos algo en este cambalache
We all leave something in this exchange
Y acá gana el que le enganche la cola a su diablo
And here the one who hooks his tail to his devil wins
Se arranca la farra, la del tinto en jarra
The party starts, the red wine in a jug
Los labios violeta, como Parra
Violet lips, like Parra
El destino es mío, ningún ser divino me lo narra
The destiny is mine, no divine being tells it to me
Escuchá tus tripas, que son unas tipas sabias
Listen to your guts, they are wise girls
La cobardía, antagonía de mi gente
The cowardice, antagonism of my people
Se la mata a pura lunería un día viernes
He kills her out of sheer lust on a Friday
Haciendo hechicería pa' espantar pájaros verdes
Doing sorcery to scare away green birds
Con la alegría de saber que los míos son para siempre
With the joy of knowing that mine are forever
Al parecer seremo' esclavos del placer
Apparently we will be slaves of pleasure
¿Cómo se atreven a decirte qué tenés que hacer?
How dare they tell you what to do?
Los barrios hacinados, pa, no cabe un alfiler
The overcrowded neighborhoods, pa, there's no room for a pin
Hace tiempo nuestros sueños tienen precio de alquiler
For a long time our dreams have had a rental price
Será melancolía
It will be melancholy
De una vida sin receta
Of a life without a prescription
Que solo encuentra respuesta
That only finds an answer
Cuando se va la luz del día
When the daylight goes
Será melancolía
It will be melancholy
De una vida sin receta
Of a life without a prescription
Que solo encuentra respuesta
That only finds an answer
Cuando se va la luz del día
When the daylight goes
Cuando sientas que el olvido ya colmó tus venas
When you feel that oblivion has already filled your veins
Y la vida marche gris, amarga o desabrida
And life goes gray, bitter or tasteless
Recordá esa mano amiga que sirve de abrigo
Remember that friendly hand that serves as a shelter
Alejándote del frío al que invita la pena
Getting away from the cold that sorrow invites
Con la serenidad del 'Todo pasas
With the serenity of 'Everything passes'
Y bajo la luz veraniega de una luna sepulcral
And under the summer light of a sepulchral moon
Te encontrarás con aquellos que, ya al verlos, son tu casa
You will meet those who, once you see them, are your home
Y te harán olvidar el miedo a la pesada soledad
And they will make you forget the fear of heavy loneliness
Será melancolía
It will be melancholy
De una vida sin receta
Of a life without a prescription
Que solo encuentra respuesta
That only finds an answer
Cuando se va la luz del día
When the daylight goes
Será melancolía
It will be melancholy
De una vida sin receta
Of a life without a prescription
Que solo encuentra respuesta
That only finds an answer
Cuando se va la luz del día
When the daylight goes
