Translation

Soy de la ciudad con todo lo que ves

I'm from the city with everything you see

Con su ruido, con su gente, consume vejez

With its noise, with its people, it consumes old age

Y no puedo evitar, el humo que entra hoy

And I can't avoid the smoke that enters today

Pero igual sigo creciendo, soy otro carbón

But still, I keep growing; I'm another piece of coal

No voy a imaginar, la pena en los demás

I won't imagine the sorrow in others

Compro aire y si es puro, pago mucho más

I buy air, and if it's pure, I pay much more

No voy a tolerar, que ya no tengan fe

I won't tolerate that they no longer have faith

Que se bajen los brazos, que no haya lucidez

That they lower their arms, that there is no lucidity


Me voy, volando por ahí

I'm leaving, flying around

Y estoy, convencido de ir

And I'm convinced to go

Me voy, silbando y sin rencor

I'm leaving, whistling and without resentment

Y estoy, zafando del olor

And I'm escaping from the smell


Me encontré con la gente, que sabe valorar

I met people who know how to appreciate

Que de turista en la capital, han sabido vagar

Who, as tourists in the capital, have known how to wander

Y no ha encarado al fin la cruda realidad

And they haven't faced the harsh reality

De respirar hollín, de llorar alquitrán

Of breathing soot, of crying tar

Y empiezo a envejecer, sudando mi verdad

And I start to age, sweating my truth

Criado pa' toser, con mucha variedad

Raised to cough, with a lot of variety

Y adonde ira parar, cargando con mi olor

And where will it end, carrying my smell

Deberíamos andar desnudos pa' sentirnos mejor

We should walk naked to feel better


Me voy, volando por ahí

I'm leaving, flying around

Y estoy, convencido de ir

And I'm convinced to go

Me voy, silbando y sin rencor

I'm leaving, whistling and without resentment

Y estoy, zafando del olor (epa)

And I'm escaping from the smell (hey)


Soy de la ciudad con todo lo que ves

I'm from the city with everything you see

Con su ruido, con su gente, consume vejez

With its noise, with its people, it consumes old age

Y no puedo evitar, el humo que entra hoy

And I can't avoid the smoke that enters today

Pero igual sigo creciendo, soy otro carbón

But still, I keep growing; I'm another piece of coal

No voy a imaginar, la pena en los demás

I won't imagine the sorrow in others

Compro aire y si es puro, pago mucho más

I buy air, and if it's pure, I pay much more

No voy a tolerar, que ya no tengan fe

I won't tolerate that they no longer have faith

Que se bajen los brazos, que no haya lucidez

That they lower their arms, that there is no lucidity


Me voy, volando por ahí

I'm leaving, flying around

Y estoy, convencido de ir

And I'm convinced to go

Me voy, silbando y sin rencor

I'm leaving, whistling and without resentment

Y estoy, zafando del olor

And I'm escaping from the smell


Me voy, volando por ahí

I'm leaving, flying around

Y estoy, convencido de ir

And I'm convinced to go

Me voy, silbando y sin rencor

I'm leaving, whistling and without resentment

Y estoy, zafando del olor

And I'm escaping from the smell
