Me Contaron Que Bajo El Asfalto
Sandra Mihanovich
Lyrics
Translation
Me contaron que bajo el asfalto
I was told that beneath the asphalt
Existe un mundo distinto
There exists a different world
Con gente que nunca vio el sol
With people who never saw the sun
Y no conoce los ruidos.
And is unfamiliar with the noises.
Que hay un pibe complemente negro
That there's a completely black kid
Que se la pasa pintando
Who spends his time painting
Y no conoce los colores
And is unfamiliar with the colors
Pinta azules inventados.
He paints invented blues.
En la esquina de mi casa
On the corner of my house
Brota un río de tinta
A river of ink springs forth
Con gente igual a la gente
With people just like people
Pero un poco distinta.
But a little different.
Tienen un rey celeste
They have a celestial king
Que en el fondo a nadie asusta
Who in the end doesn't frighten anyone
No puede mandar a nadie
He can't command anyone
Sólo es rey porque le gusta.
He's only a king because he likes it.
Me contaron que bajo el asfalto
I was told that beneath the asphalt
Existe un mundo distinto
There exists a different world
Con gente que nunca vio el sol
With people who never saw the sun
Y no conoce los ruidos...
And is unfamiliar with the noises...
