Buenos Aires
Se hace tarde para ver
A la noche amanecer
Una vida y un cristal
Prima la fragilidad
Solo el frío y la humedad
Ni el pasado queda atrás igual
Quién se atreve a cuestionar
La contradicción formal, estructural
Buenos Aires, se levanta fantasmal
Te mira desde atrás
Es violenta, en su forma más leal
De gris urbanidad
Y yo que pensé no volver a sentir
Y hoy con mi pecho cargo un ardor
Como un tango tenue que roe y que raspa
Que exista, se sabe, me alcanza por hoy
me alcanza por hoy, yo cargo el ardor
Que no alcanza hoy
Buenos Aires, rie y canta, sin dudar
Violencia y suavidad
Te cautiva, te angustia y quiere más
No alcanza a ser real
Y la ves
Una vez, otra vez y otra vez.
Se hace tarde para ver
El futuro acaecer
Nadie piensa en asistir
A la cita de existir... y ella está
Buenos Aires, nunca oculta nada
Excepto la verdad
Muestra el sino y a su fina y singular
Manera de insultar
Se hacer tarde para ver
La noche resplandecer
Se hace tarde para ver
Buenos Aires otra vez
Buenos Aires
(Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina)
It's becoming late to watch
Night turn into day
One life and one cristal
Fragility takes precedence
Only cold and humidity
Not even the past is left behind
Who dares to question
The formal, structural, contradiction?
Buenos Aires wakes up ghostly
Looks at you from behind
It is violent, in its more loyal form
Of grey urbanity
And I thought I'd never feel again
And today with my chest I carry a burning
Like a dim tango that gnaws and scratches
That it exists, it's know, it's enough for today.
It's enough for today, I carry the burning
That is not enough today
Buenos Aires, laughs and sings, with no doubts
Violence and gentleness
It captivates you, distresses you and wants more
It's enought to be real
And you see it
Once, twice and one more time
It's becoming late too see
Future take place
Nobody thinks to assist
To the date of existing... and it is there
Buenos Aires, never hides a thing
Except the truth
Shows the fate and it's elegant and singular
Way to insult
It's becoming late too see
The night shine
It's becoming late too see
Buenos Aires once again
Buenos Aires otra vez
