Lyrics
Español
De chiquilín te miraba de afuera como a esas cosas que nunca se alcanzan... La ñata contra el vidrio, en un azul de frío, que sólo fue después viviendo igual al mío... Como una escuela de todas las cosas, ya de muchacho me diste entre asombros: el cigarrillo, la fe en mis sueños y una esperanza de amor. Cómo olvidarte en esta queja, cafetín de Buenos Aires, si sos lo único en la vida que se pareció a mi vieja... En tu mezcla milagrosa de sabihondos y suicidas, yo aprendí filosofía... dados... timba... y la poesía cruel de no pensar más en mí. Me diste en oro un puñado de amigos, que son los mismos que alientan mis horas: (José, el de la quimera... Marcial, que aún cree y espera... y el flaco Abel que se nos fue pero aún me guía....). Sobre tus mesas que nunca preguntan lloré una tarde el primer desengaño, nací a las penas, bebí mis años y me entregué sin luchar.
English · machine translation
When I was a little boy I looked at you from the outside like those things that you never reach... The leg against the glass, in a cold blue, that was only later living the same as mine... Like a school of all things, already as a boy you gave me among astonishments: the cigarette, faith in my dreams and a hope of love. How to forget you in this complaint, coffee shop of Buenos Aires, if you are the only thing in life that resembled my old lady... In your miraculous mixture of know-it-alls and suicides, I learned philosophy... dice... timba... and the cruel poetry of not thinking about me anymore. You gave me, in gold, a handful of friends.., who are the same ones that encourage my hours: (José, the one of the chimera.... Marcial, who still believes and hopes? and the skinny Abel who left us but still guides me ....). On your tables that never ask questions I cried one afternoon the first disappointment, I was born to sorrows, I drank my years and gave myself up without a fight.
