Al lado del camino [English translation]

I like to be by the side of the road

Inhaling smoke as everything passed by

I like to open my eyes and be alive

Having to face the hangover

Then, navigating becomes necessary

In boat which dash against the nothingness

Living with a tormented sense

I believe this is the heaviest part

In times where nobody listens to nobody

In time where everyone is against everyone

In selfish and petty times

In times where we are always alone

We will have to declare ourselves incompetent

In all the market's matters

I’ll have to declare myself innocent

Or perhaps be wrecked and soulless

I don’t belong to any isthmus

I consider myself alive and buried.

I place the songs inside your Walkman

Time placed me somewherels

I’ll have to do what isn’t needed

I’ll have to do good and harm

Don’t forget pardon is divine

And err is often time human

Is never good to make enemies

Not up for the conflict

Who think they make a war

And piss on themselves like children

Hovering sinister ministries

Playing the parody of the artist

That everything shining in this world

Just makes them jealous and angry

I was a delighted and sad kid

Of Beattles, caña legui* and marvels

The books, the songs,and the pianos

The cinema, treasons, the enigmas

My dad, the beer, pills, the mysteries, bad

whiskey

The oleos, love, the stages

Hunger, cold, crime, and my ten aunts

Made of me a rude man

If by chance you cross me in the streets

Give me your kiss and don’t grieve

If you see I think of something else

Is nothing bad, it’s just a breeze

The breeze of death in love

Hovering like an assassin angel

But don’t get scared, it always goes away

Is just my destiny’s intuition

I like to be by the side o the road

Inhaling the smoke while everything goes by

I like to come back from the forgotten

To remember myself in dreams from my home

Of the kid who played ball**

Of 49585***

Nobody promised a garden of roses

We talk about the danger of being alive

I didn’t come to entertain your family

While the world crumbles into pieces

I like to be by the side of the road

I like to feel you by my side

I like to be by the side of the road

Sleep every night between my arms

By the side of the road

By the side of the road

By the side of the road

Is more entertaining and cheaper

By the side of the road

By the side of the road

By the side of the road
