Filosofía barata y zapatos de goma [English translation]

I know of an employee who died of sorrow

in love with mermaids.

The cinema of my neighborhood already showed me the scene

I didn't see your soul and I wanted your veins.

And in that whirlwind where nothing matters

I felt lonely and I lost you

but I did saw your eyes and I even ate sand

I meant to stay but I left.

Cheap philosophy and rubber shoes

not even that lie makes you happy

I meant to stay when I died of sorrow

I meant to stay but I left.

And in the bus terminal, and in the bus terminal

I'm barefoot and I wait for you.

The bus is gone, love has expired

I meant to stay but I left.

Cheap philosophy and rubber shoes

maybe that's all I gave you.
