Mi ciudad [English translation]

I miss my city

The lights of my city

Their shine, their glow

I can't forget

the lights of my city

I miss that glow

That makes my city

shine more than the sun

San Francisco is so pretty

but I miss the Obelisco

My city

I'm going to my city

The lights of my city

Are calling me

I know that Florencia is beautiful

when the stars come out

but I want to see the sky

of the Pompeya nights

My city

The lights of my city

Their shine, their glow

and that dampness

I miss my city

The crazies of my city

Who see the moon rolling by Callao

There are pretty bridges in Paris

but it isn't Corrientes street

My city

I'm going to my city

The lights of my city

Are calling me

How good smell the jazmines

under the Andalusian sun

but I miss the smell

in our pizzerias

My city

The river of my city

Its shine, its glow

its filth

I miss my city

The people of my city

Who never go to sleep

to dream

The sundays at the Rastro

aren't like at the Abasto

My city

I'm going to my city

The lights of my city

Are calling me

Their shiny signs

and those beautiful men

Enough with the fifth avenue

take me to Florida street for a walk

Before its too late

I want to be in Buenos Aires

wait for me, I'm going there

I want to be in my city
