Lyrics and translation Charly Garcia - Filosofía Barata y Zapatos de Goma




Filosofía Barata y Zapatos de Goma
Cheap Philosophy and Rubber Shoes
Conozco a un empleado
I know an employee
Que fue muerto de pena
Who died out of sorrow
Enamorado de las sirenas.
In love with the sirens.
El cine de mi barrio
The movie theatre in my neighborhood
Ya me mostró la escena
Already showed me the scene
No vi tu alma y quería tus venas.
I didn't see your soul, and I wanted your veins.
Y en este torbellino
And in this whirlwind
Donde nada importa
Where nothing matters
Me aliado y te perdí
I made an alliance with you and lost you
Pero vi tus ojos
But I did see your eyes
Y hasta comí la arena
And I even ate the sand
Quise quedarme, pero me fui.
I wanted to stay, but I left.
Filosofía barata
Cheap philosophy
Y zapatos de goma
And rubber shoes
Ni ésta mentira te hace feliz
Not even this lie makes you happy
Quise quedarme cuando
I wanted to stay when
Morí de pena
I died of sorrow
Quise quedarme, pero me fui.
I wanted to stay, but I left.
Y en la terminal...
And at the terminal...
Y en la terminal
And at the terminal
Estoy descalzo y te espero a ti.
I'm barefoot and waiting for you.
El ómnibus se ha ido
The bus is gone
El amor se ha vencido
Love has been defeated
Quise quedarme
I wanted to stay
Pero me fui.
But I left.
Filosofía barata
Cheap philosophy
Y zapatos de goma
And rubber shoes
Quizás es todo lo que te di.
Maybe that's all I gave you.
