Lyrics and translation Duncan Dhu - Alma Negra




Alma Negra
Black Soul
Miradas rotas callan al pasar
Broken gazes fall silent as they pass
por la avenida 3.
along 3rd Avenue.
La gente espera sin saber a qué
People wait without knowing what for
junto a cualquier pared.
next to any wall.
La ley aquí se cambia de disfraz y de color
The law here changes its disguise and color
la jungla sabe siempre distinguir quién es mejor.
the jungle always knows how to distinguish who is better.
La luz hace brillar
The light makes shine
las gafas negras.
the black glasses.
Triste vida, siempre te ha tratado mal
Sad life, it has always treated you badly
viendo el barrio tras las gafas de cristal.
seeing the neighborhood through crystal glasses.
Malas calles te ense ñaron a vivir
Bad streets taught you to live
el fracaso siempre se ha instalado aquí.
failure has always settled here.
Las radios chillan fuerte y sin cesar
The radios scream loud and incessantly
ritmos de la ciudad
rhythms of the city
la suerte vive, la podrás oler
luck lives, you can smell it
cerca de Central Park.
near Central Park.
Semilla negra dura de pelar
Black seed, hard to peel
y de cambiar
and to change
las voces nacen en la oscuridad
voices are born in the darkness
del corazón.
of the heart.
Tendrás ritmo en los pies
You will have rhythm in your feet
y el alma negra.
and a black soul.
