Lyrics and translation Leonardo de Lozanne - Turistas

Turistas

Ahí van los veo pasar en su blanca piel
Y sus zapatos cómodos.
Se van a fotografiar en el mismo lugar
Y con el mismo rollo.

Ahí van con su agua Evian, visitando el lugar
Que dicta el itinerario
Después de archivar y de olvidar
Consultan el diccionario.

Y no entienden nada del todo,
Flotan sin mirar el fondo,
Pensaba que de pronto,
Me recuerdas tanto a ellos.

Ignoramos todo lo esencial
Parecemos turistas.
Entendemos todo a la mitad
Somos como turistas.
Ahí van a curiosear lo que es made in Japan

Y los souvenires obvios,
Se van a apresurar para revelar,
Lo que no han visto en foto.

Y no entienden nada del todo,
Flotan sin mirar el fondo,
Pensaba y de pronto,
Me reflejo tanto en ellos.

Ignoramos todo lo esencial
Parecemos turistas.
Entendemos todo a la mitad
Somos como turistas.

Instalados en el mas allá, mas que acá
Extranjeros que venimos a explorar la
Gran ciudad

Ignoramos todo lo esencial
Parecemos turistas.
Entendemos todo a la mitad
Somos como turistas x2

Somos como turistas x3

Tourists

Here they go, I can see them pass by with their white skin
And their comfy shoes.
They're off to take pictures at the same old spot,
And with the same old roll of film.

There they go, with their Evian water, touring the place
That the guidebook dictates.
After they file away their memories and forget,
They consult their dictionaries.

And they don't understand a thing at all,
They're floating along without a thought,
I thought all of a sudden,
You remind me so much of them.

We ignore all that's essential,
We seem like tourists.
We understand only half of it all,
We're just like tourists.
There they go, gazing in wonder at what's made in Japan,

And the obvious souvenirs.
They'll rush to have their pictures developed,
Of what they haven't seen in person.

And they don't understand a thing at all,
They're floating along without a thought,
I thought to myself, all of a sudden,
I see so much of myself in them.

We ignore all that's essential,
We seem like tourists.
We understand only half of it all,
We're just like tourists.

We're fixated on the hereafter, rather than the here and now,
Foreigners who've come to explore this
Great city.

We ignore all that's essential,
We seem like tourists.
We understand only half of it all,
We're just like tourists. (x2)

We're just like tourists. (x3)
