Lyrics and translation Mecano - Madrid




Madrid
Madrid
A unos les toca en Gambia
Some have to live in Gambia
Y a otros en Pekin, oh
And others in Beijing, whoa
Y a mi me tocó nacer
I was born
En Madrid, en Madrid.
In Madrid, in Madrid.
Y no es un trauma
It's not a trauma
Ni un orgullo para mi, eh
Nor a source of pride for me, huh
¿Por qué no me dejaron elegir?
Why couldn't I choose?
¡Oh, Madrid!
Oh, Madrid!
Una ciudad de alquitran
A city of tar
Hierro, cemento y cristal.
Iron, cement and glass.
En Madrid
In Madrid
Caen sombras largas
Long shadows are cast
De edificios sobre mi, oh
From buildings above, whoa
Bajo mis pies siento crecer Madrid
Beneath my feet I feel Madrid grow
¡Oh, Madrid!
Oh, Madrid!
Se ha hecho tan grande
It's become so big
Y tan pequeño para mi, eh
And so small for me, huh
Que sólo hay sitio
That there's only room
Para ir y venir por Madrid.
To come and go in Madrid.
Y no sobreviviras
And you won't survive
Si no funcionas a gas.
If you don't run on gas.
En Madrid...
In Madrid...
Alguna gente no lo puede soportar
Some people can't stand it
Yo ya sin humo no respirar, respirar.
Without smoke I can't breathe, breathe.
Alguna gente
Some people
Alguna gente
Some people
Alguna gente
Some people
No lo puede soportar, oh
Can't stand it, whoa
Yo ya sin humo no respirar en Madrid.
Without smoke I can't breathe in Madrid.
A unos les toca en Gambia
Some have to live in Gambia
Y a otros en Pekin, oh
And others in Beijing, whoa
Y a mi me toca nacer
And I was meant to be born
En Madrid, en Madrid.
In Madrid, in Madrid.
A unos les toca en Gambia...
Some have to live in Gambia...
