Lyrics and translation Nacha Guevara - Yira Yira

Yira Yira

Cuando la suerte que es grela
Fayando y fayando
Te largue parao
Cuando estés bien en la vía
Sin rumbo y desesperao
Cuando no tengas ni fe
Ni yerba de ayer
Secándose al sol
Cuando rajes los tamangos
Buscando ese mango
Que te haga morfar
La indiferencia del mundo
Que es sordo y es mudo
Recién sentirás

Verás que todo es mentira
Verás que nada es amor
Que al mundo nada le importa
Yira, yira
Aunque te quiebre la vida
Aunque te muerda un dolor
No esperes nunca un ayuda
Ni una mano
Ni un favor

Cuando estén secas las pilas
De todos los timbres
Que vos apretás
Buscando un pecho fraterno
Para morir abrazao
Cuando te dejen tirao
Después de cinchar
Lo mismo que a mi
Cuando manyés que a tu lao
Se prueban la ropa que vas a dejar
Te acordarás de esta otaria
Que un día cansada
Se puso a ladrar

Yira Yira

When luck, which is oppressive
Failing and failing
Leaves you stranded
When you're on the right track
Aimless and desperate
When you have neither faith
Nor yesterday's herb
Drying in the sun
When you tear your shoes apart
Looking for that penny
That will make you eat
The indifference of the world
Which is deaf and dumb
Only then will you feel

You'll see that everything is a lie
You'll see that nothing is love
That the world doesn't care about anything
Yira, yira
Although life may break you
Although pain may bite you
Don't ever expect help
Or a hand
Or a favor

When the batteries are dead
Of all the doorbells
That you press
Looking for a friendly chest
To die in its embrace
When you are abandoned
After having worked hard
Just like me
When you realize that by your side
They are trying on the clothes you are going to leave behind
You will remember this sea lion
Who one day, tired
Started to bark
