Текст и перевод песни Alejandro Balbis - Cantores callejeros

Cantores callejeros

Que diría el viento si lo viera
Lleva los cordones desatados
Una abrigo viejo sin abotonar
Una camiseta y nada queda detrás
Que importara...
Si a los que pasan y miran lo mismo les da

Años esperando el colectivo
La vida lo planta en la parada
Hiere la partida, duele madurar
Limpia mis heridas cuando vuelva a cantar
Y a dibujar, una sonrisa
En el rostro de su realidad

Si te borras... no te olvides
De todo lo que dejas
Aguanta un poco mas...
Yo te pido solo una oportunidad

Pareciera decirle con vos
De aerosol la ciudad
A contramano divina y brutal
Jardín de luces para enamorar
Ta' loco aquel que quiera olvidar
El corazón de los cantores callejeros
Que son, faros de amor
En la marea locura del mundo de hoy

Como reyes empequeñecidos
Ciegos transeúntes apurados
Suenan acordeones en la peatonal
El destino muestra su careta de azar
Ese lugar, un laberinto perdido por desentrañar

Si te quedas... no me pidas una vida
Muy audaz
Se nos va a complicar... los vecinos
Viven para controlar

Pareciera decirle con un lagrimón
La ciudad
A contramano divina y brutal
Jardín de luces para enamorar
Ta' loco aquel que quiera olvidar
Esta ciudad indiferente que te invita
A escapar o a regresar
Línea rebelde nacida de espaldas al mar

Street Singers

What would the wind say if it saw me?
My shoelaces are untied.
An old coat unbuttoned.
A T-shirt and nothing else behind it.
What does it matter?
To those who pass by and look, it's all the same.

Years of waiting for the bus.
Life has left me at the stop.
Leaving hurts, growing up is painful.
It heals my wounds when I sing again.
And paint a smile
On the face of my reality.

If you fade away... don't forget
About all that you leave behind.
Hold on a little longer...
I ask you for just one chance.

It's like the city is talking to me
In graffiti.
Divinely and brutally twisted.
A garden of lights to make you fall in love.
Foolish is he who wants to forget
The heart of the street singers,
Who are beacons of love
In the crazy tide of today's world.

Like dwarfed kings,
Blind pedestrians in a hurry.
Accordions playing on the pedestrian street.
Fate shows its capricious face.
That place, a maze to be unraveled.

If you stay... don't ask me for a life
That's too bold.
It's going to be complicated... the neighbors
Live to control.

It's like the city is talking to me
With a tear in its eye.
Divinely and brutally twisted.
A garden of lights to make you fall in love.
Foolish is he who wants to forget
This indifferent city that invites you
To escape or to return.
A rebellious line born with its back to the sea.
