Los Chikos del Maiz - Barrionalistas - перевод текста песни на английский

Tan solo son rutinas

It's just routines,

Vidas cruzadas en este mundo en ruinas

Lives intertwined in this world of ruins.

Lleno de gestos, de miradas vecinas, vecinos

Full of gestures, of familiar glances, neighbors,

La caña del domingo y Josefina dejándose la pensión al bingo

El hijo del madero es un perdido (Ah)

The cop's son is a lost soul (Ah),

50 kilos, tez amarillenta

Y se ha comprometido con la hija del tendero

Y la lleva en moto a casa, el gramo a cincuenta

Hay miradas hambrientas, el yonqui de los Ochenta

El gorrilla, el tonto del runner, la dependienta

Recientemente despedida

Recently fired,

Un jefe ingrato, no tenía contrato

Nada de sindicatos en la tienda de zapatos

No unions in the shoe store,

El vendedor de cupones, la loca de los gatos

The lottery ticket seller, the crazy cat lady,

Los ojos como platos, la realidad agobia

Eyes wide open, reality overwhelms,

Y el moderno del barrio va de aliado y le pega a la novia

And the neighborhood hipster pretends to be an ally but hits his girlfriend.

Fluctúan las historias

Y así, sin darnos cuenta, la vida pasa

And so, without realizing it, life goes by.

Y el chico del taller es gay y no lo ha dicho en casa

Con sus manos llenas de grasa, oculta su pluma

"Yo no quiero un sarasa", grita su padre echando espuma

"I don't want a faggot", his father shouts, foaming at the mouth.

"La culpa es de tu madre, esa dejada"

"It's your mother's fault, that neglectful woman",

Luego se va de putas y lo cuenta en el bar entre risotadas

Es "El cuento de la criada"

Solo nos queda la protesta

All we have left is protest,

Vidas desperdiciadas, demasiadas

Wasted lives, too many,

Porque la realidad social no es como la ves en La Sexta

A veces lo amas y otras lo detestas

Vamos a pegarle fuego a la casa de apuestas

No vengas a hacer turismo

Don't come to do tourism,

Lárgate con tu puto paternalismo

Let me catch you, carry you to shore

Wrap you in the towels, give you some more

Similar to the sunroof as for more

Love the way that cloudy has gone

El barrio donde naces marca tu futuro

The neighborhood where you are born marks your future,

Ser carne de cañón o vivir sin miedos, sin apuros

To be cannon fodder or to live without fear, without worries.

Unos saltando muros, otros puertas abiertas

Some jumping walls, others with open doors,

Pero, si fracasas te dirán que no te esfuerzas

Así niegan el conflicto, compa'

Pero, tu bolsillo y tu realidad son otras

Están el casas de apuestas, la nueva heroína

Y la vecina con gafas de sol

Ocultando su vergüenza y su terror

Hiding her shame and her terror,

El mismo que escuchabas con gritos desde el balcón

Y siempre evitabas subiendo el televisor

Pero, al final, otra vida se apaga

But in the end, another life fades away,

Y entre los vecinos ahora agacháis la mirada

And among the neighbors now you lower your gaze.

Pero, ante los medios nadie sospechaba

"Parecían felices", dice, "siempre saludaban"

Que todos somos muy tolerantes

Para que no comparta plaza con los inmigrantes

Que prioriza al individuo sobre el colectivo

Que nos prepara para ser una mísera parte

De sus negocios, de su cadena de montaje
