Текст и перевод песни Viejas Locas - Homero

Homero

Cuando sale del trabajo, Homero viene pensando
Que al bajar del colectivo, esquivará unos autos
Cruzará la avenida, se meterá en el barrio
Pasará dando saludos y monedas a unos vagos

Y dobla en el primer pasillo y ve que va llegando
Y un ascensor angosto lo lleva a la puerta del rancho
Dice estar muy cansado y encima hoy no pagaron
Imposible bajarse de esta rutina y se pregunta, "¿Hasta cuándo?"

Se hace difícil siendo obrero hacerte cargo del pan
De tu esposa, tus hijos, del alquiler y algo más
Y poco disfruta sus días pensando en cómo hará
Si en ese empleo no pagan y cada vez le piden más

Que injusticia que no se valore, eficacia y responsabilidad
Porque él hoy se mató pensando y es lo mismo que uno más (oh-oh)
Homero está cansado, come y se quiere acostar
Vuelve a amanecer, y entre diario y mates se pregunta, "¿Cuánto más?"

Homero está cansado, come y se quiere acostar
Vuelve a amanecer, y entre diario y mates se pregunta, "¿Cuánto más?"

Y es así, la vida de un obrero es así
La vida en un barrio es así y pocos son los que van a zafar, ay
Y es así, aprendemos a ser felices así
La vida del obrero es así y pocos son los que van a zafar (oh-oh)

Homer

When leaving work, Homer ponders and reflects
As he gets off the bus, he'll dodge cars effectively
He'll cross the avenue, enter the neighborhood with glee
He'll pass by giving greetings and some coins to some vagrants, you see

And he turns at the first alleyway and he is so close
And a narrow elevator takes him to the door of his humble home
He says he's very tired, and on top of that they didn't pay today
Impossible to get off this routine and he wonders, "Until when?"

It's hard being a worker, providing bread
For your wife, your children, the rent, and something more
And he barely enjoys his days thinking about how he'll make it
If they don't pay at that job and they keep asking for more

How unfair that efficiency and responsibility are not valued
Because he worked hard today and it's the same as anyone else (oh-oh)
Homer is tired, he wants to eat and go to bed
Another day breaks, and between the newspaper and coffee he wonders, "How much more?"

Homer is tired, he wants to eat and go to bed
Another day breaks, and between the newspaper and coffee he wonders, "How much more?"

And that's how it is, the life of a worker is like this
Life in a neighborhood is like this, and few are the ones who will escape, oh
And that's how it is, we learn to be happy like this
The life of a worker is like this, and few are the ones who will escape (oh-oh)
