El patio de atrás
Don Lunfardo Y El Señor Otario
The Backyard
The neighbor upstairs expanded his balcony
once again got excited, and is playing at being Columbus.
With his fist all torn up
from knocking on doors that won't open,
"welcome to America".
The past hits this world today
where everything is a big wall.
Drugs, soccer, and rock 'n' roll.
The present undresses yesterday's future,
the tomorrow that left
dying before being born.
Buckle up your belt,
the worst is yet to come.
Prescribe me medication.
America, prisoners of their reality. (Give me more)
America, tenants of the backyard. (Give me more)
America, condemned to their freedom.
Don't raise your hand or raise your voice
'cause uncle is right,
damn civilization.
If the voice of the people is the voice of God
and the Lord is silent,
did heaven mute him?.
Buckle up your belt,
the worst is yet to come.
Prescribe me medication.
America, prisoners of their reality. (Give me more)
America, tenants of the backyard. (Give me more)
America, condemned to their freedom.
I didn't kill them, I didn't kill them, I didn't see them born either.
I didn't kill them, I didn't kill them, I didn't see them born either.
The past hits this world today
where everything is a big wall.
