El Rocanrol de Los Idiotas

I didn't feel like laughing
You laughed so you wouldn't cry
I winked at my nose
You consoled your loneliness

I have no broom to sell
You with a thousand and one nights to forget
A woman didn't love me
A city was dying for you

You had missed the last bus
I had been kicked out of another bar
The same voodoo pins
The same story that ends badly

But heaven wanted it
Baptize the soil
With its drop by drop
And with sand shampoo
For your hair
Broken wrist
And your blue gaze
He told me to toss a coin
And my gambler's soul
He put it at double or nothing

And the goldfish on my boots
And your withered high heels
Crazy about sinking
They went out to dance
To the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
Rock and roll of idiots

I didn't come from any country
You were on your way to anywhere
The future didn't count on me
The verb to love did not remember you
I didn't play to avoid losing
You cheated to avoid winning
I didn't pray so as not to believe
You didn't kiss so as not to dream

And without vaudeville equivocations
No red alerts in the heart
The God of the storm wanted to open
The box of thunder and thundered
Because heaven wanted it
Caress the ground
With its drop by drop
And with sand shampoo
For your hair
Broken wrist

What nonsense
Chess game
With a partner
Addicted to checkmate

And your bag like a seagull's nest
And my future with stale bread in the drawer
Crazy about sinking
They went out to dance
To the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
Rock and roll of idiots

Weathering the storm
They went out to dance
Like two madmen under the downpour of notes
From the rock and roll of idiots

Rock and roll
Rock and roll of idiots
Like you and like me
Rock and roll of idiots

The street was marked
With that detail
Of leaving us alone
Rock and roll of idiots

And by chance
He started playing
Bartolo's flute
Rock and roll of idiots

Go Johnny go, go, go
Rock and roll of idiots
All you need is love
And dance
Rock and roll of idiots

A vam ba baluba balam bam bu
Tutti frutti
Rock and roll of idiots
Don't worry
Rock and roll of idiots
