En Este Barrio
Baglietto-Vitale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

EN ESTE BARRIO

Hablaban siempre de dinero
Y planeaban asaltar un banco
Y al llegar otro febrero
Soñaban con fugarse en un barco
Y año tras año se han ido yendo así
Creyendo que la vida era un velero
Sueño tras sueño quedaban allí
Crucificados en un sumidero.

Uno se hizo maricón
Otro se hizo marino mercante
Aquel cree en la revolución
Mientras su hermano es un traficante
De calle en calle los muchachos van
Buscando hembras para el levante
Lunes tras lunes se repite igual
A esta vida no hay quien la aguante.

Dicen que quieren rock and roll
Y algunos hasta se fuman un porro
Hay quien sueña con Washington
Y hay quien anda con la cara de perro
En este barrio también esta el que
Se caga en todo y hasta en Nueva York
No adora el dólar y claro lo ve
Que este norte no es la solución.

Hablaban siempre de dinero
Y planeaban asaltar un banco
Y al llegar otro febrero
Soñaban con fugarse en un barco.

Quien se quedo critica al que se fue
Y todo el mundo sabe lo que pasa




No se si yo me quedo o si me iré
Ya me canse de mi barrio y mi casa.

Despite their differences, they all share a sense of hopelessness and the feeling that they are stuck in this life.
