Construcción
Daniel Viglietti Lyrics

Amó aquella vez como si fuese ultima
He loved that time as if it was his last

Besó a su mujer como si fuese ultima
He kissed his wife as if it was the last time

Y a cada hijo suyo cual si fuese el unico
And to each of his children as if they were his only one

Y atravesó la calle con su paso tímido
And he crossed the street with his shy step

Subió a la construcción como si fuese máquina
He climbed the construction as if he was a machine

Alzó en el balcón cuatro paredes sólidas
He raised four solid walls on the balcony

Ladrillo con ladrillo en un diseño mágico
Brick by brick in a magical design

Sus ojos embotados de cemento y lágrimas
His eyes dulled by cement and tears

Sentóse a descansar como si fuese sábado
He sat to rest as if it was Saturday

Comió su pobre arroz como Si fuese un príncipe
He ate his poor rice as if he was a prince

Bebió y sollozó como si fuese un náufrago
He drank and sobbed as if he was a castaway

Danzó y se rió como si oyese musica
He danced and laughed as if he heard music

Y tropezó en еl cielo con su paso alcohólico
And he stumbled in the sky with his drunken step

Y flotó por el aire cual si fuеse un pájaro
And he floated through the air as if he was a bird

Y terminó en el suelo como un bulto flácido
And he ended up on the ground like a flaccid lump

Y agonizó en el medio del paseo publico
And he agonized in the middle of the public walkway

Murió a contramano entorpeciendo el tránsito
He died against the flow of traffic obstructing it

Amó aquella vez como si fuese el ultimo
He loved that time as if it was his last

Besó a su mujer como si fuese unica
He kissed his wife as if she was unique

Y a cada hijo suyo cual si fuese el pródigo
And to each of his children as if they were the prodigal one

Y atravesó la calle con su paso alcohólico
And he crossed the street with his drunken step

Subió a la construcción como si fuese sólida
He climbed the construction as if it was solid

Alzó en el balcón cuatro paredes mágicas
He raised four magical walls on the balcony

Ladrillo con ladrillo en un diseño lógico
Brick by brick in a logical design

Sus ojos embotados de cemento y tránsito
His eyes dulled by cement and traffic

Sentóse a descansar como si fuese un príncipe
He sat to rest as if he was a prince

Comió su pobre arroz cual si fuese el máximo
He ate his poor rice as if it was the maximum

Bebió y sollozó como si fuese máquina
He drank and sobbed as if he was a machine

Danzó y se rió como si fuese el próximo
He danced and laughed as if he was the next

Y tropezó en el cielo cual si oyese música
And he stumbled in the sky as if he heard music

Y flotó por el aire cual si fuese sábado
And he floated through the air as if it was Saturday

Y terminó en el suelo como un bulto tímido
And he ended up on the ground like a shy lump

Agonizó en el medio del paseo náufrago
He agonized in the middle of the castaway's walkway

Murió a contramano entorpeciendo al publico
He died against the flow of traffic obstructing the public

Amó aquella vez como si fuese máquina
He loved that time as if he was a machine

Besó a su mujer como si fuese lógico
He kissed his wife as if it was logical

Alzó en el balcón cuatro paredes flácidas
He raised four flaccid walls on the balcony

Sentóse a descansar como si fuese un pájaro
He sat to rest as if he was a bird

Y flotó en el aire cual si fuese un príncipe
And he floated in the air as if he was a prince

Y terminó en el suelo como un bulto alcohólico
And he ended up on the ground like a drunken lump

Murió a contramano entorpeciendo el sábado
He died against the flow of traffic obstructing the Saturday

Por ese pan de comer y el suelo para dormir
For that bread to eat and ground to sleep

Registro para nacer, permiso para reír
Registration to be born, permission to laugh

Por dejarme respirar y por dejarme existir
For allowing me to breathe and for allowing me to exist

Dios le pague
God bless you

Por esa grapa de gracia que tenemos que beber
For that staple of grace that we have to drink

Por ese humo desgracia que tenemos que toser
For that disgraceful smoke that we have to cough

Por los andamios de gente para subir y caer
For the scaffolding of people to climb and fall

Dios le pague por esa arpía que un día nos va a adular y escupir
God bless you for that harpy that one day will flatter and spit on us

Y por las moscas y besos que nos vendrán a cubrir
And for the flies and kisses that will come to cover us

Y por la calma postrera que al fin nos va a redimir dios le pague
And for the final calm that will ultimately redeem us, God bless you
