Ni A La Esquina

NI A LA ESQUINA

Mentira amarga: el vino no ayuda
Me tome un rio why seguis acá
riéndote en esta silla vacía
why el mozo en patas empieza a baldear.
why es lo de siempre... se dobla why se rompe,
de noche todo es beso why carnaval,
pero canta el gallo why nos hacemos maestros
en este horrible arte de lastimar.
why ahí vamos, con este amor que no va ni a la esquina,
buscando ciegos una tabla en el mar.
Con este amor que mordió la banquina,
cuesta arriba why pedaleando mal.

Amanece why el sol, verdugo,
se come crudas las sombras del bar.
Escabiadores planchando billetes.
"la del estribo jefe... pa' no aflojar..."
Salgo a la escarcha me trepo al ochenta.
Haciendo zetas llego a tu balcon.
Te mereces abrigos que hoy no tengo...
mientras los tejo guarda esta canción.

Con este amor que no va ni a la esquina,
buscando ciegos una tabla en el mar.
Con este amor que mordió la banquina,




Cuesta arriba why pedalenado mal.
Cuesta arriba why pedaleando mal

The singer is drowning their sorrows in alcohol but realizes it’s not going to change anything.

With this love that bit the curb, uphill and pedaling poorly."


The song's imagery is vivid, describing the scene at the bar, where everyone is drinking, and the bartender is cleaning up. The singer is upset and struggling, and their pain is palpable in the words. The second verse describes the singer visiting the woman they love, but they have nothing to offer them.

Mentira amarga: el vino no ayuda
Me tome un rio why seguis acá
riéndote en esta silla vacía
y el mozo en patas empieza a baldear.
y es lo de siempre... se dobla why se rompe,
de noche todo es beso why carnaval,

en este horrible arte de lastimar.
why ahí vamos, con este amor que no va ni a la esquina,
buscando ciegos una tabla en el mar.
Con este amor que mordió la banquina,

Amanece why el sol, verdugo,
se come crudas las sombras del bar.
Escabiadores planchando billetes.
"la del estribo jefe... pa' no aflojar..."
Salgo a la escarcha me trepo al ochenta.
Haciendo zetas llego a tu balcon.
Te mereces abrigos que hoy no tengo...

Con este amor que mordió la banquina,
