Buenos Aires
National and Munich Symphony Orchestras Lyrics

What's new Buenos Aires?
What has happened recently in Buenos Aires?

I'm new--I want to say I'm just a little stuck on you
I'm new to the city and I'm quite drawn to it already.

You'll be on me too!
The city will also have an impact on me.

I get out here Buenos Aires
I arrive in Buenos Aires.

Stand back--you ought to know what'cha gonna get in me
Buenos Aires, be prepared for what I have to offer.

Just a little touch of star quality!
I possess a small but significant amount of star power.

Fill me up with your heat, with your noise, with your dirt, overdo me
I want to be completely immersed in the chaotic and lively atmosphere of the city.

Let me dance to your beat, make it loud. let it hurt, run it through me
I want to fully embrace the music and let it consume me.

Don't hold back you are certain to impress
Don't be afraid to show me everything you have to offer, I'm sure I'll be impressed.

Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
Instruct the driver to take me to my destination in the city.

Hello Buenos Aires!
A greeting to the city.

Get this--just look at me, dressed up somewhere to go
Pay attention to my appearance, I have somewhere important to be.

We'll put on a show!
Let's make a spectacle of ourselves and put on a performance for the city.

Take me in at your flood, give me speed, give me lights, set me humming
Engulf me in the energetic and lively aspects of the city.

Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up with your nights, watch me coming
Introduce me to the nightlife and let me experience the vibrancy of the city.

All I want is a whole lot of excess
I want to indulge and experience everything in excess.

Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
Inform the musician where I'll be performing in the city.

Stand back Buenos Aires!
Be prepared for the impact I'll have on the city.

Because you ought to know what'cha gonna get in me
The city should be aware of my potential impact.

And if ever I go too far
If I ever over-indulge or go too far in the city.

It's because of the things you are
It's a result of the exciting and enticing aspects of the city.

Beautiful town--I love you
A declaration of love and admiration for the city.

And if I need a moment's rest
If I need a break from the excitement and stimulation of the city.

Give your lover the very best
Provide me with the best possible accommodations and treatment.

Real eiderdown--and silence
A reference to a luxurious and peaceful bedding material.

You're a tramp, you're a treat, you will shine to the death, you are shoddy
Buenos Aires is a mix of rough and polished elements that will stand out regardless.

But you're flesh, you are meat, you shall have every breath in my body
I will give my all to the city, body and soul.

Put me down for a lifetime of success
I predict that my time in the city will bring me lasting success.

Give me credit--I'll find ways of paying
Trust me to repay any help or kindness I receive in the city.

Rio de la Plata!
A reference to the river delta that Buenos Aires sits upon.

Florida!
A popular shopping street in Buenos Aires.

Corrientes!
A major avenue and cultural hub in Buenos Aires.

Nueve de Julio!
A wide avenue in Buenos Aires that holds the Obelisk landmark.

All I want to know!
I want to know everything about the city.

Stand back Buenos Aires!
The city should be prepared for my arrival.

Because you oughta know what'cha gonna get in me
The city should be aware of my potential impact.

Just a little touch of Just a little touch of
A reference to the bit of star power that the city will impart on me.

Just a little touch of star quality!
I possess a small but significant amount of star power.
