La Casa En Las Estrellas

A whole life smoking on the corner
watching the world go by
all my life wandering on your corner
watching the kids grow
here in my neighborhood they don't let me lie-
earn your bread, brother, and survive.

And I learned the most beautiful craft there is
to make the house in the stars
I tuned the radio to a station
recorded everything on cassette
everything was music, night and day
and my life was upside down
I don't know what happened, baby
what happened, only time passed
and this is what I gave you
a house in the stars
do not worry about being kicked out of here
luckily I have always laughed at myself
I have the rage intact and I don't plan on losing it
still crazy 30 years later.

With what I could, joy, good luck, and rock and roll
I built my life and the world hit me
a punch in the middle of the chest that reached my lungs
but my heart became strong
everything in my life is just Argentina
and it's not my imagination
let the world know, my dear
that it fits entirely in a song
the world fits in a song
and we didn't do so bad
and we didn't do so bad
doing houses in the stars.
