(- Martin, I don't want to meet, please, Martin.
- No, no, no, enough of whims, get dressed and go home.

- Thank you, thank you, how can I say? how can I say?
- Hahaha
- Talking to a Japanese?
- No, with Horacio Guaraní)
Many years ago a man dreamed,
an empire, a very large empire...
he had a good face and never stopped talking,
with the most hated and loved man in the place...

And he dreamed of having a flowery garden
a homeland from Mexico to the foot,
with brothers of all kinds
and in the dream he shouted:
I'm sinking, I'm sinking, I'm sinking

And no one knows how I ended up here...

(- Alvarez!
- How do you know my name is Alvarez?
- Um... I know everything.
- You look familiar to me,
haven't we met before?)

Mona Giménez with Mickey Rourke
watching the girls at the Puti club
the rock band that wanted the most girls
boys entering the Caracas Hilton

Coca-Coca-Coca-Coca Sarly
Coca-Coca-Coca-Coca Cola
Coca-Coca-Coca-Coca
Pinochet will be unappetizing
the day they beat him up

I kept walking and arrived at a disco
Gaddafi dancing with a minister
they asked for oil and didn't give it to them
they gave them Fernet which is a good poison
Fabi Cantilo kicked out Henry Miller
because it was too late and for what he writes
none of this mattered to Henry
and he ended up in bed with Salomón
There go the Pimpinela down Fifth Avenue
the Madison on fire, Argentina burns
Caligula wakes up from his hibernation
gets on stage and throws them both
Fat Porcel sings rock
and smokes Billie Bond's weed
And they keep planning something in Bolivia
to marry Almodóvar to a girl.

And everyone wants to arrive first
Pedrito kisses Merello.
What a strange dream this couple has
the doors here never end.

Batato playing with Maradona
alone, alone in the Boca one
And I keep walking and enter a bar
and it was already day and it wasn't true
Andrés Calamaro and Lou Reed
thinking, thinking of getting out of here.
outside the kids in the city
I think they don't dream, they don't dream anymore
I don't want Bunge & Born dollars anymore
Baby, today I go back home to dream of you.
And at home I shout: I'm sinking, I'm sinking

And no one knows how I ended up here...
To the Third World, Third World !!
Third World !! Third World !!
Third World !! (Oh yeah) Third World !!
(Oh yeah) Third World !!
