Los Olímpicos

The Olympians
Here it comes
End of the year
We celebrate
Christmas
Rehearsals
Get complicated
Preparing
For Carnival
It's almost here
End of the year
In Holland
In Canada
The guys
Frozen
Remembering
Carnival
Uruguayans
Uruguayans
Where did they go
To end up
In the most remote
Neighborhoods
Of Colombes
Or Amsterdam
We used to be champions
We were going to win
Today we're the assholes
Who fall to peck
Immigrant worker
Is the new profession
Those caught without papers
Are deported on a plane
Uruguayans...
Yesterday I received a letter
Straight from New York
From my friend Horacio
He works as a welder
Now he has a fancy car
Carpet and heating
It seems crazy
He's doing worse every day
He misses our people
Who talk to you without disdain
He misses the port air
When it announces the storm
And yet he remembers
Things halfway
Forgets what happened
Before going there
Uruguayans...
Coming back doesn't make sense
Nor does living there
The one who left isn't so smart
The one who left isn't so dumb
That's why if someone disappears
What can we tell them
Don't forget about us
And be very happy.
