Borrachos de Carnaval
Javier Calamaro
Carnival Drunks
When I saw you in that bar with a lost look
A cop was approaching and you were leaving without paying
With a few too many drinks, we were kicked out onto the street
And we left embracing each other like carnival drunks
To make you laugh, I said: the stars are on my side
I know we are enlightened, don't leave me
I search for the youth's forehead in another absurd desire
And you said this world is a den of ingratitude
We toasted together for the last time
Until we were kicked out of the bar
And we left embracing each other like carnival drunks
And we went out to kill four bulls in the arena
With the bullfighter's blood, you were starting to get excited
As if to accompany and mock life
You took the dynamite that helps you endure
We toasted together for the last time.
