El Rocanrol de Los Idiotas

I didn't feel like laughing
You laughed to avoid crying
I winked at my nose
You comforted your loneliness

I had no broom to sell
You had a thousand and one nights to forget
No woman wanted me
A city was dying on you

You had missed the last bus
I had been kicked out of another bar
The same voodoo pins
The same story that ends badly

But heaven wanted
To baptize the ground
Drop by drop
And with sand shampoo
For your broken doll hair
And your blue gaze
Told me heads or tails
And my gambler soul
Put it on double or nothing

And the colorful fish on my boots
And your withered high-heeled shoes
Crazy to shipwreck
Went out to dance
To the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
The rock and roll of the idiots

I didn't come from any country
You were on your way to anywhere
The future didn't count on me
The verb 'to love' didn't remember you
I didn't play to avoid losing
You cheated to avoid winning
I didn't pray to avoid believing
You didn't kiss to avoid dreaming

And without vaudeville misunderstandings
Or red alerts in the heart
The God of the storm wanted to open
The box of thunder and thundered
Because heaven wanted
To caress the ground
Drop by drop
And with sand shampoo
For your broken doll hair

What a nonsense
Chess game
With a partner
Addicted to checkmate

And your bag like a seagull's nest
And my future with stale bread in the drawer
Crazy to shipwreck
Went out to dance
To the rhythm of the rain on the hoods
The rock and roll of the idiots

Weathering the storm
Went out to dance
Like two crazy people under the downpour of notes
From the rock and roll of the idiots

The rock and roll
The rock and roll of the idiots
Like you and like me
The rock and roll of the idiots

The street was marked
With that detail
Of leaving us alone
The rock and roll of the idiots

And by chance
He started playing
The Bartolo's flute
The rock and roll of the idiots

Go Johnny go, go, go
The rock and roll of the idiots
All you need is love
And dance
The rock and roll of the idiots

A vam ba baluba balam bam bu
Tutti frutti
The rock and roll of the idiots
Don't worry
The rock and roll of the idiots
