No Te Caigas Campeon
Los Rosarinos
Don't Fall Champion
It's almost five in the afternoon
Wálter returns to the neighborhood where yesterday
he played barefoot with the ball
after lunchtime
if there was
A kid hands him a little picture
and he looks at it trying to understand
if someone protects them from the sky
why wouldn't they do it here too
and that's why...
He wanted to be a champion
and he started fighting
each punch was a plate of food
and the tears running down his skin
carress so many blows of life
Memories weigh too much
that's why he bends while walking
everything but forgetting
in the wine he seems to seek
or who knows...
In the almost empty room
everything smells like smoke and loneliness
there are only blue and yellow pennants
and photos of Gardel and the General
that tell him...
Don't fall champion
the last round is missing
waiting for you at the end of your path
You just have to keep standing to win
turning the abysses into horizons
Don't fall champion!!!
don't give up champion
