Buenos Aires (alma de piedra)
Luis Alberto Spinetta
Buenos Aires (soul of stone)
Long time ago
You eat what I throw
And how do you stand it like that?
Don't you see the children are around?
I eat that by looking
I only see your pain
I slowly see
That announcing for the bad
Your desire is to be poorer
Although those who stole from you
Or rather kill
To become so rich
Finally they illuminated
The showcase of your love
They play for money
With a cameraman
Buenos Aires, soul of stone
No one is waiting for us
I think I see them dancing
In the blue street
And it's not true
You change your face
When the tide rises
You are a leech
Of the people who fear you
What you can't stand
Is intelligent decency
And an overdose of love would kill you
Buenos Aires, soul of stone
No one is waiting for us, baby
I see them dancing in the blue street
And it's not true
Your desire is to be poorer
Even though those who stole from you
Or rather kill
To become so rich
It spreads like wildfire
The drool of the one who gives it to you
Your face changes
When a truth rises
Buenos Aires, soul of stone
No one is waiting for us
I think I see them dancing in the blue street
And it's not true (no baby)
Your heart wouldn't lie to you, and that's how it is
It's the city that remained empty
Your heart wouldn't lie to you, and that's how it is
This city that remained empty
Your heart wouldn't lie to you, and that's how it is
A city that remained empty
Your heart wouldn't lie to you, that's how it is
This city that remained empty
