Taxi Driver

You seem to know everything and say nothing
You travel through the early hours in this stained and lonely city
Like a garden of gray roses
Marked by incomprehension and daily tension
You travel without thinking and without judging
The green lights of the road invite you to continue the journey
And you drive even if you don't like it
From slums in suburbs to illustrious neighborhoods
"Taxi driver" how many lives have you seen?
How many rushes and smiles, how many sad faces?
Behind your wheel, so many moments
Of passersby who, leaving a tip, bid farewell distantly
The city that covers you lives because you are its soul
And to roll through it is to roll on your own palm
And so you go, whether the sun rises or in downpours
In the night shift or stuck in traffic jams
On 4 wheels, you take us cruising through the air
"Taxi driver"

CHORUS: Taxi driver...

Do you remember that pregnant mother with her husband
Before the miracle of life that was born before their eyes?
Or those couples who in a secret kiss united, laughed, felt
Or that confused boy who wanted to start from scratch
Fleeing from the scourge of steel bars
Or that prostitute with a horrible look, sealed
By a destiny without mercy for the sensitive
Taxi driver, what happened to that blind man?
What happened to his passion and his smiling gestures?
What happened to that chained girl?
By the treatment of a love with poisoned caresses
Do you remember how she spoke to you?
Although her tear was dry, do you remember how she cried?
Or that immigrant who traveled adrift
Dreaming of this land, promised and forbidden
Everything you have seen is not written in any book
Your experience guides, those events and dangers
And on the cold night someone shouts:
Take me out of here, drive far from this land that sees me die
Taxi driver

CHORUS: Taxi driver...
