El Ritmo Del Lunes

Pueyrredón and Santa Fe - repeat -Pueyrredón y Santa Fe - bis -
Which sidewalk are you walking on?¿por qué vereda camina usted? )
I'm going to sit in a barme voy a sentar en un bar
to watch people pass by - chorus -a ver la gente pasar - estribillo -
to watch people pass bya ver la gente pasar
At a table, the two poetsen una mesa los dos poétas
gather pieces of a false dayjuntan pedazos de un día falso
because at night is whenporque de noche recién empieza
the fury that pierces you beginsla furia que te atraviesa
from lovers, from being Tuesday...de los amantes, de ser el martes...
- chorus -- estribillo -
In the bathroom, the drugged ones locked upen el baño los drogados encerrados
and at the tabley en la mesa
the bearded ones confesslos de barba se confiesan
because they are out of their mindsporque están de la cabeza
every seven karatekaskaratecas cada siete
a blow follows and I'm looking forsigue un golpe y voy buscando
that great meaningese gran significado
that life has programmed, banishedque la vida a programado, desterrado
chorusestribillo
the rhythm of Mondayel ritmo del lunes
no longer walksya no camina
it's sitting waiting for the dayestá sentado esperando el día
prisons of inkpridiones de la tinta
of the nightde la noche
ambulatory of sex and wasteambulatorios de sexo y derroche
but tonightpero esta noche
I can learnpuedo aprender
she reads a novelella lee una novela
that I can't quite make outque no alcanzo a distinguir
she gets up and picks up from the floorse levanta y recoje del suelo
my confessionmi confesión
