Invierno del 92

Winter of '92

Invierno del 92

A winter in which the cold hurtUn invierno que dolía el frío
My body was no longer mineMi cuerpo ya no era el mío
I was on the bus with a coldIba en el ómnibus resfriado
Looking through the fogged glassMirando por el vidrio empañado

She was pretty although she had bad breath, but I gave half of my seat to herEra linda aunque con mal aliento, pero le cedí la mitad de mi asiento
I'm sorry, she told me with an accent, I don't sit next to a degenerateLo lamento me dijo con acento al lado de un degenerado no me siento

Ah, blonde, the rain did you really badAh, rubia te hizo mal la lluvia
Or you have a cloudy mindO tenes la mente turbia
You dream that a paparazzi follows youSoñas que te sigue un paparazzi
With black glasses at night you look like a naziCon lentes negros de noche pareces un nazi
The feeling does not accompany youNo te acompaña el sentimiento
You're going to die from a thought attackVas a morir de un ataque de pensamiento
And I shouted in her frozen faceY le grité en la cara congelada
Another stupid blondeOtra rubia tarada

Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
Someone, give heatAlguien que de calor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
I ask, pleaseLe pido por favor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
Damn winter of 92Maldito invierno del 92

I noticed a swollen lymph nodeMe noté un ganglio inflamado
And a car didn't brake because it was wetY un auto no frenó porque estaba mojado
It ran over a child without mercyAtropelló a un niño sin piedad
What kills is humidityLo que mata es la humedad
As a younger brother I had only inherited this holed sweaterComo hermano menor había heredado, solo este buzo agujereado
And I knew the next door guy had a spare paddingY sabía que al tipo de al lado, le sobraba un acolchado

When I saw him walkingCuando lo vi caminando
I called him on the opposite sidewalkPor la acera de enfrente lo fui llamando
First he, like Pillar he lookedPrimero hizo como pilar miró
Then like Robinson he walkedDespués como Robinson Crusoe
But the mister told mePero me dijo el señorito
That on the quilt his bunny sleptQue en el acolchado dormía su conejito
What would he know about what is a ghetto?Que sabrá lo que es un ghetto
Another posh environmentalistOtro ecologista cheto

Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
Someone, give heatAlguien que de calor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
I ask, pleaseLe pido por favor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
Damn winter of 92Maldito invierno del 92

I was in the fog with my dilemmaIba en la niebla con mi dilema
In my lung, I had an edemaEn el pulmón me salió un edema
And with my skull lookY con mi aspecto de calavera
I went to see a nurseFui a que me viera una enfermera

It seemed like I was deliriousParecía que yo deliraba
She said it was because I was flying because of feverDecía que era porque de fiebre volaba
Flying, I said looking at a thermosVolar, dije mirando un termo
The dream of men and sick birdsEl sueño de los hombres y los pájaros enfermos

That dishvelled and rude healerEsa curandera rea
That in an assembly of the OASQue en una asamblea de la OEA
She left my liver like patéEl hígado me dejó como paté
Because she infected me with hepatitis BPorque me contagió con hepatitis B
I discovered of that creepLe descubrí a esa rastrera
A voodoo doll of me on the fridgeUn muñeco vudú mío en la heladera
I filled her boiler with phlegmLe llené de flema la caldera
Another treacherous bitchOtra perra traicionera

Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
Someone, give heatAlguien que de calor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
I ask, pleaseLe pido por favor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
Damn winter of 92Maldito invierno del 92

It's going to be a long waitVa a ser una larga espera
Until spring comesHasta que llegue la primavera
Although I'm shivering from the coldAunque de frió voy tiritando
I keep getting hotterYo me sigo calentando

Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
Someone, give heatAlguien que de calor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
I ask, pleaseLe pido por favor
Uh oh, oh, oh, ohUh oh oh oh oh
