Al Fondo Hay Sitio

There's Room at the Back

Al Fondo Hay Sitio

There's a bus that takes you wherever you want to goHay un micro que te lleva a dónde quieras llegar
With a thousand stops, they call it Paris - DakarPor tener mil paraderos, lo llaman París - Dakar
On line 120 that smokes like a trainEn la línea 120 que echa humo como un tren
To wherever you raise your hand, if the brake works wellPara donde alzas la mano, si el freno funciona bien

What a trip, little carts, the one who arrives shouts: Bingo!Que tal viaje carretitas, el que llega grita: ¡Bingo!
I got on yesterday without realizing it was February and SundaySubí ayer sin darme cuenta que era febrero y domingo
To pay for my ticket, I put my hand in my pocketPara pagar mi boleto, metí la mano al bolsillo
I was told to stay still, a yellow zambaMe mando mi estate quieto, una zamba de amarillo

Seven singers got on, ten beggars, eight crazy peopleSubieron siete cantantes, diez mendigos, ocho locas
I think there were guitarists playing and playingCreo que había guitarristas punteando toca y que toca
Some smoked cake, others reached into their pocketsUnos fumaban pastel, otros metían la mano
Coco Chanel perfume, mixed with parmesanPerfume Coco Chanel, mezclado con parmesano

A lady shouted: My baby is peeing!Una señora gritaba: ¡Se hace la pichi mi guagua!
People from the streets were gulping down buckets of waterLa gente desde las calles zampaba baldes de agua
The pickpockets very cleverly made a pile on meLos carteristas muy pillos me hicieron cargamontón
Polishing my underwear without taking off my pantsPuliéndome el calzoncillo sin quitarme el pantalón

The traffic is in the street¡El tránsito está en la calle
And there are buses that look like stagecoaches, little cartsY hay micros que parecen diligencias, carretitas
But there's room at the back!Pero al fondo hay sitio!
