Ojos Rojos

Red Eyes

Ojos Rojos

Leblon was dawningAmanecía Leblon
Her little mouth wouldn't stop talkingSu boquita no paraba de hablar
She was that lovely lost girl with red eyes from smoking so muchEra esa menina preciosa perdida ojos rojos de tanto fumar
Carmen's eyelashes, Rita's waistLas pestañas de Carmen, la cintura de Rita

Behind her, Marilyn, Gilda's hair, Natasha's painPor atrás Marilyn, el cabello de Gilda, el dolor de Natasha
Dolores' voice, Elis' smileLa voz de Dolores, la sonrisa de Elis
She didn't drive BM's, she only had a gliderNo manejaba BM's tan solo tenía un planeador
Pure weed lit up at the doors of her heartPura macoña encendida en las puertas de su corazón

And she laughed and laughed and mixed pillsY se reía y reía y mezclaba pastillas
She fed the painLe daba comida al dolor
She was from Flores, the family home finally fellEra de Flores, la casa paterna por fin se cayó
Everyone hit the streets to make a livingTodo el mundo a la calle a buscarse la vida

Her mother's c*nt, life beganLa concha'e su madre, la vida empezó
Today with one guy, tomorrow with another, and that gift of avoidingHoy con un tipo, mañana con otro y ese don de eludir
And that fleshy, divine, beautiful mouthY esa boca carnosa, divina, hermosa
That couldn't be resistedQue no se podía resistir

February 2001, a carioca hunkFebrero de 2001 un chulazo carioca
Saw her downtownEn el centro la vio
He put her on a bus to Rio, a little cokeLe puso un bondi hasta Río, un poco de coca
Promises of lovePromesas de amor
15 precious years under those pants15 preciosos añitos bajo ese pantalón

And it was all poetry, beautiful, clandestine girlY era toda poesía, nena hermosa, clandestina
She slept all day and dreamed of ArgentinaSe dormía todo el día y soñaba en Argentina
Her dogs, her friends, with Solari, with her auntSus perros, sus amigas, con Solari, con su tía
On amphetaminesDe anfetaminas

Everything keeps shiningTudo vai brilhando
Everything keeps shiningTudo vai brilhando
Everything keeps shining, loveTudo vai brillando, amor
Everything keeps gettingTudo vai ficando
Everything keeps gettingTudo vai ficando
Getting closer to the sunVai ficando perto do Sol

Today I stayed singingHoy fiquei cantando
Today I stayed singingHoy fiquei cantando
Today I stayed singing in the seaHoy fiquei cantando no mar
Today I stayed cryingHoy fiquei chorando
Today I stayed cryingHoy fiquei chorando
Everything on this beautiful morningTudo nesta bela manhã
Tomorrow, Alejandra, tomorrowMañana, Alejandra, mañana
