Centro De Gravedad
Una vieja de Madrid con un sombrero,
un paraguas de papel de arroz y caña de bambú.
Capitanes valerosos, listos contrabandistas noctámbulos.
Jesuitas en acción vestidos como unos bonzos
en antiguas cortes con emperadores de la dinastía Ming
Busco un centro de gravedad permanente
que no varíe lo que ahora pienso de las cosas, de la gente,
yo necesito un... cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose, sulla gente.
Over and over again.
En las calles era Mayo y caminábamos juntos
cortando entre bromas manojos de ortigas.
No soporto ciertas modas,
la falsa música rock, la new wave española,
el free jazz, punkie inglés, ni la monserga africana.
Busco un centro de gravedad permanente,
que no varíe lo que ahora pienso de las cosas, de la gente,
yo necesito un...
Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose, sulla gente.
Over and over again.
Center of Gravity
An old woman from Madrid with a hat,
An umbrella of rice paper and bamboo cane.
Brave captains, ready nocturnal smugglers.
Jesuits in action dressed like bonzes
in ancient courts with Ming dynasty emperors
I look for a permanent center of gravity
that doesn't change what I think about things, about people,
I need a... I look for a permanent center of gravity
that never changes my mind about things, about people.
Over and over again.
It was May in the streets and we walked together
cutting bundles of nettles amidst jokes.
I can't stand certain trends,
the fake rock music, the Spanish new wave,
the free jazz, English punk, or the African drivel.
I look for a permanent center of gravity,
that doesn't change what I think about things, about people,
I need a...
I look for a permanent center of gravity
that never changes my mind about things, about people.
Over and over again.
