Mal De Africa

Africa Blues

Mal De Africa

Already eaten, he was going to restYa comido, se iba a descansar
Rocked by the mosquito nets and the noise in the kitchenMecido por las mosquiteras y por el ruido en la cocina
Through the slightly open windows, reflections on the wallPor las ventanas entreabiertas, reflejos en la pared
And some abstract thing took over meY alguna cosa abstracta se adueñaba de mi
I felt like talking softly to not botherSentía hablar bajito para no molestar
And it was like a Africa blues, Africa bluesY era como un mal de África, mal de África
With the chairs sitting on the streetCon las sillas sentadas en la calle
Shorts and t-shirt because of the heatPantalón corto y camiseta por el calor que hacia
In the window behind the bars, my father was combing his hairEn la ventana tras la reja mi padre si peinaba
The smell of hair gel took over meEl olor de brillantina se apoderaba de mi
The pleasure of feeling together to criticizeEl placer de sentirse juntos para criticar
And it was like a Africa blues, Africa bluesY era como un mal de África, mal de África
In the window behind the bars, my father was combing his hairEn la ventana tras la reja mi padre si peinaba
The smell of hair gel took over meEl olor de brillantina se apoderaba de mi
The pleasure of feeling together to criticizeEl placer de sentirse juntos para criticar
And it was like a Africa blues, Africa bluesY era como un mal de África, mal de África
