The Alley of Miracles

El Callejón de los Milagros

My alley with all its miraclesMi callejón con todos sus milagros
Your alley, oh, bang, bang, bangTu callejón, ay, bang, bang, bang
Gardens with their little golden applesJardines con sus manzanitas de oro
And in your garden, oh, bang, bang, bangY en tu jardín, ay, bang, bang, bang

Bitter puddles are your fifteen yearsCharcos amargos son tus quince años
And there's that stone that wants to drag you down (oh, no)Y está esa piedra que te quiere hundir (oh, no)

Death is watching you, like a visorLa muerte que te mira, hace visera
Empty sockets, bang, bang, bangCuencas vacías, bang, bang, bang
You're tied up on the bathroom floorEstás atado en el piso del baño
Face down and bang, bang, bangBoca abajo y bang, bang, bang

A gunshot won't change your expressionUn estampido no te cambia el gesto
It's the cash that gives you hopeSon los billetes los que te dan ilusión

Those kids feel nothingEsos pibes no sienten nada
They don't feel like they could dieNo sienten que se pueden morir
And nothing for youY nada por vos

What smells you with its black snoutLo que te huele con su hocico negro
Is the little dog of the lawEs el pichicho de la ley
You dreamed of Filipino maidsSoñaste con mucamos filipinos
Dead and stylish, oh, bang, bang, bangMuerto coqueto, ay, bang, bang, bang

Perfumes that overwhelm and dizzyPerfumes que empalagan y marean
With the miracles of my alleyCon los milagros de mi callejón

My alleyMi callejón
My alley with all its miraclesMi callejón con todos sus milagros
Your alley, oh, bangTu callejón, ay, bang
