Taxi horiak
Laister autobusera altxatuko naiz
"dedo" egin tren bat hartu
ze jende xelebre estazioetan!
Gutxizat botako ditut arrats bakartiak
zinema hutseetan
gauak, goiziak, jendea
Fenderraren tipoa kalean joten
paranoikoen hiri-babes batentzako
doinu izkutuak,
Viscontik sekula ez du ametsetan egingo beraz.
Ene agurrentzako
taxi horiak
nahi ditut ikusi
ez zapi txuriak, ez ta malkoak
Ari dira hitzak
ari dira hots!
ari dira zaratak...
---nazkatzen ari naiz hiri honeaz!
Yellow Taxis
I'll quickly jump on the bus
Give a 'thumb' and take a train
What a shady crowd at the stations!
I'll throw my lonely afternoons away
In empty cinemas
Nights, mornings, people
Playing the guitar on the street
For the paranoid city-dwellers
Muffled sounds,
Visconti will never dream of it.
For my cravings
yellow taxis
I want to see them
no white cabs, no limos
Words are flowing
words are hot!
words are sharp...
---I'm falling in love with this city!
