Carnival Drunks

Javier Calamaro

Borrachos de Carnaval

Cuando te vi en ese bar con la mirada perdida
Se acercaba un policía y vos te ibas sin pagar
Con unas copas de mas a la calle nos echaron
Y nos fuimos abrazados como borrachos de carnaval
Yo para hacerte reír te dije: los astros están de mi lado
Sé que estamos iluminados, no te separes más de mí
Busco la frente de la juventud en otro deseo absurdo
Y vos decías que este mundo es una cueva de ingratitud
Brindamos juntos por ultima vez
Hasta que nos echaron del bar
Y nos fuimos abrazados como borrachos de carnaval
Y salimos a matar cuatro toros en el ruedo
Con la sangre del torero ya te empezabas a exitar
Como para acompañar y burlarte de la vida
Tomabas la dinamita que te ayuda a soportar
Brindamos juntos por ultima vez.

Carnival Drunks

When I saw you in that bar with a lost look
A cop was approaching and you were leaving without paying
With a few too many drinks, we were kicked out onto the street
And we left embracing each other like carnival drunks
To make you laugh, I said: the stars are on my side
I know we are enlightened, don't leave me
I search for the youth's forehead in another absurd desire
And you said this world is a den of ingratitude
We toasted together for the last time
Until we were kicked out of the bar
And we left embracing each other like carnival drunks
And we went out to kill four bulls in the arena
With the bullfighter's blood, you were starting to get excited
As if to accompany and mock life
You took the dynamite that helps you endure
We toasted together for the last time.
