Santa Lucía
La conocí en la estación Santa Lucía
Ella miraba muy tristemente mi actuación
Cuando se iba, le dije: Negra, tengo una cola
Si me acompañas busco un pretexto mucho mejor
Y caminamos hacia el banco de una plaza que le llaman Brasil
No era tan lejos para despertar de un sueño, para sobrevivir
Y nos quedamos tanto rato en silencio, sin saber que decir
Un perro nos ladró y de un salto deslizamos una risa fútil
La conocí en la estación Santa Lucía
Ella miraba los buses llenos del terminal
Le dije: Negra, vamos pal sur, vamo' a Valdivia
Me dijo: Bueno, no pierdo nada, hay que probar
Y sin pensarlo nos instalamos en Niebla, perdón, en Los Molinos
Vida tan simple no podíamos tener todavía más
Yo deshacía canciones, ella armaba collares cada semana
Fumando pasamos el tiempo y sin querer dejamos de trabajar
En una noche de temporal
Me dijo: Negro, yo no doy más
Todo era un juego y sé que es malo jugar
Solo quería experimentar
Ya me cansé de tanto blues, ya me cansé del frío del sur
Quédate con tus cancioncitas, sin dinero no pagamos la luz
La conocí en la estación Santa Lucía
Me dio su amor, me dio su sexo, me dio su arroz
Me dio un portazo en mis creencias, en mis costillas
Me dijo seria que sin dinero no se salva el amor
Me dijo seria que sin dinero no se salva el amor
Me dijo seria que sin dinero no se salva el amor
No se salva el amor
No se salva el amor
No se salva el amor
Santa Lucia
I met her at Santa Lucia station
She watched my performance very sadly
As she was leaving, I said: Black girl, I have a tail
If you come with me, I'll find a much better excuse
And we walked to the bench in a square they call Brazil
It wasn't so far to wake up from a dream, to survive
And we stayed silent for so long, not knowing what to say
A dog barked at us and we burst into a futile laugh
I met her at Santa Lucia station
She watched the buses full of the terminal
I said: Black girl, let's go south, let's go to Valdivia
She said: Okay, I have nothing to lose, we must try
And without thinking we settled in Niebla, sorry, in Los Molinos
We couldn't have a simpler life
I was undoing songs, she was making necklaces every week
Smoking, we passed the time and unintentionally stopped working
On a stormy night
She said: Black man, I can't take it anymore
It was all a game and I know it's bad to play
I just wanted to experience
I'm tired of so much blues, I'm tired of the southern cold
Keep your little songs, without money we don't pay the light
I met her at Santa Lucia station
She gave me her love, she gave me her sex, she gave me her rice
She slammed the door on my beliefs, on my ribs
She seriously said that love can't be saved without money
She seriously said that love can't be saved without money
She seriously said that love can't be saved without money
Love can't be saved
Love can't be saved
Love can't be saved
