Paquito

Not far from Buenos AiresNo muy lejos de Buenos Aires
In a modest homeEn un modesto hogar
There are souls cryingHay almas que están llorando
Because Paquito the youngestPorque Paquito el menor
Contracted that terrible diseaseContrajo aquel terrible mal
Jesus... How to get out of this?Jesús... Como salir de esta?
Wasn't it just a thing for queers and addicts?No era solo cosa de maricas y adictos?
... His Father shouts... Grita su Padre
And wonders where they could have failedY se pregunta en que pudieron fallar
That night no one spoke at dinnerEsa noche nadie habló en la cena
Paco is in a bad mood that condemnsPaco está de malas que condena
Because some are so wellPorque unos están tan bien
And others are so badY otros están tan mal

Poor Paquito!Pobre Paquito!
Your worst sentence is peopleTu peor condena es la gente
It's not your faultNo es tu mal
Poor Paquito!Pobre Paquito!
They crucified you...Te crucificaron...

During the day he clenches his teethDurante el día aprieta los dientes
At night in his room he cries alonePor las noches en su cuarto llora solo
Miracles of science may shine again.Milagros de la ciencia vuelvan a brillar.

And I don't understand how they say everything is fine,Y yo no entiendo como dicen que todo va bien,
if we walk the paths of Babylon,si transitamos los caminos de la Babylon,
I will think of everything that can lift me upVoy a pensar en todo lo que me pueda elevar
Rebel Spirit don't leave me again,Espíritu Rebelde no me vuelvas a dejar,
May God bless the Poor and the sickQue Dios bendiga al Pobre y al que se enferma
It's time to Lose,Es tiempo de Perder,
May the defeat not hurt you...Que la derrota no te duela...
