Paloma

A dove in the buzzard's barUna paloma en el bar de los buitres
A dove in the buzzard's barUna paloma en el bar de los buitres
In the dive bar, the girl has already walked inEn el bar del caficho, ha entrado ya la niña
Balancing on her toes, on the heelsEquilibrista sobre los tacos, de puntitas
Everyone's turned their heads, like lizardsTodos han virado la cabeza, como lagartos
When a prey has fallen into the riverCuando una presa ha caído al río
A dove in the buzzard's barUna paloma en el bar de los buitres
A dove in the buzzard's barUna paloma en el bar de los buitres
Clumsily smoking, sitting on a tableFuma con torpeza sentada sobre una mesa
But she sees her life pass by in an instantMas ve pasar su vida en un instante
She feels the urge to run, but notices those heelsLe asalta salir corriendo, mas repara en esos tacos
And the strong reason that holds her backY en el fuerte motivo que la obliga
It's that life that has left her without a childhoodEs esa vida que la ha dejado sin niñez
And on that corner where her mother sings the kingY en esa esquina donde su madre canta el rey
Her world is a slideSu mundo es un tobogán
Where everything is a slipDonde todo es resbalar
A dove, a dove of the buzzardsUna paloma, una paloma de los buitres
A dove, a dove of the buzzardsUna paloma, una paloma de los buitres
A dove, a dove of the buzzardsUna paloma, una paloma de los buitres
A dove, a dove of the buzzardsUna paloma, una paloma de los buitres
