Resumen Porteño

Ricky is readyRicky está listo
Out of his mindListo del bocho
And on top of that, he ended up in the Navy (937)Y encima le tocó Marina (937)

And to break freeY para zafarse
He just pops pillsSolo toma pastillas
He won't touch a bookY ya no toca un libro
And he won't let anyone tell him anythingY no quiere que le digan nada

And Ricky is leavingY es que Ricky se va
Alone, without a word, but he's leavingSolo, sin hablar, pero se va
A fresh pair of batteries for his WalkmanPar de pilas nuevas para el walkman
And a bus ticket to RioY un boleto en micro hacia Río
And a cassette of days, and days, and daysY un cassette de días, y días, y días

Águeda dancesÁgueda baila
She dances and fallsBaila y se cae
But she never gets any thinnerY no adelgaza nunca

The psychoanalystsLos psicoanalistas
Are using herLa están usando
And they say there's no way outY dicen que no hay caso ya
Could it be because of her greenish cheek?¿Será por su mejilla verde?

And this always happensY esto siempre se da
No one will feel her sorrowNadie vibrará su desconsuelo
She's only happy at concertsSolo está feliz en los conciertos
And she always gets taken awayY siempre se la llevan detenida
Like an angelComo a un ángel

And in the inflationary hellY en el infierno inflacionario
And among the world leadersY entre los líderes del mundo
Maybe your heart will openTu corazón se abrirá, tal vez

Cacho is deadCacho está muerto
Dead from laughterMuerto de risa
And he feels nothing anymoreY ya no siente nada

He goes out with his fishing rodÉl va con su caña
And his radioY su portátil
And sets up at dawnY arma con el alba
I don't know if he's bound to lose his mindNo sé si habrá de enloquecerse

Or if he'll stay like thisO es que así quedará
Even if the horizon dissolvesAunque se disuelva el horizonte
But the truth is, it's unsettlingPero la verdad es que da impresión
To see white fish on a nylon lineVer los blancos peces en un nylon
When it’s still so earlyCuando es tan temprano

Usually, at this hour, only bodies floatUsualmente, solo flotan cuerpos a esta hora
