El Ómnibus

The Bus

El Ómnibus

On the bus from thereEn el ómnibus de allá
I travel through my cityYo recorro mi ciudad
Few things have changedPocas cosas han cambiado
For me, they have stayedPara mí que se han quedado
My friends couldn't progressMis amigos no pudieron progresar

I don't want to remember anymoreYa no quiero recordar
The memories come back wrongLos recuerdos vienen mal
I was born in MontevideoYo nací en Montevideo
I grew up with those inmatesMe crié con esos reos
I played the drums in the placeYo tocaba los tambores del lugar

That hopeful crowdEsa barra ilusionada
That loving peopleEsa gente enamorada
Were left without realitySe quedó sin realidad

Poor postponed peoplePobre gente postergada
Who have breakfast with nothingQue desayuna con nada
Always have something to giveSiempre tiene para dar

I don't want to remember anymoreYa no quiero recordar
The memories come back wrongLos recuerdos vienen mal
I was born in MontevideoYo nací en Montevideo
I grew up with those inmatesMe crié con esos reos
I played the drums in the placeYo tocaba los tambores del lugar
