Me Contaron Que Bajo El Asfalto

I Heard That Under the Asphalt

Me Contaron Que Bajo El Asfalto

I heard that under the asphaltMe contaron que bajo el asfalto
There is a different worldExiste un mundo distinto
With people who never saw the sunCon gente que nunca vio el sol
And do not know the noises.Y no conoce los ruidos.

That there's a completely black kidQue hay un pibe complemente negro
Who spends his time paintingQue se la pasa pintando
And doesn't know the colorsY no conoce los colores
He paints invented blues.Pinta azules inventados.

On the corner of my houseEn la esquina de mi casa
A river of ink springs upBrota un río de tinta
With people just like peopleCon gente igual a la gente
But a little different.Pero un poco distinta.

They have a sky-blue kingTienen un rey celeste
Who deep down doesn't scare anyoneQue en el fondo a nadie asusta
He can't command anyoneNo puede mandar a nadie
He's only king because he likes it.Sólo es rey porque le gusta.

I heard that under the asphaltMe contaron que bajo el asfalto
There is a different worldExiste un mundo distinto
With people who never saw the sunCon gente que nunca vio el sol
And do not know the noises...Y no conoce los ruidos...
