I Heard That Under the Asphalt

Sandra Mihanovich

Me Contaron Que Bajo El Asfalto

Me contaron que bajo el asfalto
Existe un mundo distinto
Con gente que nunca vio el sol
Y no conoce los ruidos.

Que hay un pibe complemente negro
Que se la pasa pintando
Y no conoce los colores
Pinta azules inventados.

En la esquina de mi casa
Brota un río de tinta
Con gente igual a la gente
Pero un poco distinta.

Tienen un rey celeste
Que en el fondo a nadie asusta
No puede mandar a nadie
Sólo es rey porque le gusta.

Me contaron que bajo el asfalto
Existe un mundo distinto
Con gente que nunca vio el sol
Y no conoce los ruidos...

I Heard That Under the Asphalt

I heard that under the asphalt
There is a different world
With people who never saw the sun
And do not know the noises.

That there's a completely black kid
Who spends his time painting
And doesn't know the colors
He paints invented blues.

On the corner of my house
A river of ink springs up
With people just like people
But a little different.

They have a sky-blue king
Who deep down doesn't scare anyone
He can't command anyone
He's only king because he likes it.

I heard that under the asphalt
There is a different world
With people who never saw the sun
And do not know the noises...
