Gran Santiago

Great Santiago

Gran Santiago

When you told me you weren't comingCuando me dijiste que no ibas a venir
To get high with me todayDrogarte conmigo hoy día
I got up from my sofa feeling somewhat insecure thinkingMe levante de mi sofa algo inseguro pensando
To breathe the gas from the ovenRespirar el gas del horno
To see if I would dieA ver si me moría

I remembered when you got off the bus on the highwayMe acordé cuando te bajabas del bus en la carretera.
And I remembered weekends on the beachesY me acordé de fin de semanas en las playas
With the radio on all dayCon la radio encendida todo el día.

When you let me know you weren't comingCuando me avisaste que no ibas a venir
To marry me tomorrowCasarte conmigo mañana
I started dancing, ran, jumped through my grandparents' gardenMe puse a bailar, corrí, salte por el jardín de mis abuelos
The countryside shone with lifeEl campo brillaba la vida
With you, I was happyContigo yo era feliz.

I remembered how you used to prepare my favorite mealsMe acordé que me preparabas mis comidas preferidas
When I was sickCuando yo estaba enfermo
And I remembered this while looking at the skyY me acordé de esta mirando el cielo
Oh! How beautiful it was, red and green.Ay! que era lindo era rojo y verde.
