Babel (feat. Fito Paez)

Babel (part. Fito Paez)

There is a sacred placeHay un lugar sagrado
That has no pastQue no tiene pasado
And was relegated to buying and sellingY fue relegado a compraventa
Where everyone goes on their ownDonde cada quién va por su cuenta
NoNo

It's a tired worldEs un mundo cansado
Almost worn outYa casi desfondado
Of scrolls and appearancesDe pergaminos y apariencia
That entangle us with their languageQue nos enredan con su lengua
But they don't know where to goPero no saben donde ir

And I think of you againY te vuelvo a pensar
How could I exchangeComo pude cambiar
Your song for two used sneakersTu canción por dos tenis usados

I just want to writeSolo quiero escribir
To be close to youPara estar junto a ti
And escape from this invented worldY escapar de este mundo inventado

BabelBabel
No one wants to understandNadie se quiere entender
They prefer Rome and to burnPrefieren Roma y arder
The train leaves us againNos vuelve a dejar el tren
At the exitA la salida

Raimundo is tiredRaimundo está cansado
And doesn't like peopleY no le gusta la gente
But he wants to run for presidentPero quiere lanzarse para presidente
The world is a cageEl mundo es una jaula
Of rabid extremistsDe extremistas rabiosos
And the rest of us go crazy trying to save ourselvesY el resto pa’ salvarnos nos ponemos re locos

And I think of you againY te vuelvo a pensar
How could I exchangeComo pude cambiar
Your song for two used sneakersTu canción por dos tenis usados

I just want to writeSolo quiero escribir
To be close to youPara estar junto a ti
And escape from this invented worldY escapar de este mundo inventado

No one wants to understandNadie se quiere entender
They prefer Rome and to burnPrefieren Roma y arder
The train leaves us againNos vuelve a dejar el tren
At the exitA la salida

No one wants to understandNadie se quiere entender

The train leaves us againNos vuelve a dejar el tren
At the exitA la salida

No one wants to understandNadie se quiere entender
They prefer Rome and to burnPrefieren Roma y arder
The train leaves us againNos vuelve a dejar el tren
