Retiro Voluntario

Hello, I'm on retreat, waiting for the busHola, estoy en retiro, esperando el colectivo
Having a burger, with ham, cheese, and beerCenando una hamburguesa, con jamón queso y cerveza
The world is in a hurry and I'm going against the flowEl mundo anda apurado y yo voy a contramano
I call you before leaving just to say goodbyeTe llamo antes de irme solo para despedirme

I already told you I hate leaving voicemailsYa te dije que odio dejar mensajes grabados
These answering machines are known to be snitchesEstos contestadores tienen fama de buchones
But it seems you left, that's why you didn't answerPero se ve que te fuiste, y por eso no atendiste
If you're with someone, tell me, or maybe you went to the moviesSi estas con alguien decime, o por ahí te fuiste al cine

Hey, if you're listening to me, answer because it's seriousChe, si me estas escuchando, atendeme porque es grave
But hold on a second, the waiter wants me to payPero aguantame un segundo que el mozo quiere que le pague
No, I don't have change, I gave it to a kid outsideNo, no tengo monedas, se las di a un pibe allá afuera
Who opens taxi doors and carries bags down to the sidewalkQue abre los taxis y baja los bolsos hasta la vereda

I won't make it too long, I'm running out of batteryNo la voy a hacer muy larga, me estoy quedando sin carga
This crappy cellphone might die any momentEste celular de mie*** en cualquier momento se apaga
If I charge it with 20 pesos, it gives me some messagesSi 20 pesos le cargo, me regala unos mensajes
Wait, let me check the ticket, I forgot what time I leavePará que busco el pasaje que me olvide a que hora salgo

11:45 PM, I'm getting on seat 2023:45, voy subiendo butaca 20
I won't check the bag, even if it doesn't fit overheadEl bolso no lo despacho, por mas que arriba no entre
I got aisle seat again, damn it, what luckMe tocó otra vez pasillo, la p*** madre, que leche
Sir, I'll change seats for you, I have one left, take itSeñor le cambio el asiento, me queda uno, aproveche

But what crappy people, distrustful and cowardlyPero que gente de mie***, desconfiados y maricas
Let's hope at least I get a girl as a seatmateA ver si al menos me toca de compañera una chica
To chat for a while, it's not that I don't love you anymorePara conversar un rato, no es que a vos ya no te quiera
But the journey is better next to a girlPero la ruta es más buena al lado de una minita

Here comes a big fat guy, please, don't let him sit next to meAhí viene un gordo grandote, por favor, que no me toque
He's checking the seat numbers, the piece of jerkViene orejeando los números el pedazo de energumeno
But what bad luck I have, he almost crushed me passing byPero que chota mi suerte, casi me aplasta al pasar
I asked for the window seat and he laughed out loudLe pedí la ventanilla y se cagó de risa mal

Tonight I should be sleeping with you, my loveEsta noche debería dormir contigo mi amor
I traded you for a fat guy who took the armrestTe cambié por un panzón que ocupó el apoyabrazos
The driver brought fruit bars, damn itEl chofer trajo alfajores de fruta la p*** madre
The bus started almost 10 minutes lateEl colectivo arrancó casi 10 minutos tarde

I don't know if your hurtful answering machine is still recordingNo se si sigue grabando tu contestador hiriente
For a long time now there's been an intermittent toneDesde hace ya un largo rato que hay un tono intermitente
They turned off the lights here, my seat doesn't reclineAcá apagaron las luces, no se reclina mi asiento
They put on a movie I can't read from afarNos pusieron una peli que no alcanzo a leer de lejos

I'll go get myself a coffee, and the fat guy asks for oneVoy a buscarme un café, y el gordo me pide uno
And even though I use a double cup, I burn myself like an idiotY aunque pongo vaso doble me quemo como un boludo
If this message cuts off, it's because I lost signalSi este mensaje se corta es que perdí la señal
I called before leaving, just to say goodbyeLlamaba antes de irme, solo para despedirme
