Joaquin Sabina "El rocanrol de los idiotas" lyrics

Translation to:en

El rocanrol de los idiotas

Yo no tení­a ganas de reír,Tú reí­as para no llorar;Yo le guiñaba un ojo a mi nariz,Tú consolabas a tu soledad

Yo sin ninguna escoba que vender,Tú con mil y una noches que olvidar;A mí­ no me querí­a una mujer,A ti se te morí­a una ciudad

Tú habí­as perdido el último autobús,A mí­ me habí­an echado de otro bar;Los mismos alfileres de vudú,El mismo cuento que termina mal

Pero quiso el cieloBautizar el sueloCon su gota a gotaY con champú de arenaPara tu melenaDe muñeca rotaY tu mirada azulMe dijo a cara o cruzY mi alma de tahurLo puso a doble o nadaY los peces de colores de mis botasY tus marchitos zapatitos de tacónLocos por naufragarSalieron a bailarAl ritmo de la lluvia sobre las capotasEl rocanrol de los idiotas

Yo no vení­a de ningún paí­s,Tú ibas camino de cualquier lugar;Conmigo no contaba el porvenir,De ti no se acordaba el verbo "amar"

Yo no jugaba para no perder,Tú hacias trampas para no ganar;Yo no rezaba para no creer,Tú no besabas para no soñarY sin equí­vocos de vodevilNi alertas rojas en el corazónEl dios de la tormenta quiso abrirLa caja de los truenos y tronó,Porque quiso el cieloAcariciar el sueloCon su gota a gotaY con champú de arenaPara tu melenaDe muñeca rota

Qué disparate dePartida de ajedrezCon un partenaireAdicta al jaque mateY tu bolso como un nido de gaviotasY mi futuro con pan duro en el cajónLocos por naufragarSalieron a bailarAl ritmo de la lluvia sobre las capotasEl rocanrol de los idiotas

Capeando el temporalSalieron a bailarComo dos locos bajo el chaparrón de notasDel rocanrol de los idiotas

El rocanrol,El rocanrol de los idiotasComo tu y como yoEl rocanrol de los idiotas

Se marcó la calleCon aquel detalleDe dejarnos solos

El rocanrol de los idiotasY por casualidadComenzó a tocarLa flauta de Bartolo

El rocanrol de los idiotasGo Johnny go, go, goEl rocanrol de los idiotasAll you need is loveY bailarEl rocanrol de los idiotasA vam ba baluba balam bam bu

Tutti fruttiEl rocanrol de los idiotasDon't worryEl rocanrol de los idiotas

The Rock and Roll of Fools

I wasn't feeling like laughing,You were laughing to not cry;I was winking at my nose,You were consoling your solitude.

I wasn't having a broom for sale1,You were having one thousand and one nights to forget;There wasn't even a woman loving me,Your city was dying out.

You had missed the last bus,They had thrown me out of another bar;The same voodoo pins,The same story which ends up badly.

But Heaven wouldBaptize the groundWith its drop by dropAnd with sand shampooFor your broken-dollMane.And your blue glanceTold me: let's toss for it,And my gambler souldoubled it down.And my boots like coloured fishAnd your faded, heeled little shoes,mad about to be wrecked,They went out to dance,In time to the rain over the hoods,The Rock and Roll of Fools.

I wasn't coming from any country,You were on your way to everywhere;The future wasn't counting on me,The verb "love" wasn't remembering you.

I wasn't playing so as not to lose,You were cheating so as not to win;I wasn't praying so as not to believe,You weren't kissing so as not to dream.And, without vaudeville misunderstandingsOr red alerts in heart,The storm god would openPandora's box so there were thunder,Because Heaven wouldCaress the groundWith its drop by dropAnd with sand shampooFor your broken-dollMane.

How absurd thatChess gameWith a partnerWho was addict to checkmate!And your handbag like a seagull nestAnd my future with stale bread in chest.Being mad about to be wrecked,They went out to dance,In time to the rain over the hoods,The Rock and Roll of Fools.

Riding out the storm,They went out to danceLike two madmen under the shower of notesOf the Rock and Roll of Fools.

The Rock and Roll,The Rock and Roll of FoolsLike me and you,The Rock and Roll of Fools.

The street hadA nice touch with usLeaving us alone.

The Rock and Roll of Fools.And by chanceit started to playThe Bartolo's flute2.

The Rock and Roll of Fools.Go Johnny go, go, go.The Rock and Roll of Fools.All you need is love.And dancingThe Rock and Roll of Fools.A wamba buluba balam bambu.

Tutti frutti.The Rock and Roll of Fools.Don't worry.The Rock and Roll of Fools.
