Buenos Aires

Je suis si loin, si loin de chez moi

Mais je n'en re-, je n'en reviens pas

J'ai l'impression d'être né hier

Sous un platane argenté et fier

Autour de moi, sous leur nuque longue

Inhalant clopes ni brunes ni blondes

La meute fauve des cartoneros

Et les effluves rauques du Paco

Demente, cansado, pero aun despierto

Luces verdes, calidas, desatan su violencia cruda

Vivacidad incontenible de una ciudad apagada, herida

Deseos eufóricos de alcanzar el alba

Ya !

Nubes de cenizas rojas atormentan la mirada

En Buenos Aires

Ayer, desesperada y viva

El cielo celeste al ras del piso aplasta

Luces rosas se encienden sobre tu cuna rota

Luminosidad insaciable de una ciudad insolente

Ahora

Sedienta, dulce, infantil, infernal y tierna

Siempre

Je suis si bien, suis si bien ici

Que je ne veux plus rentrer à Paris

Échange Flore contre un Kimi Novak

Bombonera contre le prince des parcs

Je suis si loin, si loin de chez moi

Mais jeune con, je ne comprends pas

Pourquoi mon cœur s'emballe comme ça

Pourquoi le ciel a des couleurs

Que je ne soupçonnais pas

Infernal y tierna

Siempre

Sedienta, dulce, infantil

Luminosidad insaciable

Buenos Aires, ayer, ya

Nubes de cenizas rojas atormentan, la mirada

Demente, cansado pero aun despierto

Ahora, voy al Kim & Novak

Me canso, vuelvo, vuelvo a ir

Ya !

Pálidas

Desatan su violencia cruda

Noche en buenos aires

Mi Buenos Aires querido

Je suis rentré, rentré à Paris

Je n'ai plus rien, plus rien à faire ici

Y a pas de Kentucky la nuit

Y a pas ma préférée de toutes les filles

À treize kilomètres et des poussières

J'ai laissé mon vieux cœur de pierre

À treize kilomètres et des poussières

J'ai laissé mon vieux cœur de pierre

Infernal y tierna

Siempre

Sedienta, dulce, infantil

Luminosidad insaciable

Buenos Aires, ayer, ya

Nubes de cenizas rojas atormentan, la mirada

Demente, cansado pero aun despierto

Ahora, voy al Kim & Novak

Me canso, vuelvo, vuelvo a ir

Ya !

Pálidas

Desatan su violencia cruda

Noche en Buenos Aires
