Lyrics
Centro De Gravedad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Una vieja de Madrid con un sombrero,
un paraguas de papel de arroz y caña de bambú.
Capitanes valerosos, listos contrabandistas noctámbulos.
Jesuitas en acción vestidos como unos bonzos
en antiguas cortes con emperadores de la dinastía Ming
Busco un centro de gravedad permanente
que no varíe lo que ahora pienso de las cosas, de la gente,
yo necesito un... cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose, sulla gente.
Over and over again.
En las calles era Mayo y caminábamos juntos
cortando entre bromas manojos de ortigas.
No soporto ciertas modas,
la falsa música rock, la new wave española,
el free jazz, punkie inglés, ni la monserga africana.
Busco un centro de gravedad permanente,
que no varíe lo que ahora pienso de las cosas, de la gente,
yo necesito un...
Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose, sulla gente.
Over and over again.
