À Palo Seco [English translation]

If you come ask me where I've have been

In those days when you used to dream

With wide open eyes, I would answer you:

"Friend, I was falling in despair"

I know that with me talking like this you may think

That this despair is fashionable in '76

But lately I've been feeling a little heavy-hearted

Desperately I scream in Portuguese

But I've been heavy-hearted indeed

Desperately I scream in Portuguese

I'm 25 years of dreams and blood

And of South America

By virtue of chance

An Argentinian tango

Does me much better than a blues

I know that with me talking like this you may think

That this despair is fashionable in '76

And what I really want is that this crooked corner,

Like a knife, cut through your flesh

And what I really want is that this crooked corner,

Like a knife, cut through your flesh

I'm 25 years of dreams and blood

And of South America

By virtue of chance

An Argentinian tango

Does me much better than a blues

I know that with me talking like this you may think

That this despair is fashionable in '76

And what I really want is that this bent melody,

Like a knife, cut through your flesh

And what I really want is that this bent melody,

Like a knife, cut through your flesh
