The afternoons in Buenos Aires have a certain 'je ne sais quoi', you see?
You leave your house, walking down Arenales Avenue
The usual stuff on the street and in you,
When, suddenly, from behind a tree, I show up.
A weird mixture of the next to last drifter and the first stowaway
On the trip to Venus.
A half melon on my head
A striped shirt painted on my skin
Two shoe-leathers on my feet
And a little free-taxi flag up in each hand
You laugh! But only you can see me
Because mannequins wink at me
The traffic lights give me three azure lights
And the oranges at the corner grocery give me its blossoms
Come on!
That doing this, half dancing and half flying
I take the melon off my head to greet you
I give you one of my little flags
And I finally tell you...
(Sung)
I know that I'm crazy, crazy, crazy
Can't you see the moon rolling through Callao?
That a bunch of astronauts and children
Are waltzing around me... Dance, come, fly.
I know that I'm crazy, crazy, crazy
I see Buenos Aires from the nest of a sparrow
And I saw you so sad; come, fly, feel this crazy desire
That I have for you.
Crazy, crazy, crazy
When night finally falls on your porteña* loneliness,
By the shore of your sheets I'll come with a poem
And a trombone to keep your heart sleepless.
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Like a demented acrobat I'll jump
Into the abyss of your cleavage until I feel
I drove your heart crazy with freedom
You'll see.
(Recited)
Let's fly, my dear
Get on my super-sport illusion
And let's go running over the cornises
With a swallow in the engine.
From Vieytes they applaud,
"Hurray, hurray...
Those crazies who invented love!"
And an angel, a soldier and a girl
Give us a dancing waltz.
Good people come out to greet us
And crazy, but yours... I don't know
I provoke the steeples with my laugh
And, finally, I look at you and sing softly...
(Sung)
Love me this way,crazy, crazy, crazy...
Climb up into this crazy terderness I have inside of me,
Put on this wig of larks and fly
Come and fly with me now:
Come and love me this way, crazy, crazy, crazy
Open up your love, let's try
This totally crazy magic of reviving
(Recited)
Come, fly, come!
Hurray, hurray, you crazies!
Crazies!
We are all crazy, hurray!
She is crazy and so am I!
