El aire de la calle [English translation]

I get up early and I get to work

with my guitar in hand, I never stop singing

They call me "The barefoot one"because in the winter I wear flip-flops

I do that to get noticed in the morning chill

All day on the street, in the little square, taking in the air

I'm a bohemian of the life that has nothing in common

With the noble moustaches that stroll through Jerez

I no longer have obligations, I have nothing more to do

The puddles in the square when it stops raining,

the days of colors, in the square smoking weed.

The air of the street smells like fresh rubber to me

I take it in, I smoke it, and get away up the hill

I love you, I love you like pears love pear trees

I love you, I love you when I lose and when I win

Pants without pockets but the threads aren't bitter

I sing to you on the avenue, from the bench I sing on Calle Larga1

I'll sing the same fandango that I sang to you in Triana

I only want forty coins2 so I can sleep in a bed

I don't want love affairs, I'm a vagabond and lover of the night

The air of the street smells like fresh rubber to me

I take it in, I smoke it, and get away up the hill

What a pity, look what a pity, my lighter doesn't have a flint3

Who could, who could paint odors in the sand.

I have black poison in my blood

On my arms I have five tatoos

I never cry because I live in carnivals

I put on my mask and take to the streets

And I take to the streets, and I take to the streets

And I take...to the streets.
