Si las calles pudieran hablar [English translation]

She was the girl from uptown

And he was from the south of the city

That night they ended up

Asleep in a doorway

When she applies herself completely

He can't stop her

An expert in hurting herself

Life is burning her to death

Don't tell me that you know her

If you've never seen her cry

If she's never held out her arms to you

If you've never seen her shake

She was the girl from uptown

And it'll always be for her

The mystery of a tree

That falls in complete solitude1

If you see her around her on your way through2

Tell her that he still remembers her

He's still searching for someone

Like her.

If you see her around her on your way through

Tell her that he still remembers her

He's still searching for someone

Like her.

If the streets could talk

About what nobody tell you

And separate reality

From the legend

He only digs up his memory

Between cans of beer

And sadness is infinite

In his gazelle eyes.

She was the girl from uptown

The girl from uptown
