Charly Garcia - Demoliendo Hoteles
Yo que nací con Videla
yo que nací sin poder
yo que luché por la libertad
y nunca la pude tener.
Yo que viví entre fachistas
yo que morí en el altar
yo que crecí con los que estaban bien
pero a la noche estaba todo mal.
Hoy pasó el tiempo,
demoliendo hoteles
mientras los plomos juntan los cables
cazan rehenes.
Hoy pasó el tiempo,
demoliendo hoteles
mientras los chicos allá en la esquina
pegan carteles.

Yo fui educado con odio
y odiaba la humanidad
un día me fui con los hippies y
tuve un amor y mucho más.
Ahora no estoy más tranquilo,
y por qué tendría que estar
todos crecimos sin entender
y todavía me siento un anormal.
Hoy pasó el tiempo,
demoliendo hoteles
mientras los plomos juntan los cables
cazan rehenes.
Hoy pasó el tiempo,
demoliendo hoteles
mientras los chicos allá en la esquina
pegan carteles.
Charly Garcia - Demolishing Hotels (English translation)
I who was born with Videla*
I who was born without power
I who struggled for freedom
and never was able to have it,
I who lived among fascists
I who died on the altar
I who grew up with the ones who were okay
but at night everything was wrong.
Today I pass the time,
demolishing hotels
while the fuses join the cables
they hunt for hostages.
Today I pass the time,
demolishing hotels
while the guys there on the cornerCharly Garcia - Demoliendo Hoteles - http://motolyrics.com/charly-garcia/demoliendo-hoteles-lyrics-english-translation.html
put up posters.
I was educated with hate
and I hated humanity
one day I left with the hippies and I had a love and also much more.
Now I'm not more calm,
and why would it have to be
we all grow up without understanding
and still I feel abnormal
Today I pass the time,
demolishing hotels
while the fuses join the cables
they hunt for hostages.
Today I pass the time,
demolishing hotels
while the guys there on the corner
put up posters.
