AMOR DE BARRIO Lyrics English Translation by FERNANDOCOSTA
I take the corner to your house and cross the plaza
Where we met up for the first time on WhatsApp
We went for coffee and your red lips on the cup
The sparkle in your eyes behind those shades
I don’t want you to stress
You were the one who called
And you overthought when I didn’t answer
I told you, but you never believed me, nothing happened
And I apologized with pretty flowers at your window
So you’re my gypsy girl
My porcelain doll
For you, I quit all the bad stuff
You play tough when you want and don’t call me
How many times I waited, and you never showed
I searched for you like a cat in the early dawn
With dark circles, sleepless, barefoot, skin all wrinkled
Sitting on that bench where you used to kiss me
You’d hide if your mom walked by
Babe
I can’t live without your love
You and me, we’re neighborhood love
And after all these years
All I ask is that
Baby, don’t hold a grudge
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just to see you again and fix the damage
With you, I feel like the champion of the world
You were there when I hit rock bottom
Relatives are gone, now they’re departed
But even so, I know that together
We’ll jump over every pothole, baby
I’m not from Miami, but I feel like Tracy
You know with you, I’m going crazy
Focused on the money, I skip all the ladies
I hear your voice and I regain my faith
Like Christ when He speaks, I feel blessed
Before, we couldn’t even make it to payday
Now we leave El Corte Inglés and hit the Japanese spot
So stay calm, we don’t suffer anymore
It wasn’t by chance, and it wasn’t fate
Every year that passes, we get better like wine
And we’re right where we chose to be
I can’t live without your love
You and me, we’re neighborhood love
And after all these years
All I ask is that
Baby, don’t hold a grudge
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just to see you again and fix the damage
A thousand sleepless nights
The more you pull away, the more I want you
Our love can’t be bought with money
And if I’m being honest
I won’t lie to you
I don’t wanna argue again
And have to start from zero
I can’t live without your love
You and me, we’re neighborhood love
And after all these years
All I ask is that
Baby, don’t hold a grudge
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just to see you again and fix the damage
