Yo A Boston Y Tú A Tijuana Lyrics English Translation by Melendi
At the bar of some dive where the lions drown their sorrows
Where you drink good tequila, make bad decisions
I met the cutest girl with that rocker look
When I asked for her name, she said, “Whatever you want”
I said, “Desire, goddess of atheists, never leave me again”
She said, “European, I’ll pretend I don’t see your bad intentions”
And between drinks and songs by the Stones and Spinetta
We ended up naked dancing on Playa Caleta
What’s a piece of paper worth
When we’re walking around without clothes
What’s a piece of paper worth when you’ve worn out the skin
The fish dies by its mouth
What’s a piece of paper worth
If there’s no weed left
What’s a piece of paper worth when the day after tomorrow
I’m off to Boston and you’re off to Tijuana
Stars like little lanterns and a couple of onlookers
On the sand we fought nonstop like gladiators
We sewed the moon’s mouth shut with infinite thread
And I drank all the foam from your sea, don’t know if I’m making sense
It happened in Acapulco, it was the last stop of the Mexican tour
My worst enemy, which was always the booze, gave up its spot to dawn
I said, “Come to the States
We’ll own the map
We’ll take Route 66 in an old Cadillac”
What’s a piece of paper worth
When we’re walking around without clothes
What’s a piece of paper worth when you’ve worn out the skin
The fish dies by its mouth
What’s a piece of paper worth
If there’s no weed left
What’s a piece of paper worth when the day after tomorrow
I’m off to Boston and you’re off to Tijuana
You showed me the forbidden
Now it’s time to find the way
You showed me the forbidden, eh
You showed me the forbidden and now it’s time to find the way
You showed me the forbidden
