KILOMETROZERO Lyrics English Translation by Recycled J
I’m from Madrid, from the place where I was born (beneath the river’s flow)
I’m sorry, Conchi, you know I love you a lot
Uncle Pepe knows it too, and so does the sundial
Almudena dances, and so does San Isidro Labrador
Today, even the youngest ones are dressed up for the occasion
It smells like whiskey and wine, just like at a communion, yes
My knife sparkles if the sharpener has passed by, no
There are no rainbows in the city of neon lights
They’re lines of colors, like the Capitol’s Schweppes
Green awnings, gray buildings, the concrete shines
Textured walls and heat for everyone who started with me (Who are they?)
A kiss for Fer and another for Gon
At the Bombilla park, there were circles and drinking sessions
With North Face jackets and TN shoes, we smoked M at Debod (Ha)
Love for all those who started but eventually quit
I’m proud today to be the voice of my generation
I was born in Usera, Carabanchel raised me
That’s why I wear this mix of delinquency and Nacha Pop
God bless Chico Gris and Recycled, my religion
Although I recycled my faith and I’m not quite sure what love is
We’ve experienced storms, it’s normal that we now celebrate
And toast with broken bottles for those who’ve gone away
When your favorite rapper was my opening act
At ground zero, I’m from ground zero, hey-yo
I’m from Madrid, from the place where I was born (Uh-ah!)
I’m sorry, Conchi, you know I love you a lot
Uncle Pepe knows it too, and so does the sundial
Almudena dances, and so does San Isidro Labrador (Yo)
I’m from Madrid, from the place where I was born (Where I was born)
I’m sorry, Conchi, you know I love you a lot (A lot)
Uncle Pepe knows it too, and so does the sundial (Yeah)
Ground zero, ZERO NEGATIVE, we are
The guy from “Valga la Pena” (Valga la Pena)
The one who shines more than his chain
Two ears I took in Las Ventas (Uh-ah!)
Between the dry river and the M-30
In Eugenia de Montijo, my cousins from the heart
The prefixes and all the children who came after us
My music in all the parks, from Butarque to Alcorcón
Reaching the Fabrik parking lot, rapping in the Megatron
Before they tore down the prison and the Calderón stadium
Long before Cedoble became Recycled
Before they built this cardboard palace
Long before filling venues and chasing after millions
I already waved my flag at Colón Square
From Cibeles and Neptuno to the Plaza Mayor
You can’t put a price on the dragon medallion
I’m proud today to be the voice of my generation
I put a hundred in Republik and five hundred in Changó
A year later, I filled the Ochoymedio and Barceló
I dedicated those to my cousin who passed away
Although I recycled my faith and I’m not quite sure what love is
They think it’s about the money or filling La Riviera
The whole club, and I could have left with anyone
They saw me leaving with a blonde and a brunette
Through the main door, and by my side, each of my grandmothers, ha
I’m from Madrid, from the place where I was born (beneath the river’s flow)
I’m sorry, Conchi, you know I love you a lot (Yes)
Uncle Pepe knows it too, and so does the sundial
Almudena dances, and so does San Isidro Labrador (Yo)
I’m from Madrid, from the place where I was born (Where I was born)
I’m sorry, Conchi, you know I love you a lot (A lot)
Uncle Pepe knows it too, and so does the sundial
Ground zero, ZERO NEGATIVE, we are
