Pólvora de Ayer Lyrics English Translation by Residente
Here there’s no time to waste, we came here to drink
Like they’ll never see me again because I’m about to unleash
I’ve got gunpowder from yesterday, and today I’m going to shoot it
I took flight and I won’t come down
Here there’s no time to waste, we came here to drink
Like they’ll never see me again because I’m about to unleash
I’ve got gunpowder from yesterday, and today I’m going to shoot it
I took flight and I won’t come down
I’m awake, living as if I had died
My life falls apart when I leave the box
Living on the edge of the razor
Without worry, with my head inside a lion’s mouth
Rum without ice and lemon to feel the heat
Walking barefoot over the fire
Running naked without pants
They won’t stop me, not even with an injection
Wild without using reason
Like the primates of the theory of evolution
I’ll kiss strangers
And give them the best night of their lives
We’re so special
That the fireworks go off on their own
Like winning the World Cup
Today we win even if it’s by penalties
The chaos is so intense
That after all this, they’ll build a monument for us
They’ll write stories, novels, and tales
And in the year 2700
They’ll celebrate the date of our damn birth
Here there’s no time to waste, we came here to drink
Like they’ll never see me again because I’m about to unleash
I’ve got gunpowder from yesterday, and today I’m going to shoot it
I took flight and I won’t come down
The whole crew as if they just got out of prison
We leave the confessions for tomorrow
Some ask for permission, others ask for forgiveness
Always against the waves
In fresh or saltwater
If grenades fall from the sky
Either way, we learn to make lemonade
With a starry gaze, people kissing without being in love
And continue the evening by getting tattoos that mean nothing
Under the mud rain, we’ll give ourselves a soaping, I don’t rule it out
And wake up looking out a window that isn’t our own
Here there’s no time to waste, we came here to drink
Like they’ll never see me again because I’m about to unleash
I’ve got gunpowder from yesterday, and today I’m going to shoot it
I took flight and I won’t come down
Here there’s no time to waste, we came here to drink
Like they’ll never see me again because I’m about to unleash
I’ve got gunpowder from yesterday, and today I’m going to shoot it
I took flight and I won’t come down
