Llevas Una Estrella En Tu Vientre | You Are Carrying A Star In Your Belly |
Era el proceso mensual mas tardio de su historia. Fue a una amiga del colegio a la que le compartió su memoria. Le contó que dos meses atrás con aquel muchacho fugaz Hicieron tremendo pastel en aquel viejo hotel El anciano facultativo Despues de las pruebas anunció el positivo Y para esas alturas el futuro padre ya era un fugitivo Y mientras un rotativo Anuncia la trillada utopía de la deuda externa A esa niña le fabrica su pecho una sabia materna Coro: Llevas una estrella en tu vientre Llevas una vida que late Un posible ingeniero, roquero o escritor Quizá bohemio, quizá un señor Quizá compositor, poeta medio loco o troubadour Quizá una idea, quizá una solución Buscaba entre sus amigas el mejor de los consejos Que iban desde una inyección hasta una sopa de cangrejos Y sin la menor precaución los medicos le dieron su cotización Mientras le anuncian en la tele otra devaluación Coro A esa estrella en tu vientre no le digas detente. Si lo hubiesen hecho conmigo Hoy faltaria una canción |
It was the latest monthly process in your history. It was a friend from school with whom you shared your memory. You told her that two months ago you made an enormous cake With that fleeting boy in that old hotel The elderly physician After the tests, announced ‘positive’ And at this point, the father-to-be was already a fugitive And while a daily newspaper Announces the hackneyed utopia of foreign debt A wise mother is making her breast for that girl Chorus: You are carrying a star in your belly You are carrying a life that is beating A potential engineer, rocker, or writer Maybe a bohemian, maybe a gentleman Maybe a composer, half crazy poet or a troubadour Maybe an idea, maybe a solution You were looking for the best advice among your friends Ranging from an injection to crab soup And without the slightest precaution the doctors gave you their price While they are announcing another devaluation on the telly Chorus Do not say “Stop” to that star in your belly. If it had been done to me A song would be missing today |
