Ricardo Arjona - Llevas Una Estrella En Tu Vientre

Lyrics & Music: Edgar Ricardo Arjona Morales

Llevas Una Estrella En Tu VientreYou 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
