That "I do not know what"...

Buenos Aires

En Buenos Aires brilla el sol
y un par de pibes,
en la esquina, inventan una solución.
En Buenos Aires todo vuela, la alegría,
la anarquía, la bondad, la desesperación.
Y Buenos Aires es un bicho que camina,
ensortijado entre los sueños y la confusión.
En Buenos Aires descubrí que el día
hace la guerra, la noche el amor.

Fito Páez (fragmento)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In Buenos Aires sun shines
and a couple of kids,
at the corner, invent a solution.
In Buenos Aires everything flies, the joy,
the anarchy, the goodness, the desperation.
And Buenos Aires is a bug that walks
kinky between the dreams and the confusion.
In Buenos Aires I discovered that day
makes war, night makes love.

Fito Páez (fragment)
