Prostitutas salen del lugar de los hechos
Prostitutes come out from the scene of the crime
Los amantes prohibidos se aman sin velo
Forbidden lovers love each other without a veil
Es muy tarde, ya si yo se que es muy tarde
It's too late, yes I know it's too late
Y una decadencia se respira en el aire
And a decay hangs in the air
El alcohol que da otro aspecto a las cosas
The alcohol gives a different look to things
Aun la calle parece muy transitada
Even the street seems very busy
Una zona en que todo esta vivo
A zone where everything is alive
Vivo como el fantasma de un amigo
Alive like the ghost of a friend
Es una nostalgia, una decadencia
It's a nostalgia, a decay
Algo divertido, pero es un gran miedo a la soledad
Something fun, but there's a great fear of loneliness
No se apagan nunca aqui, las grandes luces
The bright lights never go out here,
Amanece y nunca nadie se da cuenta
Dawn breaks and no one ever notices,
Parece que otro dia va a comenzar otra vez
It seems like another day is about to start all over again,
Pero a mi no me veran hasta el anochecer
But they won't see me until the night falls,
Es una nostalgia, un morir muy joven
It's a nostalgia, a dying very young,
Un olor a antro, del cual nunca puedo yo escapar
A scent of the club, from which I can never escape.
