Esta fue la noche oscura
This was the dark night
La decadencia se respira
Decay hangs in the air
Lo underground está de moda
The underground is in style
Así se espera
That's how it's expected
Todas las noches que ocurra
Every night that it happens
Algo va a suceder
Something is going to happen
El alcohol nos va a embrutecer
The alcohol is going to numb us
Mujeres se van a perder
Women are going to get lost
Algo va a suceder
Something is going to happen
El alcohol nos va a embrutecer
The alcohol is going to numb us
Mujeres se van a perder
Women are going to get lost
Esta fue la noche oscura
This was the dark night
Y en transporte subterráneo llegamos
And by subway we arrived
Por eso estas canciones cantamos
That's why we sing these songs
"La Oscura Noche" y "La Negra"
"The Dark Night" and "The Black"
Algo va a suceder
Something is going to happen
El alcohol nos va a embrutecer
The alcohol is going to dull us
Mujeres se van a perder
Women are going to get lost
Algo va a suceder
Something is going to happen
El alcohol nos va a embrutecer
The alcohol is going to dull us
Mujeres se van a perder
Women are going to get lost
Noche oscura en Garibaldi
Dark night in Garibaldi
Todos de negro vamos
We all dress in black
Noche oscura en Garibaldi
Dark night in Garibaldi
Y como buenos charros cantamos
And like good charros, we sing
Charros negros borrachos
Drunken black charros
Charros negros mareados
Dizzy black charros
Charros negros ahogados
Drowned black charros
Charros negros borrachos
Drunken black charros
