Estás buscando un viejo camisón
You're looking for an old nightgown
Estás buscando alguna religión
You're searching for some religion
Estás buscando un símbolo de paz
You're looking for a symbol of peace
Estás buscando un incienso ya
You're looking for some incense now
Estás buscando un sueño en el placard
You're searching for a dream in the closet
Estás buscando un símbolo de paz
You're looking for a symbol of peace
Y damos vueltas a la heladera
And we circle around the fridge
Y solo queda un limón sin exprimir
And there's just one lemon left unpressed
Nos divertimos en primavera
We have fun in the springtime
Y en invierno nos queremos morir
And in winter we want to die
Estás buscando un porro de papá
You're looking for a joint from daddy
Estás buscando un saco de mamá
You're looking for a bag from mommy
Porque si nada queda, nada da
Because if nothing remains, nothing gives
Estás buscando un incienso ya
You're looking for some incense now
Estás buscando un sueño en el placard
You're looking for a dream in the closet
Estás buscando un símbolo de paz
You're looking for a symbol of peace
Y damos vuelta a la discoteca
And we turn the nightclub around
Y ya no quedan ganas de sonreír
And there's no longer a desire to smile
Nos divertimos en primavera
We have fun in spring
Y en invierno nos queremos morir
And in winter we want to die
Será porque nos queremos sentir bien
It must be because we want to feel good
Que ahora estamos bailando entre la gente
That now we’re dancing among the crowd
Será porque nos queremos sentir bien
It must be because we want to feel good
Que ahora todo suena diferente
That now everything sounds different
Estás buscando un símbolo de paz
You’re looking for a symbol of peace
Estás buscando un símbolo de paz
You’re looking for a symbol of peace
Y damos vueltas a la heladera
And we’re spinning around the fridge
Y solo queda un limón sin exprimir
And there’s only one lemon left to squeeze
Nos divertimos en primavera
We have fun in springtime
Y en invierno nos queremos morir
And in winter we want to die
Será porque nos queremos sentir bien
Maybe it's because we want to feel good
Que ahora estamos bailando entre la gente
That now we're dancing among the crowd
Será porque nos queremos sentir bien
Maybe it's because we want to feel good
Que ahora todo será diferente
That now everything will be different
