Vivo a través de una ilusión
I live through an illusion
Vivo en una causa perdida
I live in a lost cause
Vivo a través de una canción
I live through a song
Así es todos los días
That's how it is every day
Hay amor, hay dolor
There is love, there is pain
Todavía
Still
Hoy, hoy
Today, today
Vivo en una casa, vivo en una casa
I live in a house, I live in a house
Vivo en una casa vacía
I live in an empty house
Si querés tocar, tocá
If you want to touch, go ahead
De eso depende la vida
That's what life depends on
Si querés amar, amá
If you want to love, love
Eso es tu derecho de vida
That's your right to live
Oh, yo
Oh, me
Todavía
Still
Oh, mi amor
Oh, my love
Vivo en una casa, vivo en una casa
I live in a house, I live in a house
Vivo en una casa vacía
I live in an empty house
La vanguardia es así
The avant-garde is like this
Si querés chupar, chupá
If you want to drink, drink
Queda un lugar todavía, ¡auh!
There’s still a place left, oh!
Si querés tocar, tocá
If you want to play, play
Saltaré mi amor, cobraré tu amor
I’ll jump my love, I’ll earn your love
Daré vueltas toda la vida
I’ll spin around all my life
Hoy, hoy (hoy)
Today, today (today)
En una casa, vivo en una casa
In a house, I live in a house
Vivo en una casa, vivo en una casa
I live in a house, I live in a house
No, thank
No, thank you
Si querés ganar, ganá
If you want to win, win
Nadie puede perder la vida
No one can lose their life
Si querés mirar, mirá
If you want to look, look
Esto tiene muchas salidas
This has many exits
Pero vos sos vos, yo soy yo (vos)
But you are you, and I am me (you)
Yo soy yo todavía (por eso)
I am still me (that’s why)
Vivo en una casa, vivo en una casa
I live in a house, I live in a house
Vivo en-
I live in-
Abajo de la tierra
Under the ground
La entrada es gratis (la salida vemos)
The entrance is free (the exit, we'll see)
Dónde se van a esconder
Where are they going to hide
Pueden desapare-
They can disappear-
(They took your shit)
(They took your shit)
¡Ay!
Oh!
Ah
Ah
Casa vacía (vivo en una casa)
Empty house (I live in a house)
Casa vacía
Empty house
Yeah
Yeah
