Eran las cinco 'e la mañana
It was five in the morning
Un seminarista, un obrero
A seminarian, a worker
Con mil papeles de solvencia
With a thousand papers of solvency
Que no les dan pa' ser sinceros
That don't help them to be honest
Eran las siete 'e la mañana
It was seven in the morning
Y uno por uno al matadero
And one by one to the slaughterhouse
Pues cada cual tiene su precio
For every man has his price
Buscando visa para un sueño
Looking for a visa for a dream
(Bairorá, laralá...)
(Bairorá, laralá...)
El sol quemándoles la entraña, ¡uf!
The sun burning their insides, ugh!
Un formulario de consuelo
A form of comfort
Con una foto dos por cuatro
With a two-by-four photo
Que se derrite en el silencio
That melts in the silence
Eran las nueve 'e la mañana
It was nine in the morning
Santo domingo, ocho de enero
Santo Domingo, January eighth
Con la paciencia que se acaba
With patience running out
Pues ya no hay visa para un sueño
For there is no visa for a dream
¡Oh! Oh...
Oh! Oh...
Buscando visa para un sueño
Searching for a visa for a dream
Buscando visa para un sueño
Searching for a visa for a dream
Buscando visa de cemento y cal
Searching for a visa of cement and lime
Y en el asfalto quién me va a encontrar
And in the asphalt, who will find me
Buscando visa para un sueño (¡oh!)
Searching for a visa for a dream (oh!)
Buscando visa para un sueño
Searching for a visa for a dream
Buscando visa, la razón de ser
Searching for a visa, the reason to be
Buscando visa para no volver
Searching for a visa to not return
Buscando visa para un sueño (¡oh!)
Searching for a visa for a dream (oh!)
Buscando visa para un sueño
Searching for a visa for a dream
Buscando visa, la necesidad
Searching for a visa, the necessity
Buscando visa, qué rabia me da
Searching for a visa, it drives me crazy
Buscando visa, golpe de poder
Searching for a visa, a punch of power
Buscando visa, qué mas puedo hacer
Searching for a visa, what more can I do
Buscando visa, para naufragar
Searching for a visa, to be shipwrecked
Buscando visa, carne de la mar
Searching for a visa, flesh of the sea
Buscando visa, la razón de ser
Searching for a visa, the reason to be
Buscando visa, para no volver
Searching for a visa, to never return
