Tercer Mundo [English translation]

Many years ago a man dreamed,

a huge, a huge empire...

He had a good face and he didn't stop talking

with the most loved and hated man of the place...

And he dreamed to have a garden in flower

a Mexico land at the feet,

with all kind of brothers

and in the dream he shouted:

I'm sinking, I'm sinking, I'm sinking.

And nobody knows how I ended.

La mona Giménez 1 with Mickey Rourke

looking at the girls of the Puticlub 2

the rock band that most girls wanted

entering boys in the Caracas Hilton.

Coca-Coca-Coca-Coca Cola.

Coca-Coca-Coca-Coca...

Pinochet won't be hungry

the day they kick him out.

I kept walking and I arrived to a disco

Gaddafi dancing with a minister

he asked for oil and they didn't gave'em

they gave'em Fernet which is a good poison.

Fabi Cantilo 4 kicked out Henry Miller

because it was too late and because his writings

Henry didn't matter of any of that

and ended in the bed with Salomón 5.

There go Pimpinela 6on the fifth avenue

the Madison 7up to eleven. Argentina is on fire

Caligula wakes up from his hibernation

he gets on stage and fucks the two of them.

El gordo Porcel 8sings rock

and smokes the Billie Bond's 9 weed.

And they keep planning something in Bolivia

to marry Almodovar with a little girl.

And everybody wants to come first

What a weird dream is the one of this yoke

here the doors never end.

Batato 11playing with Maradona

all alone in the Boca stadium.

And I keep walking and I got in a bar

and it was already daylight and it wasn't true.

Andrés Calamaro and Lou Reed

thinking in getting out of here.

Outside the boys in the city

I think they don't dream anymore.

I don't want more Bunge & Born 12 dollars

baby I come home to dream of you.

And in the house I shout: I'm sinking, I'm sinking.

And nobody knows how I ended

in the third world

Third World.
