Yo no quiero volverme tan loco [English translation]

I don't want to go all to crazy!

I don't want to dress myself in red!

I don't want to die in the world today!

I don't want to see you so sad!

I don't want to know what you just did!

I don't want this sadness in my heart!

I hear the beat of a drum amidst the desolation,

And a radio at a desert street.

The doors are all closed and the windows too.

Couldn't it be that our people are all dead?

I sense the death of love in the age of colour;

Televisions are in the shop windows.

And all that people with their fat-soaked skin

don't realize the world is turning around.

I don't want to get into trouble!

I don't want any burning issues!

All I'm saying is but it's all a downer.

I don't want to rise anarchy!

I don't want to live after what they say!

I have something beating inside my heart!

I hear a tango and some rock, and I sense it's me,

And I'd like to see the world being on a party.

I see so many castrated girls and so many fools

That I don't know if I'll continue answering.

I want to see lots of crazy people everywhere,

Dancing on any other street.

In Buenos Aires you see theres no time for anything;

Happyness is not only a brazilian thing! No baby!

I don't want to live like a paranoid!

I don't want to see children in hatred!

I don't want to feel this depression!

I'm looking for the plesasure of being alive,

And I don't care if I'm a rascal.

I go kicking garbage down the alley.

I don't want to go all to crazy!

I don't want to dress myself in red!

I don't want to die in the world today!

I don't want to see you so sad!

I don't want to know what you just did!

I don't want this sadness in my heart!
