La ciudad de los palacios
The city of palaces
Va dejendo paso a el alba
makes way for the dawn.
Se va perdiendo la calma
By the time the sun is up
Para cuando el sol asoma
the peace and quiet's all but gone.
Todo el esplendor decrece
All the splendour is diminished as
La gente en las calles toma
people are drinking on the streets;
Catedral desaparece entre smog
the cathedral fades from sight, between the smog
Y caca de paloma
and the poop of doves.
