Corazón de Neon [English translation]

The city where I live

has grown with its back turned to heaven,

the city where I live

is the map of loneliness.

To whomever arrives, it gives a piece of candy

filled with the poison of anxiety,

the city where I live

is my jail and my freedom.

The city where I live

is an ogre with golden teeth,

a luxury lover

that I always wanted to seduce.

The city brings together God and the Devil,

the state worker and the transvestite,

the city where I live

is a child cleaning an assault rifle.

Heart, heart, heart, heart made of cement

Heart, heart, heart, heart made of concrete

Heart, heart, heart, sick with pollution,

Heart, heart, heart, neon heart.

The city where I live

is a seven headed monster,

it´s a wounded bird

wrapped in cellophane.

An immense beer keg

that could blow up at any moment,

the city where I live

is the temple of good and evil.
