El Cuarteto de Nos - Pueblo Podrido (English Translation) Lyrics[Intro]
I live in a rotten town
Where everything is rotten
I walk through the darkness at night
Surrounded by trash everywhere
And I’m not going far
On a bus packed with old people
Because I get mugged at gunpoint
By twelve-year-old kids
[Chorus]
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
[Verse 1]
My shoes are soaked
Stepping on loose tiles
The streets give me no break
Dodging horse droppings
And the thieves don’t evеn care
When buying off the cops is so еasy
And when I get home looking for warmth
I have to kick beggars out of the way
[Chorus]
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
[Verse 2]
There’s nothing left to do here
If you stayed, it’s because you never left
And the street corner reeks
It’s either too hot or too cold
Monday night, nowhere to go
But honestly, why even bother?
If my neighbors will beat me up
If I don’t give them money for wine
And if some miserable soul asks me
"Why don’t you just leave this rotten town?"
I tell them, don’t make me angry
Just listen to what I’m saying
[Chorus]
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
This is how I want to be
