Accidente

by Luis Días

on La Yola (1999), El Accidente (1998)

Fito sufró un accidente
En la avenida principal
Que lo tuvo casi al borde de la muerte
Huyendo de la presencia
Escondida de un radar
Se salió de los linderos
Y dio vueltas
Cuando volvió a su cabeza
Todo parecía normal
Se quiso limpiar el polvo de su t-shirt

Su cráneo era una vitrina
Llena de rayas y trazos
Por los golpes contundentes recibidos
Aunque a Joe no le imporara
Ni tampoco lo sintiera
La radio seguía encendida

Y la gente se acercaba
Para ver el accidente
Un carro militar hacía rudos
La gente comentaba inquieta
Donde hangueaba
Hacían un interrogatorio brutal y siniestro
Miró el retrovisor
Y tras una barba verde
Lloraba Cristo o Kurt Cobain
Donde hubo mar
Quedaban piscinas
Donde hubo bares solo verjas
Donde hubo multitudes
Calles vacías

===== ENGLISH APPROXIMATION =====
Fito suffered an accident on the main street
Which had him almost on the verge of death
Fleeing from the presence, hiding from radar
He left the boundaries and returned
And when he returned to his head
Everything seemed normal
He just wanted to dust off his t-shirt

His skull was a showcase
Full of stripes and strokes
By the forceful blows received
Although it wan't important to this guy
Because he didn't feel it
He only heard the radio playing

And people were approaching
To see the accident
A rude military car passed
While people commented uneasily
A jangling sound
They made a brutal and sinister interrogation
Determining that he was looking in the rearview mirror
Following a green beard
Of Christ or Kurt Cobain weeping
Where there was a sea of swimming pools
Where the bars were only gates
In multitudes of empty streets
