Hace muchos años en la calle 83
Many years ago on 83rd Street
En un edificio construido con los pies
In a building built with your feet
De buenos cimientos y una vista doble al mar
Good foundations and a double sea view
Donde se sentia que algo extraño iba a pasar
Where it felt that something strange was going to happen
Y los de arriba festejaban noche y dia
And those upstairs celebrated night and day
Y los de abajo se quejaban del relajo
And the people downstairs complained about the relax
Y los del centro, y los del centro
And the ones in the center, and the ones in the center
Esperando su momento
Waiting for your moment
Nunca supo claro quien cuidaba el edificio
It was never clear who was looking after the building
Pero todos juntos vivian en un paraiso
But all together lived in paradise
No hay agua caliente, y la luz se va a las 6
There's no hot water, and the light's going at 6
Y con solo un ascensor mejor bajar a pie
And with just one better elevator down on foot
Y los de arriba compraron generadores
And the ones upstairs bought generators
Y los de abajo leen con velas de colores
And the ones below read with colorful candles
Y los del centro, y los del centro
And the ones in the center, and the ones in the center
Estaban de vacaciones
They were on vacation
Señor superintendente
Mr. Superintendent
Nada es nuevo nada vino de repente
Nothing is new nothing came suddenly
Si usted, no hace algo mas
If you don't do anything else
Cada dia habra mas cosas que arreglar
Every day there will be more things to fix
Un señor del piso 20 decidio bajar
A gentleman on the 20th floor decided to come down
Y en el piso 7 le invitaron a tomar
And on the 7th floor he was invited to take
Cafe con leche con las manos amarradas
Coffee with milk with hands tied
Sin una contribucion no lo vamos a soltar
Without a contribution we're not going to let him go
Y los de arriba asustados se escaparon
And the scared upstairs got away
Y los de abajo asustados se quedaron
And the under scared ones stayed
Y los del centro y los del centro repartiendo apartamentos
And the ones in the center and the downtown ones handing out apartments
Señor superintendente
Mr. Superintendent
Nada es nuevo nada vino de repente
Nothing is new nothing came suddenly
Si usted, no hace algo ya
If you don't do something anymore
Cada dia habra mas cosas que arreglar
Every day there will be more things to fix
Superintendente no se vuela un aladino de repente
Superintendent doesn't blow an aladdin all of a sudden
Si usted no hace algo mas
If you don't do anything else
No le van a dar su nobel de la paz
They're not going to give him their nobel peace
Les doy mi testimonio, hace un año que me fui
I give you my testimony, I've been gone for a year
Encontre un nuevo edificio encontre donde vivir
I found a new building I found a place to live
No conozco a mis vecinos me hace falta mi balcon
I don't know my neighbors I need my balcony
Como extraño mi cocina como extraño mi balon
As I miss my kitchen as I miss my ball
Pero aqui si hay agua caliente y las velas son de adorno
But here if there is hot water and the candles are ornamental
Señor superintendente, ya ni me asusto ni me escondo
Mr. Superintendent, I'm not scared or hiding anymore
