Lyrics of Manhattan (First We Take Manhattan) - Enrique Morente, Lagartija Nick, Estrella Morente

Manhattan (First We Take Manhattan) (original)

Me condenaron a veinte años de hastío
Por intentar cambiar el sistema desde dentro
Ahora vengo a desquitarme
Primero conquistaremos Manhattan
Después conquistaremos Berlín
Me guía una señal en los cielos
Me guía una marca de mi piel
Me guía la belleza en nuestras armas
Primero conquistaremos Manhattan
Después conquistaremos Berlín
Quisiera estar siempre contigo
Me gusta tu cuerpo, tu espíritu y tu ropa
Pero ¿ves esa fila que avanza en la estación?
Te dije, ya te dije
Que yo, ay que yo era uno de ellos
Me amaste como perdedor
Y te preocupa que pueda vencer
Sabes cómo detenerme
Y no me sabes tú comprender
¿Cuántas veces recé «pa» yo volver a empezar?
Pimero conquistaremos Manhattan
Después conquistaremos Berlín
Recuerda que yo vivía «pa» la música
Recuerda que de mí te mantenías
Hoy es el día del padre y estamos «heríos»
Después conquistaremos Berlín
Quisiera estar siempre contigo
Me gusta tu cuerpo, tu espíritu y tu ropa
Pero ¿ves esa fila que avanza en la estación?
Te dije, ya te dije
Que yo, ay que yo era uno de ellos

(translation)

I was sentenced to twenty years of ennui
For trying to change the system from within
Now I come to get even
First we will conquer Manhattan
Then we will conquer Berlin
I am guided by a sign in the heavens
I am guided by a mark on my skin
I am guided by the beauty in our weapons
First we will conquer Manhattan
Then we will conquer Berlin
I would like to be always with you
I like your body, your spirit and your clothes
But do you see that line that advances in the station?
I told you, I already told you
That I, oh that I was one of them
you loved me as a loser
And you're worried that I might win
you know how to stop me
And you don't know how to understand me
How many times did I pray "for" me to start over?
First we will conquer Manhattan
Then we will conquer Berlin
Remember that I lived "for" the music
Remember that you kept from me
Today is Father's Day and we are "wounded"
Then we will conquer Berlin
I would like to be always with you
I like your body, your spirit and your clothes
But do you see that line that advances in the station?
I told you, I already told you
That I, oh that I was one of them
