Translation of the song lyrics Barrio Golondrina - Leon Gieco

Barrio Golondrina (original)

Barrio golondrina
Misma vida que otra villa
Hay promesa y falta todo
Tanto falta que no hay más
Barrio golondrina
Corre atrás del que camina
De ese que camina atrás
De otro que más lejos va
Porque a casi nadie, nadie le interesa
Tirar una mano tan sólo por dar
Porque casi nadie sabe qué es más vida
Querer regalar un poco de vida
Barrio golondrina
Corre a un costado del día
Porque la gente se olvida
Más de dos pasos que da
Barrio golondrina
Resto que se desperdicia
Si hoy la pena tiene suerte
En comida se convertirá
Porque a casi nadie, nadie le interesa…

Barrio Golondrina (translation)

swallow neighborhood
Same life as another villa
There is promise and everything is missing
So much missing that there is no more
swallow neighborhood
Run behind the one who walks
Of that one who walks behind
Of another that goes further
Because almost nobody, nobody cares
Throw a hand just to give
Because hardly anyone knows what is more life
Want to give a little life
swallow neighborhood
Run to one side of the day
because people forget
More than two steps you take
swallow neighborhood
Rest that is wasted
If today sorrow is lucky
In food will become
Because almost nobody, nobody cares...
