Comida tipica on streetside stalls
Vendedores for DVD, recuerdos, llamadas
My boredom of home all way in the distance
Different world, different day, different place
Make for the downtown on Carrera Siete
The schools and the churches, trafico pesado
A cop stops the driver and hands him a ticket
He’ll pay trescientos pesos, a fortune nightmareish
Continue regardless con muchos pasajeros
We jump off soon later and flag down a taxi
Past Universidad de Los Andes with Armando inside
At the side of a mountain, where cablecars run
En veinte minutos to ten thousand feet
With views of metropolis, en paz en mi vida
To flowers and trees, monumental religion
All tastes in the sunshine y un cafecito
Our way on a breeze, the city below
Check on the real, way up near the clouds
No hold and no bar on the life of a town
