Boedo y Rivadavia

Nothing big happens at Avenida Boedo
An old man in an expensive suit and polished nails
Picks a coin from the ground
A young girl with shiny black hair
Walks weirdly to the weight of grocery bags
The happy couple drinking their mate
Leaves a shop where they didn’t like anything

While Caro waits for her lover in a flowery dress
Under the shade of a tree.

See those kids? They won’t stop running around
their weary mother on Easy’s doorway
They want a kart to play or an ice-cream for the heat
The dyed blond in a tiger print blouse
Hurries along with her blue headphones
For the appointment she just has got to keep

While Caro waits for her lover in a flowery dress
Under the shade of a tree.

Two workers sit in the corner and eat their empanadas
They don’t care for the noise or the dust on the street
A shopkeeper, with his hands in his hips
Talks of Sanfilippo, Scotta and the Pope
And asks how come things don’t move forward in this country
Above him, a sign says ”Días de Locura” on the marquee

While Caro waits for her lover in a flowery dress
Under the shade of a tree.

And Caro waits for her lover
in a flowery dress
Under the shade of a tree.
