Stars

The air was more than humanEl aire era más que humano

And the heat was more than hungryY el calor era más que hambriento

And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumesY los autos eran cuadrados y escupían humo de diésel

The boars were running wildLos jabalíes corrían salvajes

Because they're big and mean and sacredPorque son grandes y malos y sagrados

And the children playing cricket with no shoesY los niños jugaban cricket descalzos

That morning we woke up manEsa mañana despertamos, amigo

To a seven-hour drivePara un viaje de siete horas

Well there we were in South BatongBueno, allí estábamos en South Batong

Where women are men and men go wrongDonde las mujeres son hombres y los hombres se equivocan

And there were so many fewer questionsY había muchas menos preguntas

When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmmCuando las estrellas eran solo agujeros al cielo, mmm

Man and there were so many fewer questionsHombre, y había muchas menos preguntas

When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmmCuando las estrellas eran solo agujeros al cielo, mmm

The officials were quite friendlyLos oficiales eran bastante amigables

Once we bribed them with our sweet talkUna vez que los sobornamos con nuestras palabras dulces

And we drowned them with our cigarettes and boozeY los ahogamos con nuestros cigarrillos y licor

Disembarking from the portDesembarcando del puerto

With no mistakes of any sortSin errores de ningún tipo

Moving south the engine running smoothMoviéndonos hacia el sur con el motor funcionando suave

The next morning we woke up manA la mañana siguiente despertamos, amigo

With the sunrise to the right wellCon el amanecer a la derecha

Moving back north to Port BlairRegresando al norte a Port Blair

Where boats break and children stareDonde los barcos se rompen y los niños miran fijamente

And there were so many fewer questionsY había muchas menos preguntas

When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmmCuando las estrellas eran solo agujeros al cielo, mmm

Man and there were so many fewer questionsHombre, y había muchas menos preguntas

When stars were still just the holes to heavenCuando las estrellas eran solo agujeros al cielo
