lyrics

Mai hagués pensat que la nit acabaria així
A la gent, a aquella edat no els hi sol passar això, però a mi
Després d'haver tocar durant un minut i mig
El weather ens va traïcionar i a Calonge haviem d'anar a dormir

En cap moment vam pensar que no hi hauria autobus
La gent amb aquella edat es queda tota la nit, mamant per un embut
Però a un quart de cinc, jo aburrit i confús
Sort d'aquell paio calb i un somriure fruit d'una nit d'abús

Mirat amb perspectiva tenia ben grans les pupil·les
Pensat degudament per poc no vam tenir cap accident
Mirat amb perspectiva, delicte de pederastia
Degudament pensat, potser no hauríem d'haver pujat

El cotxe va anar tirant anava prou a poc a poc
El tio hi entenia bastant tampoc volia ser el mort
Quan ens en vam adonar, ja havia sortit el sol del matí
al mig de les gavarres el tio es para a plantar un pi

En cap moment vam pensar totes les lleis que ens estavem saltant
La gent a aquella edat no pensa en el que pot passar
Però a un quart de 8 no sé com ningú ens va parar
Dos nens amb un paio calb i un somriure de nit d'abús descarat

Amb el cap sobre el volant
diu que es moria "com els americans"
el clàxon no parava de sonar
i de la història això n'és el més important



LIKE THE AMERICANS DO
I never thought the night would end like this
That doesn't usually happen to people at that age, but to me
After playing for a minute and a half
The weather betrayed us and in Calonge we had to go to sleep

At no time did we think that there would be no bus (to return)
People at that age stay up all night, drinking through a funnel
But at at 4:15am, bored and confused
We luckly found that bald guy with a smile from a night of abuse

Seen it from a distance, his pupils were quite large
After due consideration, fortunately we had no accidents
Seen it from a distance, crime of pederasty
On second thought, maybe we shouldn't have gone up

The car went slowly enough
The guy was getting it, he didn't want to be the dead one
By the time we realized it, the morning sun had already risen
in the middle of the mountains the dude stopped and took a shit

At no point did we think about all the laws we were breaking
People at that age don't think about what might happen
But at a 7:15am I don't know how noone stopped us
Two kids with a bald guy and a shameless abuse night smile

With his head on the steering wheel
he says he died "like the Americans do"
the horn kept sounding
and in history this is the most important detail
