'Summer in the City'

Verano del 66'

Sudor corriendo por la espalda, ruido sofocante... No fue el calor, fue la humedad. Pero le gustó, porque era verano. En la ciudad. Un riff de teclado enviado como código Morse a todos aquellos chicos cuyos padres se habían mudado a los aburridos suburbios, enfriando el centro de la ciudad en la más sofocante de las circunstancias.

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Been down, isn't it a pity

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

.

All around, people looking half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

.

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright

.

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

That the days can't be like the nights

In the summer, in the city

In the summer, in the city

.

Cool town, evening in the city

Dressing so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat, looking for a kitty

Gonna look in every corner of the city

Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop

Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

.

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright

.

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

That the days can't be like the nights

In the summer, in the city

In the summer, in the city

.

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Been down, isn't it a pity

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

.

All around, people looking half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

.

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright

.

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

That the days can't be like the nights

In the summer, in the city

In the summer, in the city.
