La Acera De Calcuta - Lyrics - Nacho Cano
Ignacio Cano Andrés, aka Nacho Cano, is a Spanish arranger, composer, musician and record producer. Both he and his brother showed an interest in music in their young lives. At 5, he began to play the Spanish guitar and at 12 he started his first band called âPrismaâ, with Toti Arboles and Eduardo Benavente, both of whom would later make up the core of the sociocultural movement that took place in Spain after Francoâs death, known as the âMovida Madrileñaâ. After playing in several different bands in his early teens, Nacho formed âMecanoâ with his brother Jose and his brotherâs friend Ana Torroja. At 16, Nacho wrote âHoy No Me Puede Levantarâ . âMecanoâ signed their first record deal with CBS, when Nacho was 17 years old. This first album smashed all sales records in Spain, selling 1,000,000 copies in three months.

La acera de Calcuta no es tan dura
si forma parte del pasado entre las basuras
las heridas y la sentencia.
Para mi madre ya no hay cura
a la locura que trae el dolor.
Estribillo:
Partimos en avión
con una manta, cuatro manzanas,
los recuerdos y la ilusión.
Arriba comprendí
que en el espacio no existen castas
y las mantas ya están allí.
Aparecimos en España.
Por el camino no vi vacas, agua corriente,
agua transparente, cama y calor,
soy más oscura que los otros
y me miran con atención.
Estribillo.
La acera de Calcuta
no es tan mala
para saber que la nevera
siempre dispuesta no fué siempre
lo que ahora es.
La acera de Calcuta
no es tan mala para aprender
que en la basura crecen
las flores más hermosas de recoger.
