En la ribera
En la ribera hay hormonas
Hay redoblonas
Negras caderas que cinturean la miseria

En la ribera
Cloaca de la historia
Negros de La Boca
O Avellaneda
O Laferrere
O La Matanza, que todavía duele

Sólo se arroja basura
Se aspira pimienta blanca
Los corazones supuran
Y murguean

Danzas guerreras
Bailan al hambre
Cantan a la peste
Cueste lo que cueste
Es el arte de la pelea

Es una cámara de fotos comida del día
Un auto puede salvarlos un mes más
Como manada acechando a sus presas
No hay peor delito que dejarse basurear

En la ribera
En la ribera se culea
El parapléjico te mueve
Los abuelos te voltean
Y se culea
Rebelión indiferente
Regala vida el agujero
Flores del riachuelo

En la ribera
El sexo es barato
Conocí a los quince años
La cara de Dios

En la ribera
El chaperío revienta
Crecen más de la cuenta
El indio no desapareció

En la ribera
Cuelgan de a diez en las tetas
Son las condecoraciones
Que ningún genocida cargó

En la ribera
Si no se mueren de hambre
Es que algo queda en la sangre
Que el viento no se llevó

Y cumbiean
Todas las noches cumbiean
Cuentan historias que
Ni el más cruel imaginó
Mastican rabia
Como en antiguas reducciones
Sin siquiera saber
De dónde viene su piel

La púa es como una antigua lanza guerrera
"La nueva" arma del urbano cazador
Parece ser que envenenarlos, no es violencia
Es violencia su desesperación

En la ribera
En la ribera te culean
El parapléjico te mueve
El abuelo te chorea

Y se culea
Rebelión indigente
Regala vida el agujero
Flores del riachuelo

En la ribera
En la ribera te culean
El parapléjico te mueve
El abuelo te chorea

Y se culea
Rebelión indigente
Regala vida el agujero
Flores del riachuelo
En la ribera que bonito en la ribera

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
