Another night out in the streets,
feel the hot ground beneath my feet,
and I love and I need you and that’s all right.
We meet all out in the stairs,
we’re looking for “love affairs”,
we are young, we feel the power of the night.
And we don’t care if it’s good or bad,
when the sun goes down there’s no way to feel sad.
Everybody goes to parties,
every night there are some parties.
If I want to be somebody I’ve got to do the same.
We go to different clubs:
alcohol, music and some drugs;
the noise is getting louder where we stand.
Everybody is telling lies
—a strange fight between words and eyes—,
being someone else
but (it don’t worry me) it happens everywhere.
And we don’t care if it’s good or bad
if when the sun comes up we stay in someone’s bed.
Everybody goes to parties,
every night there are some parties.
If I want to be somebody I’ve got to do the same.
And there’re no problems with the rent;
there’re no tears for died friends;
we don’t care to find a job;
a reputation with no blob;
love is just an easy game,
not a place to share the blame;
there’re no cries behind de door, etc.
Why care about the things we just ignore?
Everybody goes to parties,
every night there are some parties.
If I want to be somebody I’ve got to do the same.

Una altra nit fora als carrers, noto l’asfalt calent sota els meus peus, i us estimo i us necessito i això està bé. Ens reunim a fora les escales, estem buscant “rollos amorosos”, som joves i notem el poder de la nit. I no ens preocupa si està bé o malament: quan el sol es pon no hi ha cap possibilitat d’estar trist. Tothom va de festa, cada nit hi ha moltes festes, i si vull ser algú he de fer el mateix. Anem a diferents clubs: alcohol, música i algunes drogues; el soroll creix allà on som. Tothom està mentint —una estranya lluita entre les paraules i els ulls—, essent algú altre però (no em preocupa) això passa arreu. I no ens preocupa si està bé o malament si quan el sol surt estem al llit d’algú. Tothom va de festa, cada nit hi ha moltes festes, i si vull ser algú he de fer el mateix. I no hi ha problemes amb el lloguer; no hi ha llàgrimes pels amics morts; no ens preocupem per trobar feina; una reputació sense cap taca; l’amor és només un joc fàcil, no un lloc on compartir les culpes; no hi ha plors darrere la porta, etc. Perquè preocupar-nos per les coses que simplement ignorem? Tothom va de festa, cada nit hi ha moltes festes, i si vull ser algú he de fer el mateix.
