Folks seem to be going through a Kevin Johansen phase. Argentine music tends to Yankee-hating-up-Manu-Chao’s-arse bollocks, but “el Hugh Hefner Aragonés” is interesting and amusing:

Moderately unfucked translation:

Things weren’t going well, I hadn’t got it together
There was no light at the end of the tunnel of my life
But…

Ever since I lost you
All the girls are falling in love with me
And some of them even want to convince me
That I could be happy with them.

Ever since I lost you
Doors keep opening wide for me
Even the Alcalá gate opened up for me
And I took full advantage of them all.

Etcetera. The last reference is to Kevin’s secret love for sheep: la Puerta de Alcalá is part of a cañada real, and emblematic of the institution.
