Lyrics
Era una cleptómana
De bellas fruslerías
Robaba por un goce
De estética emoción
Linda, fascinadora
De cuyas fechorías
Jamás supo el severo
Juzgado de instrucción
La sorprendí una tarde
En un comercio antiguo
Hurtando un caprichoso
Frasquito de cristal
Que tuvo escancies raras
Y en su mirar ambiguo
Relampagueó un oculto
Destello ideal
Se hizo mi camarada
Para cosas secretas
Cosas que sólo saben
Mujeres y poetas
Pero llegó a tal punto
Su indómita afición
Que perturbó la calma
De mis serenos días
Era una cleptómana
De bellas fruslerías
Y sin embargo quiso
Robarme el corazón
Lyrics translation
She was a kleptomaniac.
Of beautiful fruslerias
He stole for a joy
Aesthetic emotion
Beautiful, fascinating
Of whose misdeeds
Never knew the severe
Investigating Court
I surprised her one afternoon.
In an ancient trade
Stealing a capricious
Glass bottle
That had rare spills
And in his ambiguous look
Flashed a hidden
Ideal flash
He became my comrade
For secret things
Things that only know
Women and poets
But it got to that point
His untamed hobby
That disturbed the calm
Of my serene days
She was a kleptomaniac.
Of beautiful fruslerias
And yet he wanted
Steal my heart
