Lyrics

¿Bailas?
Cenicienta de porcelana,
encerrada en tu piel intacta,
vendida en propiedad
a un señor de edad,
perfumada y compacta.
Hábil
en pasar al personal por las armas,
encerrada en tu piel sibilina.
Hay un vientre feliz
que ve por la nariz
y piensa con la vagina.
A salvo en el jardín
de la pereza,
sólo para el peine
usas la cabeza.
Desvirtuando el vicio,
desleal competidora,
pirata del oficio.
Y comprometida
con no comprometerse.
Encerrada en tu piel impermeable,
deja el tiempo correr
como el que oye llover
y si ladran que ladren.
Deja ya de bailar,
que se acerca el tiempo
de las soledades
y de los silencios.
Por más que te remoces,
perderás el zapato
antes que den las doce.
Distante
cenicienta de porcelana,
el naufragio puede sorprenderte
en tu amable burdel,
encerrada en tu piel
y sin nada que ponerte.

Lyrics translation

Do you dance?
Porcelain Cinderella,
locked in your skin intact,
sold on property
to an old gentleman,
fragrant and compact.
Skillful
to pass personnel by weapons,
locked in your wheezing skin.
There's a Happy Belly
he sees through his nose
and think with the vagina.
Safe in the garden
from laziness,
only for comb
you use your head.
Reversing vice,
unfair competitor,
pirate of the trade.
And committed
not to commit.
Locked in your waterproof skin,
let the time run
like the one who hears it rain
and if they bark, they bark.
Stop dancing now,
time is coming
of loneliness
and the silences.
No matter how much you move away,
you'll lose your shoe.
before twelve o'clock.
Distant
porcelain Cinderella,
the shipwreck may surprise you
in your friendly brothel,
locked in your skin
and nothing to wear.
