Lyrics
Desnuda se senta igual que un pez en el agua,
vestirla era peor que amortajarla;
inocente y perversa como un mundo sin dioses,
alegre y repartida como el pan de los pobres.
No quise retenerla, de qu hubiera servido
deshacer las maletas del olvido?
Pero no s qu diera por tenerla ahora mismo
mirando por encima de mi hombro lo que escribo.
Le di mis noches y mi pan, mi angustia, mi risa,
a cambio de sus besos y su prisa;
con ella descubr que hay amores eternos
que duran lo que dura un corto invierno.
Conservo un beso de carmn que sus labios dejaron
impreso en el espejo del lavabo,
una foto amarilla, un corazn oxidado,
y esta sed del que aora la fuente del pecado.
Antes que la carcoma de la vida cotidiana
acabara durmiendo en nuestra cama,
pagana y arbitraria como un lunes sin clase
se fue de madrugada, no quiso ser de nadie.
Le di mis noches y mi pan, mi angustia, mi risa,
a cambio de sus besos y su prisa;
con ella descubr que hay amores eternos
que duran lo que dura un corto invierno.
Lyrics translation
Naked sits just like a fish in the water,
dressing her up was worse than cushioning her;
innocent and perverse as a world without gods,
joyful and distributed as the bread of the poor.
I didn't want to keep her, what good would it have been
unpacking from oblivion?
But I wouldn't want to have it right now.
looking over my shoulder what I write.
I gave him my nights and my bread, my anguish, my laughter,
in exchange for his kisses and his haste;
with her I discover that there are eternal loves
they last what lasts a short winter.
I keep a kiss from carmn that her lips left
printed on the mirror of the washbasin,
a yellow photo, a rusty heart,
and it is thirst for him that hath the source of sin.
Before the hunger of everyday life
he'll end up sleeping in our bed.,
Pagan and arbitrary as a classless Monday
he left at dawn, didn't want to be anyone's.
I gave him my nights and my bread, my anguish, my laughter,
in exchange for his kisses and his haste;
with her I discover that there are eternal loves
they last what lasts a short winter.
