Lyrics
Has visto un ciclo en televisin del cine
en tiempos de Franco?
yo soy aquel chaval que creci en la fila
de los mancos.
Si un dedo acariciaba una pierna, un cuello, un sujetador,
bramaba la temible linterna del acomodador.
Ella tena catorce abriles en canal,
sobre las rodillas rebeca para disimular;
aquel sabor a chocolatina, piel, saliva y sudor…
la carne de gallina me pone en el corazn.
En pantalla Dalila
cortaba el pelo a cero a Sansn
y en la ltima fila del cine
con calcetines
aprendimos tu y yo.
Juegos de manos
a la sombra de un cine de verano,
Juegos de manos…
siempre daban una de romanos.
Era condicin esencial organizar bien el modo
de entrar en la semioscuridad blanca y negra del No-Do
y, mientras en el circo un len se merendaba a un cristiano,
la nena se dejaba besar (que no la pille su hermano).
Si estrenaban Cleopatra y pedan el carnet
yo iba con corbata y pomada que cura el acn
hasta que aquella bici de mi niez se fue quedando sin frenos
y en la peli que pusieron despus nunca ganaban los buenos.
Y mientras en pantalla
prenda fuego a Roma Nern,
contra la ltima valla del cine
y en calcetines
aprendimos tu y yo.
Juegos de manos
a la sombra de un cine de verano,
Juegos de manos…
siempre daban una de romanos.
Hoy que todos andan con videos porno-americanos
para ver contigo me alquilo una de romanos.
Lyrics translation
You've seen a cycle on film television
in Franco's time?
I'm that kid who grew up in line
of the lame.
If a finger stroked a leg, a neck, a bra,
he craved the fearsome Lantern of the Usher.
She had fourteen open them in canal,
on Rebecca's knees to disguise;
that taste of chocolate, skin, saliva and sweat…
chicken meat puts me in the heart.
On screen Delilah
she cut her hair to zero at Samsn
and in the last row of the cinema
with socks
you and I learned.
Hand games
in the shade of a summer cinema,
Hand games…
they always gave one of Romans.
It was essential condition to organize the way well
to enter the black and white semi-darkness of the No-Do
and, while in the circus a len was snacking on a Christian,
the girl was allowed to be kissed (don't let her brother catch her).
If Cleopatra premiered and asked for the license
I was wearing a tie and ointment that cures acn
until that bike of my niez ran out of brakes
and in the movie they put in after that, the good guys never won.
And while on screen
set fire to Roma Nern,
against the last fence of cinema
and in socks
you and I learned.
Hand games
in the shade of a summer cinema,
Hand games…
they always gave one of Romans.
Today they all go with porn-American videos
to see you I rent one of Romans.
