Lyrics
Cuando vivías en la castellana
usabas un perfume tan amargo
que mis manos sufrían al rozarte
y se me ahogaban de melancolía.
si íbamos a cenar, o si las gordas
daban alguna fiesta, tu perfume
lo echaba a perder todo.
no sé dónde
compraste aquel extracto de tragedia,
aquel ácido aroma de martirio.
lo que sé es que lo huelo todavía
cuando paseo por la castellana
muerto de amor, junto al antiguo hipódromo,
y me sigue matando su veneno.
cuando paseo por la castellana
aún me sigue matando su veneno.
Lyrics translation
When you lived in La castellana
you used such a bitter perfume
that my hands suffered when they touched you
and they were drowning me in melancholy.
if we were going to dinner, or if the fat ones
they were throwing some party, your perfume.
he ruined everything.
I don't know where
you bought that extract of tragedy,
that acid aroma of martyrdom.
what I know is I still smell it
when I walk through La castellana
dead of love, next to the Old Racecourse,
and he keeps killing me his poison.
when I walk through La castellana
his poison still kills me.
