Lyrics

Sobre los tejados se duerme la tarde
Humo de un cigarro que fuma Gardel
En el dulce licor que me hiere salvaje
En los garabatos que hago en el mantel
Y esperaré.Y si no vuelves
Bajo el olivo me quedaré dormido
Y esperaré, por si te pierdes
Será mi luna, tu fanal encendido
Te regalo mi capa, mi capa de color grana
Mi triste sonrisa alzada en las ramas
En los gallardetes, en las banderolas
Y te hago un vestido de un rojo amapola
Nana de marinero, nudo de antojos
Que nadie te querrá tanto como yo
Si ahora pudiese estar mirando tus ojos
Iba a estar escribiendo aquí esta canción
Esperaré.Y si no vuelves
Bajo el olivo me quedaré dormido
Y viviré otras vidas prohibidas
Al olvido del tiempo que añoro
El que viví contigo. Mi caballo tordo yo te lo regalo
Carbón, ramas secas. Soy enamorado
Perdonarte quiero mas no tengo prisa
Disculpa un momento, que me desenredo
Sírvete entretanto lo que te apetezca
Redimirte quiero mas sin sobresaltos
Destila el triunfo sabor amargo
Del seco fruto del desencanto
Laurel del triunfo, sabor amargo del seco fruto
Del desencanto

Lyrics translation

On the roofs you sleep in the afternoon
Smoke from a cigarette smoking Gardel
In the sweet liquor that hurts me wild
In the doodles I do on the tablecloth
And I'll wait.And if you don't come back
Under the olive tree I'll fall asleep
And I'll wait, in case you get lost
It will be my moon, your beacon lit
I give you my coat, my gray coat
My sad smile lifted on the branches
On the pennants, on the banners
And I make you a dress of a poppy red
Sailor's Nana, knot of cravings
That no one will love you as much as I do
If I could now be looking at your eyes
I was gonna be writing this song here.
Wait.And if you don't come back
Under the olive tree I'll fall asleep
And I will live other forbidden lives
To forgetting the time I long for
The one I lived with you. My Thrush horse I give it to you
Coal, dry branches. I'm in love
Forgive you I want more I'm not in a hurry
Excuse me a moment, I'm unraveling
Help yourself in the meantime whatever you want
Redeem you I want more without shocks
Distills triumph bitter taste
From the dry fruit of disenchantment
Laurel of triumph, bitter taste of dry fruit
Of disenchantment
