The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La Cleptomana" by Compay Segundo.
Lyrics
Era una cleptómana
De bellas fruslerías
Robaba por un goce
De estetica emocion
Linda, fascinadora,
De cuyas fechorías
Jamás supo el severo
Juzgado de instrucción.
La sorprendí una tarde
En un comercio antiguo
Hurtando un caprichoso
Frasquito de cristal
Que tuvo escencias raras
Y en su mirar ambiguo
Relampagueó un oculto
Destello ideal.
Se hizo mi camarada
Para cosas secretas
Cosas que sólo saben
Mujeres y poetas
Pero llegó a tal punto
Su indómita afición
Que perturbó la calma
De mis serenos días.
Era una cleptómana
De bellas fruslerías
Y sin embargo quiso
Robarme el corazón.
(Merci à Arranz pour cettes paroles)
Lyrics translation
She was a kleptomaniac.
Of beautiful fruslerias
He stole for a joy
Of aesthetic emotion
Beautiful, fascinating,
Of whose misdeeds
Never knew the severe
Investigating Court.
I surprised her one afternoon.
In an ancient trade
Stealing a capricious
Glass bottle
Who had rare scents
And in his ambiguous look
Flashed a hidden
Ideal flash.
He became my comrade
For secret things
Things that only know
Women and poets
But it got to that point
His untamed hobby
That disturbed the calm
From my serene days.
She was a kleptomaniac.
Of beautiful fruslerias
And yet he wanted
Steal my heart.
(Thanks to Arranz for these words)
