Lyrics

A esa muchacha
Que dio a morder
Su piel de manzana
Cuando Cupido
Plantaba un nido
En cualquier ventana
A esa muchacha
Que tuvo al barrio
Guardando cola
Y revoloteando
Como polillas
En las farolas
A esa muchacha que fue Piel de Manzana
Se le quebró el corazón de porcelana
Se le bebieron de un trago la sonrisa
La primavera con ella tuvo prisa
Y quién me hace entender
Que la entretuve ayer
Temblándome en las manos
Maldigo el no poder
Volvernos a esconder
En el último rellano
Y a oscuras, compartir
Un ramillete de promesas
Y oír, sobre las diez:
Niña, la hora que es y sin poner la mesa
Muchachas tristes
Que florecisteis
En mis aceras
Bien poco ha escrito
En vuestros cuadernos
La primavera… y llega el invierno

Lyrics translation

That girl
That gave to bite
Your apple skin
When Cupid
Planted a nest
In any window
That girl
Who had the neighborhood
Watching cola
And fluttering
Like moths
In the street lamps
To that girl who was apple skin
His porcelain heart broke
His smile was drunk in one gulp
Spring with her was in a hurry
And who makes me understand
That I entertained her yesterday
Shaking my hands
I curse not being able
Hide again
On the last landing
And in the dark, share
A bouquet of promises
And hear, about ten:
Girl, what time is it and without setting the table
Sad Girls
That you blossomed
On my sidewalks
Well little has written
In your notebooks
Spring ... and winter comes
