Lyrics

Eran las diez de la noche piloteaba mi nave
Era mi taxi un VolksWagen del año 68
Era un dia de esos malos donde no hubo pasaje
Las lentejuelas de un traje me hicieron la parada
Era una rubia preciosa llevaba minifalda
El escote en su espalda llegaba justo a la gloria
Una lagrima negra rodaba en su mejilla
Mientras que el retrovisor decia ve que pantorillas
Yo vi un poco mas
Eran las diez con cuarenta sigzagueaba en reforma
Me dijo me llamo Norma mientras cruzaba la pierna
Saco un cigarro algo extraño de esos que te dan risa
Le ofreci fuego de prisa y me temblaba la mano
Le pregunte por quien llora y me dijo por un tipo
Que se cree que por rico puede venir a engañarme
No caiga usted por amores debe de levantarse (le dije)
Cuente con un servidor si lo que quiere es vengarse
Y me sonrio
Que es lo que hace un taxista seduciendo a la vida
Que es lo que hace un taxista construyendo una herida
Que es lo que hace un taxista enfrente de una dama
Que es lo que hace un taxista con sus sueños de cama
Me pregunte
Lo vi abrazando y besando a una humilde muchacha
Es de clase muy sencilla lo se por su facha
Me sonreia en el espejo y se sentaba de lado
Yo estaba idiotizado con el espejo empañado
Me dijo doble en la esquina iremos hasta mi casa
Despues de un par de tequilas veremos que es lo que pasa
Para que describir lo que hicimos en la alfombra
Si basta con resumir que le bese hasta la sombra
Y un poco mas
No se sienta usted tan sola sufro aunque no es lo mismo
Mi mujer y mi horario han abierto un abismo
Como se sufre ambos lados de las clases sociales
Usted sufre en su mansion yo sufro en los arrabales
Me dijo vente conmigo que sepa no estoy sola
Se hizo en el pelo una cola fuimos al bar donde estaban
Entramos precisamente él abrazaba una chica
Mira si es grande el destino y esta ciudad es chica
Era mi mujer
Que es lo que hace un taxista seduciendo a la vida
Que es lo que hace un taxista construyendo una herida
Que es lo que hace un taxista cuando un caballero
Coincide con su mujer en horario y esmero
Me pregunte
Desde aquella noche ellos juegan a engañarnos
Se ven en el mismo bar…
Y la rubia para el taxi siempre a las diez
en el mismo lugar

Lyrics translation

It was ten o'clock at night I was piloting my ship
Was my taxi a VolksWagen of the year 68
It was one of those bad days where there was no passage
The sequins of a suit made me stop
She was a beautiful blonde wearing a miniskirt
The neckline on her back reached just to the glory
A black tear rolled on his cheek
While the rearview mirror said it sees that calves
I saw a little more
It was ten with forty sigzagueaba in reforma
He told me my name was Norma as I crossed my leg.
I get a cigarette something strange of those that give you laughter
I offered him fire in a hurry and my hand was shaking
I asked him who he was crying for and he told me about a guy
That he thinks that by rico he can come to deceive me
Don't fall for love you must get up (I said)
Have a server if you want revenge
And I smile
What does a taxi driver do by seducing life
What does a taxi driver do building a wound
What does a taxi driver do in front of a lady
What does a taxi driver do with his bed dreams
I asked myself
I saw him hugging and kissing a humble girl
It is very simple class I know it by its face
He smiled at me in the mirror and sat on his side
I was idiotic with the mirror tarnished
He said double in the corner we'll go to my house
After a couple of tequilas we'll see what happens
To describe what we did on the carpet
If it's enough to sum it up, I'll kiss you in the shade.
And a little more
Don't feel so alone I suffer though it's not the same
My wife and my schedule have opened an abyss
How both sides of the social classes suffer
You suffer in your mansion I suffer in the suburbs
He told me come with me to know I'm not alone
We went to the bar where they were
We entered precisely he hugged a girl
See if fate is big and this city is small
She was my wife.
What does a taxi driver do by seducing life
What does a taxi driver do building a wound
What does a taxi driver do when a gentleman
He matches his wife in schedule and care
I asked myself
Since that night, they've been playing tricks on us.
They look at the same bar…
And the blonde for the taxi always at ten
in the same place
