Señorita

Miss

Señorita

Her breasts like the tip of a rockSus pechos como punta de una roca
They strolled around the bar serving drinksSe paseaban en el bar sirviendo tragos
Dressed as if she didn't want clothesVestida como quien no quiere ropa
And more tricks on her skin than any magicianY más trucos en la piel que cualquier mago

She had several names to forgetTenía varios nombres pa' olvidarse
The name they gave her at homeDel nombre que le dieron en la casa
She had an ideal past to not rememberTenía un pasado ideal pa' no acordarse
And a reputation for following through on threatsY fama de cumplir cuando amenaza

On Tuesdays she was called MargaritaLos martes se llamaba Margarita
By Friday nights she was LolaLos viernes por las noches ya era Lola
I always called her missYo siempre le decía señorita
You don't have to be so aloneUsted no tiene por qué estar tan sola

I remember the Thursday of that first kissRecuerdo el jueves de aquel primer beso
Her name that night was JulietSu nombre aquella noche era Julieta
Instinct always prevailed over reasonInstinto siempre pudo más que seso
Matters that poets don't understandAsuntos que no entienden los poetas

There was never a bed in our storyJamás hubo una cama en nuestra historia
In bathrooms and pantries like trapeze artistsEn baños y despensas trapecistas
Her back is tattooed in my memoryTatuada está su espalda en mi memoria
Two crazies in a bar for hedonistsDos locos en un bar a los hedonistas

On Tuesdays she was called MargaritaLos martes se llamaba Margarita
By Friday nights she was LolaLos viernes por las noches ya era Lola
I always called her missYo siempre le decía señorita
You don't have to be so aloneUsted no tiene por qué estar tan sola

One Monday with the name MariaUn lunes con el nombre de María
She said see you tomorrow and never returnedMe dijo hasta mañana y no volvió
The bar is now called MelancholyEl bar se llama hoy Melancolía

On Tuesdays she was called MargaritaLos martes se llamaba Margarita
By Friday nights she was LolaLos viernes por las noches ya era Lola
I always called her missYo siempre le decía señorita
You don't have to be so aloneUsted no tiene por qué estar tan sola
