Pistolas Al Amanecer

Guns at Dawn

Pistolas Al Amanecer

My loneliness wakes up early sometimesMi soledad madruga a veces
Gets up before I doSe levanta antes que yo
And leaves breakfast in bed for meY me deja el desayuno en la cama
From her side of the mattressDe su lado del colchón
She arranges the memoriesAcomoda los recuerdos
Collects firewood if it's AprilJunta leña si es abril
If her cousin sadness comes to visit meSi su prima la tristeza me visita
She swears she prays for meJura que reza por mí

But some nights, executionersPero algunas noches verdugas
I challenge her to a duel without faithLa reto a duelo sin fe
We both choose godfathersLos dos elegimos padrinos
And guns at dawnY pistolas al amanecer
Some nights I get tiredAlgunas noches me canso
I challenge her to a duel without faithLa reto a duelo sin fe
We both choose godfathersLos dos elegimos padrinos
And guns at dawnY pistolas al amanecer

My loneliness wears high heelsMi soledad usa tacos altos
I don’t know if I measure upNo sé si estoy a su altura
I make plans wrapped around her waistHago planes abrazado a su cintura
Which is comfort and destructionQue es consuelo y es estrago
My pet when it rainsMi mascota cuando llueve
Buddy in the boozeCamarada en el alcohol
She has a picnic with my skinny tearsSe hace un picnic con mis lágrimas flaquitas
While she dries my sweatMientras me seca el sudor

But some nights, executionersPero algunas noches verdugas
I challenge her to a duel without faithLa reto a duelo sin fe
We both choose godfathersLos dos elegimos padrinos
And guns at dawnY pistolas al amanecer
Some nights I get tiredAlgunas noches me canso
I challenge her to a duel without faithLa reto a duelo sin fe
We both choose godfathersLos dos elegimos padrinos
And guns at dawnY pistolas al amanecer

And at the hour of the stakesY a la hora de los bifes
When the future pressesCuando apura el porvenir
I ask her if she’ll take care of me when I’m oldLe pregunto si me va a cuidar de viejo
And she doesn’t know what to sayY no sabe que decir
But some nights, executionersPero algunas noches verdugas
I challenge her to a duel without faithLa reto a duelo sin fe
We both choose godfathersLos dos elegimos padrinos
And guns at dawnY pistolas al amanecer

Some nights I get tiredAlgunas noches me canso
I challenge her to a duel without faithLa reto a duelo sin fe
We both choose godfathersLos dos elegimos padrinos
And guns at dawnY pistolas al amanecer
And guns at dawnY pistolas al amanecer
And guns, at dawnY pistolas, al amanecer
