Oficio de Enamorado

Love's Job

Oficio de Enamorado

I leave the house, run through the streetsSalgo de la casa, corro por las calles
And a lightning bolt traps me with its lightY un rayo me atrapa con su luz
I read the newspapers, Jordan retiredLeo los diarios, Jordan retirado
And cholesterol doesn't help my healthY el colesterol no ayuda a mi salu'
Everyone gives their opinion except youOpinan todos menos tú

But I tell you that IPero te digo que yo
Sit on the sidewalk, write you a poemMe siento en la acera, te escribo un poema
And a dog winks at me with a blue eyeY un perro me guiña un ojo azul
I hear a thousand calls, I don't answer anythingOigo mil llamadas, no respondo nada
The area code of my understandingEl código de área de mi comprensión
I gave it to your heart, beautiful girlSe lo entregué a tu corazón, negrita linda

And what happens to meY lo que me pasa a mí
Mama, I'm confusedMamita, estoy ofuscao'
And if I keep going like thisY de seguir así
I'm going to end up burntVoy a acabar tostao'

Oh no, don't make me sufferAy no, no me hagas sufrir
You are my source of lightQue eres mi fuente de luz
What happens to meLo que me pasa a mí
Happens to everyoneLe pasa a todo el mundo
A madness like thisUna locura así
That leads me to the absurdQue me lleva a lo absurdo
It's the job of being in loveEs oficio de enamorao'

Job of, being in loveOficio de, enamorao'

I keep walking, the asphalt screams at meSigo caminando, me grita el asfalto
And traffic fines my reasonY un tráfico multa mi razón
I search well for your face, the illusion barks at meBusco bien tu cara, la ilusión me ladra
I perfume my soul with that attitudeMe perfumo el alma con esa actitu'
They were all there except you, beautiful girlEstaban todos menos tú, negrita linda

And what happens to meY lo que me pasa a mí
Mama, I'm confusedMamita, estoy ofuscao'
And if I keep going like thisY de seguir así
I'm going to end up burntVoy a acabar tostao'
