Me Han Dicho

They Have Told Me

They have told me that there is a place
Where the midday Sun doesn't burn
Where the nights of full Moon
Don't make you cry

They have told me that in that place
You spend your time lying on the sand
Putting up notices, woman
Condemning those who make her sweat

I don't know why that need
To travel so far from reality
Putting on masks in your heart
You pretend to forget

The parade on Campichuelo
Those nights when under a handkerchief
You would say: My love
I will never change you

I prefer to shipwreck in this sea
Of crazy eighth notes to tie
Until I forget your kisses

I prefer to waste time
Having drinks from bar to bar
And never, never wake up

I should have listened to Joaquín
When he said what he said that time
When that woman
Was walking away

I should have listened
And thus know well
How your forehead, your tongue, and your skirt really were

Luckily I got on a tram
Just when I was about to tie myself to the tracks
That told me: Champion
I can help you in your choice

But I warn you that this advisory train
That doesn't know what it's like to look back
Has told me that it won't stop at your station

I prefer
