El Poste

It's six o'clock, I leave workSon las seis, salgo del trabajo
head to grab a coffeeme dirijo a tomarme un cafe
I take a shared taxitomo un taxi colectivo
and as we pass by a hotel, I saw her leaving with himy al pasar por un hotel le vi salir con el

Hastily, I got offApresuradamente me baje
but I couldn't catch the car she got intoy al carro que se subia no la alcanze
It's ten, maybe she's already homeson las diez talvez esta ya en casa
but today I won't make itpero hoy no llegare

The streets are so sadLas calles estan muy tristez
I still can't believe it, but I saw her with himaun no lo puedo creer, pero la vi con el
I didn't notice what car it wasno me fije que carro era
or jot down the license plate numberni el numero de las placas las apunte

and I stayedy me quede
standing by a pole, smokingparado en un poste fume
a dog came and barked at meun perro llego y me ladro
crying, I reached out my handllorando estire la mano
and the dog licked ity el perro me la lamio

and I stayedy me quede
standing by the pole, cryingparado en el poste llore
crying and smoking, and the poor dogllore y fume y el pobre perro
stayed by my sidejunto a mi se quedo

It's eight in the morningson las ocho de la mañana
I didn't make it to workal trabajo ya no llegue
the traffic is jammedel trafico esta tupido
everyone's running senselessly, where will I gotodos corren sin sentido yo a donde ire

I feel like forgiving herMe dan ganas de perdonarla
going incognito, playing dumbhacerme disimulado, hacerme wey
It's noonson las doce del mediodia
I sat on the sidewalken la banqueta me sente

there I thought it's not possibleahi pense que no es posible
to share my bed with her, I won't go backcon ella compartir mi cama, no regresare
let her stay with the guy from the car she left withque se quede con el del carro en que se fue
I didn't even jot down the license plates anywayal cabo que ni las placas las apunte

and I walkedy camine
away from that poledel poste aquel me aleje
the dog also followed meel perro tambien me siguio
playing with my hands, it took away the angerjugueteando con mis manos el coraje me quito

and I returnedy regrese
to the same pole, smoking, smoking, smokingal mismo poste fume, fume y fume
until the doghasta que el perro
turned, looked at me, and leftvoltio me vio y se fue
