September

Septiembre

He has his eyes on her hipsÉl tiene la vista en sus caderas
While she's only in underwearMientras ella solo con ropa interior
Dancing in the backlight of the blindsBaila a contraluz de la persiana
That bathe her, making her a Sun suitQue la baña haciéndole un traje de Sol

He thought he saw an angelA él le ha parecido ver a un ángel
She never felt so freeElla nunca se sintió tan libre
He memorizes every detailÉl memoriza cada detalle
She notices and smiles at himElla se da cuenta y le sonríe

And even though on the radioY aunque por la radio
Highway to Hell is playingSe escucha Highway to Hell
They only hearEllos solo escuchan
Tom Waits' chordsLos acordes de Tom Waits

The Moon is ready watching the hours go byLa Luna preparada ve pasar las horas
While they ignoreMientras ellos ignoran
The world falling apart around themEl mundo cae alrededor
The city light announces the morningLa luz de la ciudad anuncia la mañana
But in that bedPero en aquella cama
Time and clock don't existNo existe el tiempo ni el reloj

Their hands get confusedSe confunden las manos mientras
While the shadows mergeQue se funden las sombras
The windows fog upSe van empañando los cristales
They desire and playSe desean y juegan
They smell each other with no memorySe huelen no tienen memoria
So much so that they seem like animalsTanto que parecen animales

It's very different during the weekEs muy diferente por semana
She teaches at the universityElla imparte clase en la universidad
Both repressing their desiresLos dos reprimiéndose las ganas
As if he were just another studentComo si él fuera un alumno más

While she writes on the blackboardMientras ella escribe en la pizarra
He can't concentrateÉl es incapaz de concentrarse
She moves her hair from her backElla aparta el pelo de su espalda
And math burns himY a él las matemáticas le arden

And in the hallwaysY por los pasillos
They don't even look at each other as they passNi se miran al pasar
She's afraidA ella le da miedo
Afraid of what they'll sayLe da miedo el que dirán

He can't take it anymore with this forbidden loveEl ya no puede más con este amor prohibido
He feels like a fugitiveLe crea al fugitivo
With a Harrison Ford complexComplejo de Harrison Ford
And she, who doesn't see herself in skirts and crazy thingsY ella que no se ve con faldas y a lo loco
Tells him to wait a bitLe dice espera un poco
To see where the Sun risesA ver por dónde sale el Sol

He says my love, I can't contain what I feelÉl le dice mi amor no puedo contener lo que siento
But she, scared, doesn't respondPero ella asustada no responde
He looks at her and doesn't know how to interpret her silenceÉl la mira y no sabe como interpretar su silencio
Something simply breaksSimplemente hay algo que se rompe

There are only two weeks left until summer arrivesFaltan solo dos semanas para que llegue el verano
But in their two hearts, it seems like it has already begunPero en sus dos corazones ya parece que ha empezado
But where there was fire, there are always some ashesPero siempre que hubo fuego quedan algunas cenizas
And every morning she erases a chalk heartY ella todas las mañanas borra un corazón de tiza

And after that summer, September has already begunY después de ese verano ya ha comenzado septiembre
And again in the hallways, although not with as much feverY de nuevo en los pasillos, aunque ya sin tanta fiebre
They don't look at each other, don't touch, she because she's in a hurryNo se miran, no se tocan, ella porque va con prisas
And the other because he has found a new loveY el otro porque ha encontrado un nuevo amor
