Mariposas Amarillas de Mauricio Babilonia

Yellow Butterflies of Mauricio Babilonia

Mariposas Amarillas de Mauricio Babilonia

Sadistic little heartCorazoncito sádico
Black mourning thongTanga negra de luto
Muse of magical thighsMusa de muslos mágicos
Love in gross weightAmor en peso bruto

You still paint my daysAún pintas mis días
With your thick cologneCon tu espesa colonia
Of yellow butterfliesDe mariposas amarillas
Of Mauricio BabiloniaDe mauricio babilonia

At a good exchange rateA buen precio de cambio
Your kisses for my phobiasTus besos por mis fobias
You left me for the yearsMe dejabas por los años
When I was a boyfriend and you my girlfriendCuando era novio y tú mi novia

We were dirt and dirtÉramos mugre y mugre
We lived in your bedVivíamos en tu cama
Neither the fog nor the cityNi la niebla ni la urbe
Entered through your windowEntraban por tu ventana

But to the seven sinsPero a los siete pecados
One day I went out to playUn día salí a jugar
Like someone desperately lookingComo quien busca desesperado
To see the sea for the first timeVer por primera vez el mar

I untangled my soulDesenredé mi alma
I got sick of autumnEnfermé de otoño
I lost my mind and my calmPerdí la cabeza y la calma
Among brandies and pussiesEntre coñacs y coños

But upon returningPero al regresar
You didn't recognize meNo me reconociste
I was hungry for moreYo tenía hambre de más
You had sad eyesTú tenías los ojos tristes

Still we tried to love each otherIgual tratamos de querernos
Out of respect for who we werePor respeto a quienes fuimos
Even hell took pitySe apiadó hasta el infierno
On how much we insistedDe cuánto insistimos

I saw you yesterday in a barTe vi ayer en un bar
And since it never workedY como nunca funcionó
Instead of trying againEn vez de volver a tratar
I wrote you this songTe escribí esta canción
