waltz for joaquin and noa
special guest: joaquin sabina
you, you are the darkest of nights
where i will wander
from alley to alley to alley
in search of a bottle of light
you, you are a woman who chose
running half naked
from alley to alley to alley
in search of a knife and a rose
so, where does our story go?
is there an apple to bite, shiny and red
and if i do, will i fall
dead at your feet?
so, where does the music flow?
is it the river of jordan, holy and cold,
will you jump in?
are you as bold as you seem
tú, resaca del corazón
contestador que repite
repite y repite
llorando su absurda canción.
tú, banquete del colibrí
peonza que va dando vueltas
y vueltas y vueltas
por un olivar sefardí
yo, huérfano y desertor
tataranieto de abraham crepuscular
bufón del mes
vecino de lavapiés
no, fui tu príncipe azul
y envejecí en un desván
peter sin pan, robin sin hood
silbando un canto viudo
you, you make me feel like a fool
lets run together
from alley to alley to alley
like children escaping the rule
tú, la favorita de un rey
con su maleta que rueda
que rueda, que rueda
por un aeroporto sin ley
yo, mendigo de estación
bastardo del rey david
yerno del cid, macho sin fe
don juan rendido a tus pies
so, gently you raise your bow
i see your eyes full of fire
robin, no hood
bad turns to good
good’s an unfaithful lover
