Al Maestro Con Cariño

One of these days, my life
I will follow your example
I will come home with the scent
Of another bed
With incense from another temple
And if by chance I arrive late
I will tell you what you tell me
That there was a meeting at the office
That the crisis in Argentina
Caused an urgent session

And I might even give you
That unwanted kiss
Like Judas, I will try
To hide my sin from you
As you have taught me
As one teaches a child
Your gift I will give you
To the teacher with love

I will entrust you with the dogs
While I go out one night
And you stay calm
Without causing any drama
Without making any reproach
And don't forget to put on
Your jacaranda lotion
Just in case it occurs to me
What always occurs to you
After your revelries

And I might even give you
That unwanted kiss
Like Judas, I will try
To hide my sin from you
As you have taught me
As one teaches a child
Your gift I will give you
To the teacher with love
