Cruz De Navajas

At five the bar of 33 closes
but Mario doesn't leave until six
and if he also has to cash out, say goodbye
to him it's almost always daylight
while Maria is already up
she has cleaned the house
she even made coffee
and waits for him half naked

Mario arrives tired and greets
without much enthusiasm
he wants bed but a different kind
and Maria wets her desires in the coffee
muffins of convex sex
then off to work in a large warehouse
when he returns there's only a taciturn bed
to be used in shifts

[chorus]
cross of knives for a woman
deadly glimmers emerge at dawn
bloods that dye the dawn mauve

but today as there was no raid at 33
Mario returns at ten to five
on his empty street in the distance only seen
a couple kissing each other
and poor Mario wants to die
when he approaches to discover
that it's Maria with company

[chorus]

over Mario face down three crosses
one on the forehead the one that hurt the most
another on the chest the one that killed him
and another lies in the news
two drug addicts in full anxiety
rob and kill Mario Postigo
while his wife witnesses
from the doorway
instead of a cross of knives for a woman
deadly glimmers emerge at dawn
bloods that dye the dawn mauve
