Al amanecer
Ariel Rot
At Dawn
My love left
and the street cats gathered to sing the blues
just when I managed to fall asleep.
My love left,
and I was so tired that suddenly I started laughing
laughing without knowing why.
The peaceful nights end when you leave
the pigeons on my rooftop fight over the last piece of bread...
that's left.
My love left
I smoked one cigarette after another realizing
that living seriously harms your health.
My love left
and I locked all of their things in a coffin
that I buried at dawn.
The peaceful nights end when you leave
the pigeons on my rooftop fight over the last piece of bread...
that's left.
My love... can't you see they're already gone!
My love left
and on Agreement Street I drank their memories in one gulp
and kissed... the first lips I found.
My love left
I confess, buddy, I don't understand anything,
because nothing is like yesterday,
since she left.
I have strawberry jam in my head about to explode
September, completely alone.
My love... can't you see they're already gone!
My love....
