El Taxista

It was 10 o'clock at night
I was driving my ship
My taxi was a Volkswagen
From '68
It was one of those bad days with no passengers

The sequins of a suit
Hailed me
She was a beautiful blonde
Wearing a miniskirt
The neckline on her back
Reached just to glory

A black tear rolled down her cheek
While the rearview mirror said
Look at those calves
I saw a bit more

It was 10:40
I was zigzagging on Reforma
She said her name was Norma
While crossing her leg
She took out a strange cigarette
One that makes you laugh
I quickly offered a light
And my hand was trembling

I asked her who she was crying for
She said for a guy
Who thinks that because he's rich
He can deceive me
Don't fall for love
You must rise
I said
Count on me if you want revenge
And she smiled

What is a taxi driver doing seducing life?
What is a taxi driver doing building a wound?
What is a taxi driver doing in front of a lady?
What is a taxi driver doing with his bed dreams?
I wondered

I saw him hugging and kissing a humble girl
She's very simple
I know by her appearance
She smiled at me in the mirror
And sat sideways
I was mesmerized
With the fogged mirror

She said turn at the corner
We'll go to my house
After a couple of tequilas
We'll see what happens

Why describe what we did on the carpet
When it's enough to summarize that I kissed her to the shadow
And a bit more

Don't feel so alone
I suffer, it's not the same
My wife and my schedule
Have opened an abyss

How one suffers on both sides of social classes
You suffer in your mansion
I suffer in the slums

She said come with me
Know that I'm not alone
She tied her hair in a ponytail
We went to the bar where he was
We entered precisely
He was hugging a girl

Look how great destiny is
And this city is small
It was my wife

What is a taxi driver doing seducing life?
What is a taxi driver doing building a wound?
What is a taxi driver doing when a gentleman
Coincides with his wife in schedule and effort?
I wondered

Since that night they play at deceiving us
They meet at the same bar
And the blonde for the taxi
Always at 10 in the same place
