La Serenata
Arley Perez
The Serenade
When it crosses my mind, my dear life
Even my skin bristles
Thinking of you, woman
When I see you walking alone in the square
And with the absence of my mother-in-law
I talk to you to stop suffering
When I bring you flowers, I steal them from the neighbor
To look good in your eyes
And to drive you crazy
When I go to your house, I talk to you through the window
So you can hear my serenade
I sing to you that I am very faithful
But my dear life, I'm not sure what happens
When you open your window, your family comes out to see
Then your grandma asks for the one where you call me
Your dad for the one with the errand or extension 6 66
Then my mother-in-law asks for the one where you are not needed
My father-in-law, seeing me upset, asks for separation
Then my mother-in-law reconsiders and asks for forgiveness
After that, between punches and kisses for reconciliation
Then behind your father comes your sick brother
Asking for the one about the waves and the convoy, he emphasizes it
Then your little sister asks for the one about the white soldier
But when I ask which one, she tells me to play both
Between one thing and another, your grandpa asks for his
Also the one about the Chinese anthrax, I played the cinema and they didn't like it
Then I moved on to the one about the genius and the mafia says
And in that serenade, I sang until dawn
When I couldn't take it anymore, I grabbed a bucket of water
And poured it over my head so you would feel compassion
Instead of running away, you asked for more songs
I came to make you fall in love to play you this song
