La Taberna Del Buda

CAFÉ QUIJANO - The Buddha's Tavern

It's a dive bar
where they gather every night
the usual ones, they write scripts, dark novels,
they write pages of tricks and ways.
The door opens, the fog sets in,
among the smoke and perfumes someone enters;
some look at each other, others ask
who is the guy who looks like the Buddha.
Who is the guy who looks like the Buddha.

In one corner a former prisoner, right at the bar opposite,
there's a notary; a separated man with a widow pairs up with the
widow's friend, pairs up with the widow's friend.

And there's a dean as well, and a lawyer too,
and a policeman surrounded by thieves,
and a princess and a Portuguese woman,
who are nothing if they take off their heels.

Turururu......

A well-matched couple, just a meter away the husband's mistress,
he's calm pretending,
she's attentive because she's seen an old friend,
she's attentive because she's seen an old friend.

There are three bankers, wearing ties, they're married,
the rings well hidden; three Italian women don't hold back,
they draw lots for the three with ties,
they draw lots for the three with ties.
