En Tu Cumpleaños
Fernando Delgadillo
On Your Birthday
Today on your birthday I could, I don't know,
get you half a ton of flowers,
seven different looks,
five hundred kisses of flavors,
a necklace of yellow pearls,
two tickets to the movies, a Rolling Stones' record
two tickets to the movies, a Rolling Stones' record
a piece of coal that in less than a thousand years will be a beautiful diamond
a shark's tooth mmm...
a moonstone and even a freshly taken photo of Mars
twenty love poems and a out-of-tune song
a hundred and fifty golden dreams
and a couple of more earthly fantasies
my bag of marbles, my childhood
and many congratulations
my hands full of caresses wrapped as a gift
my birth certificate endorsed with your name
and time to think about it
... if I knew you were coming I would have a cake, a cake..
a hundred and fifty golden dreams
and a couple of more earthly fantasies
my bag of marbles, my childhood
and all the congratulations
my hands full of caresses wrapped as a gift
my birth certificate endorsed with your name,
the time has run out
Today on your birthday I could get
everything I have and am for you
and everything that comes in exchange for that...
I don't know, we'll come up with something
and it's true that we'll come up with something
we'll come up with something...
