Músico de Guardia

I've laughed while crying and I've cried while laughing
I've swum with dolphins in the Guadalquivir
I've seen flowers grow from the trash
And empires fall in their own garden

I've reached the moon and kissed it on the mouth
I've knocked down walls that never existed
I've won fights kissing the canvas
Never a dog barked at me, but everyone bit me

I tried to experience everything, but never understood anything
I was the on-duty musician
On a pirate ship

And suddenly you arrive
You lie down next to me on the mattress
You turn my world upside down
You write a yes over a no

You show me how to pick flowers
You kiss me in the middle of songs
I don't know which button you've pressed
But I like the world more

Before you, everything was a rehearsal
The world was a gin and tonic, without ice and without lemon
I climbed to the top of empty mountains
And had to mend my heart a thousand times

I tried to experience everything, but never understood anything
I was the on-duty musician
On a pirate ship

And suddenly you arrive
You lie down next to me on the mattress
You turn my world upside down
You write a yes over a no
