Esperando El Amor

Surrendered at noon
She killed time with the tale
Of the night before
Covering the sleeplessness
Her face with multicolored makeup
She owned a corner
In the city center
There she made a living and there was where
She stole my dreaming

I spent nights calling out to the day
To rush out and wait
For the woman with an eternal smile
To stand in the same place
In her lost gaze, there was no happiness
Maybe because at noon
Her age seemed easier to see

While I
Standing in the alley
Here I am
Still waiting for love
She sold for just a couple of bills
Ten minutes of intense passion
And with my worn-out pocket
I pretended to buy her heart
Then tell her, my dear
I only have one illusion
And I would pay with my life if you decided
To give me your love

I arrived without fail like every day
Not knowing she wouldn't come back
Sitting, she cried in front of her mirror
Claiming the reflection of yesterday
For the beauty on the surface
Time made her lose
And she never returned to that corner
Now dominated by a new woman

While I
Standing in the alley
Here I am
Still waiting for love
