Luces de Bohemia Para Elisa
Emmanuel
Bohemian Lights for Elisa
Bohemian lights were illuminating
Upon leaving the academy
The clumsy walks
Of your disoriented feet
On both sides of reality
Dancing girl and I, behind.
From your steel calves
I hung my gaze
While I was scheming
Where, how, how and when
To approach a blossoming teenager
It's so hard to gather courage
And exclaim decisively
Could you tell me the time, please?
And today, hanging from your laughter
I'm a madman on the ledge
Balancing for Elisa
From your tiny breasts
Minutes overflow
Turning ten o'clock
Into an injustice
Bohemian lights in each tooth
You answered with a smile
You have a clock right there
It's twenty minutes to nine
And at my house they have dinner at ten
Why don't you invite me for coffee?
A twist around
And Don Juan became Doña Inés
With more eagerness than skill
You unbutton my shirt
Kisses for Elisa by the buttons
And lost in your hair
I'm a righteous man who's gone to heaven
Without ever having attended mass
Bohemian lights for Elisa
Bohemian lights for Elisa
And today, hanging from your laughter
I'm a madman on the ledge
Balancing for
From your tiny breasts
Minutes overflow
Turning ten o'clock
Into an injustice
