Rumba Triste (Alegra Esa Cara)

Why do you sing sad rumbas when you're drunk
Why have you stayed locked up all night in your house
Why do you always remember to forget me, that you don't remember my face
That you have never served a first course
That you are no longer good for anything

And cheer up that face because if it doesn't rain and I don't have an umbrella
And go out to the street and cross the sidewalk, nothing happens
Tell your pillow that I pay the ransom
That you are no longer kidnapped
That you no longer live on Mars, that you no longer dream
Of having wings, of having wings

Tell me in my ear what you cried out loud yesterday
If you want me to leave, then I'll go
You think you've won the prize
Among all those who have lost everything
And now you see, I stay with you

And cheer up that face because if it doesn't rain and I don't have an umbrella
And go out to the street and cross the sidewalk, nothing happens
Tell your pillow that I pay the ransom
That you are no longer kidnapped
That you no longer live on Mars, that you no longer dream
Of having wings, of having wings

Take me to heaven, with the air from your mouth
Like candy that melts a heart of pure ice
Don't pay attention to me when I get tangled in your hair
I always fail and end up asking for a little more time

Cheer up that face because if it doesn't rain and I don't have an umbrella
Go out to the street and cross the sidewalk, nothing happens
Tell your pillow that I pay the ransom
That you are no longer kidnapped
That you no longer live on Mars, that you no longer dream
Of having wings, of having wings, oh of having wings
