Pequeña Criatura

I'll pick you up at the end of work,
Madrid lacks caresses and hugs.
We'll give them now.

"How was everything? Did you miss me?
You know, last night you appeared in my dreams,
you were wearing less clothes".

"Today I found in the Second Hand
a modest, central, cheap apartment,
in paradise just a few minutes away,
if we take the Metro, from the rest of the world".

I dream about it while my warmth awaits you.
Impatient, inexperienced, I burn the dinner.
You arrive home late.

"Where have you been? I thought you were lost".
You kiss me and endure my beautiful lies.
You finally bring calm.

One of these days I'll scare you and ask you,
seriously and formally, to marry me.
Oh, my life, one day I'll be the one scaring you,
and if you ask me, I'll answer "yes".

Little creature, the purest essence
comes in a small bottle.
My love, I know, the same container also
holds poison.

I take the risk, I look at you and plan
a life with you full of dreams.
And if they don't come true when we wake up,
with the daylight we'll see what we do.

Little creature, the purest essence
comes in a small bottle.
My love, I know, the same container also
holds poison.

I take the risk, I look at you and plan.
If you need a pillow, I offer you my chest.
And if you don't fit into its nooks,
with the daylight we'll see what we do.
