El Dormilón
Ivan Ferreiro
The Sleeper
She wants to save the planet
And he wants the world to govern itself
She flies on a bicycle
And he calls her from a taxi
She lives all over the world
And he sees the world on TV
She is a goddess
And he is a comet
She sleeps at night
And doesn't remember what she dreams
He dreams of sleeping when she sleeps
And dreams of dreaming what she dreams
And dreams of dreaming what she dreams
She is the hope of humanity
And he writes while she sleeps
He smokes and obeys
She speaks and shines
She sings naked a song
And he looks at her and licks his lips
He gets lost in her hair
She hugs herself tightly and says
That the nights with their moons
And the moons with their bones
Kidnap us both
May the rains and the suns
And the leaves on the ground
Find us both
May the years and the present
Surprise us both
She always looks forward
He never looks back
She sleeps and dreams even if she doesn't remember
He writes while she sleeps
She is the hope of humanity
And he writes while she sleeps
He smokes and obeys
She speaks and shines
She smiles and devours life
He devours life and smiles
He dreams of sleeping when she sleeps
And dreams of dreaming what she dreams
And dreams of dreaming what she dreams
He dreams of dreaming what she dreams
And dreams of dreaming what she dreams
That the nights with their moons
And the moons with their bones
Kidnap us both
May the rains and the suns
And the leaves on the ground
Find us both
May the years and the present
Surprise us both
