Fulanos de Nadie

You lived far away, I never really knew.
If you had a name, I forgot it.
It's 5 o'clock and Palermo has little to tell.
At home, there are two wines, if you promise not to fall in love
We get into a ghost taxi.
The sun's snout was peeking out.
Another night,
another pillow far from the nest
and me without a shell.
This wooden leg was always more cunning than my heart.
And that's how we were, nobodies' nobodies.
It's damn hard to outsmart loneliness.
Let's say little, darling.
And let's toast to what comes and goes.
For this new thing... It wasn't so bad.
There are no champion kisses in the first round.
Then we fell asleep.
I don't think I even hugged you.
Outside, it was raining like the second-to-last time.
I gather the shards of a glass while you read a paper
and we plan a trip to Gesell that we'll never take.
This eye patch always went further than my heart.
And that's how we were, nobodies' nobodies.
It's damn hard to outsmart loneliness.
Don't say anything, darling.
Let's toast to what comes and goes.
It always goes.
What heals us goes.
It stays for a while,
pampers us,
lies to us,
and then it goes.
Then it goes.
This wooden leg was always more cunning than my heart.
And that's how we were, nobodies' nobodies.
It's damn hard to outsmart loneliness.
Fill up your glass, darling
and let's toast to what will never be.
