Causas Perdidas

She appears, wields her beauty
and the city steps back for a moment...
I watch her from the depths of the waves of memory
of the kisses we lost in battle
We jumped, like kangaroos, from bar to bar,
those were crazy years
Napoleons swearing the unspeakable
in the neighborhood square

They were delicious times, I know,
life gives and takes from you
Years of going out to search the pockets of the night...

She said to me: 'let's use the stars in the hallway,
help me see the sky',
'after all, we are all lost causes,
from flesh to bones'
And today I'm afraid to see her like this,
with that mist in her eyes
'it's been a while since anyone passed by here, buddy,
could you stay a bit?'

They were delicious times, I know,
but life gives and takes from you
Years of going out to slip on the legs of the night...

Is it too much to ask for the past to come better dressed
and knock before entering?
Today memory is a treacherous and shoreless river
where one shouldn't fish...
'I ask you, don't be offended if I kiss like this,
with this winter on my lips...'
'It's been a while since anyone passed by here, buddy,
do you want to love me for a while?'

They were delicious times, I know,
life gives and takes from you
Years of going out to break the necks of the night...

They were delicious times, I know,
life gives and takes from you
Years of going out to search the pockets of the night
Night after night
Night after night...
