Esta Noche Contigo

Let the cars not start
Let all the factories stop
Let the city fill with long nights
And cold streets

Let the candles be lit
Let the theaters and hotels close
Let the sentinels fall asleep
In the barracks

Let the bullets get wet
Let the photos in magazines be erased
Let the schoolgirls kiss
The artists

Let the people play
Let the trains not reach the border
Let the waitresses be affectionate
With the customers

Because I'm going out tonight with you
The cathedrals will run out of candles
And we'll be two cats sheltered
By the doorways

Let the flowers get angry
Let the storks return to the calendar
Let the dictators and notaries suffer for love

Let oblivion die
Let the keys of the courthouses be hidden
Let Cupid remember the husbands
Abandoned

When my message finally reaches
Your hands, at the old gas station
I will wait
And together we will embark
On the road
That I told you about

We will leave hanging
The whimsical moon over the cinemas
And the public statues toppled
In the gardens
