Corre, Dijo La Tortuga
Joaquín Sabina
Run, Said the Tortoise
Run said the tortoise
Dare said the coward
I'm back said a guy
Who never went anywhere
Save me said the executioner
I know it was you
Said the guilty one
Don't shout at me said the deaf one
Today is Thursday said Tuesday
Don't perfume yourself
With words to console me
Leave me alone with myself
With the intimate enemy
Who barely survives on a pension
In my heart
The suspicious one, the fugitive
The darkest of the two
The poor relative of doubt
The one who never undresses
If I don't undress
The capricious one
The proud one
The other, the treacherous accomplice
I'm talking to you
Who never follow my advice
I'm shouting at you
Who are in my shoes
To you who are crying there
On the other side of the mirror
To you whom I owe nothing
But the push that last night
Led me to write this song
Don't lie said the liar
Good luck said the jinx
Take care of the soul said
The fat meat seller
Taste me said the poison
Love me as lovers hate
No drugs said the camel
How much are you worth said the gangster
I was about to give up
On the verge of burning the ships
When on the edge of the road
Twice destiny
Winked at me in the form of
A woman's lips
You invite us for a drink
I'll dry your sweat
And I'll hug you under your clothes
Today who will sleep with me
Don't even dream about it
An indignant one
And another delighted
She said nothing and smiled
I'm talking to you
Who never follow my advice
I'm shouting at you
Who are in my shoes
To you who are crying there
On the other side of the mirror
To you whom I owe nothing
But the push that last night
Led me to write this song
