Donde Habita El Olvido
Joaquín Sabina
Where Oblivion Lives
When she woke up
She didn't remember anything
From the night before
Too many beers
She said, looking at my head
Next to hers, on the pillow
And I kissed her again
But it was no longer yesterday
But tomorrow
And an insolent Sun
Like a thief, came in
Through the window
The day that arrived
Had purple circles under the eyes
And mud on the heel
Naked, but strangers
It saw us, the deception broken
From the night, the harsh light of dawn
It was time to flee
And she left, without saying
Call me one day
From the balcony, I saw her
Getting lost, in the hustle
Of the Gran Vía
And life went on
As things that don't
Make much sense do
Once a common friend told me
That he saw her
Where oblivion lives
The pupil stored
A red traffic light
A backpack, a Peugeot
And those nearsighted eyes
And the blood galloping
Through my veins
And a cloud of sand
Inside the heart
And this streak of love
Without appetite
The kisses I lost
For not knowing how to say
I need you
And life went on
As things that don't
Make much sense do
Once a common friend told me
That he saw her
Where oblivion lives
