Negra Noche
Joaquín Sabina
Black Night
The night I love is murky like your eyes
Long like the silence, bitter like the sea
The night I love grows among the remains
That the city throws to the port of failure
The night I love has two thousand corners
With women who say: Can you give me a light, dude?
And family fathers who open their coats
The night I love never dawns
Black night, don't treat me like this
Black night, I expect so much from you
Made-up night, like a mannequin
Night scented with patchouli, with patchouli
The night I love is a dark basement
Where sailors go who want to shipwreck
There's always a drunk holding up a wall
Flames at dawn and they let you in
The urban prophets come out of their lairs
When the night puts on its metal boots
And the crazy and the suicidal dance holding each other
The night I love never dawns
Black night, don't treat me like this
Black night, I expect so much from you
Made-up night, like a mannequin
Night scented with patchouli, with patchouli
