Nombres Impropios
Joaquín Sabina
Improper Names
It cannot be affirmed
That she was deceiving me when she lied to me
Her name was Audacity
And from the first day
She had the cowardice to warn
Who has seven lives
And two eyes of a stray cat
Doesn't go with just anyone
From her night is expected
A brooch of unfulfilled promises
Better not to make mistakes
Never ask me for what I don't give
You already know how I am and if you want I'll leave
She said when she finished undressing
You see
Reaching the end of the month
Was not a matter of money with her
It was more about deserving
A train of passengers
The tsunami of a sea turned woman
Ready in every wave to be reborn
Her name was Heresy
How am I supposed to know
If she was deceiving me when she lied to me
Master in confusing
The devil and the king of altars
She would meet me in bars
With juggling fires
And then she would forget to come
Morning and afternoon
What a swing between boasting and agony
Everything confused her
Her swing, because she knew
How to look like a burning twilight
Silent in response
When I played the pain of the heart
Her mouth was a voice mailbox without
Compassion
Asleep until nap time
You see
Reaching the end of the month
Was not a matter of stewardship with her
It was more about understanding
The pure impertinence
Of the Sun when it gets tired of amazing
From the counter at closing time
Her name was irony
And I can't swear
That she was deceiving me when she lied to me
You see
Reaching the end of the month
Was not signing a crime report
It was more about aging
Orphan of her kisses
With ghosts that learn to
Grow
Hugs that die to return
Her name was utopia
I like to imagine
That she deceived me when she said goodbye
That she deceived me when she said goodbye
