Ponme Un Trago Más

It took my thirst
My kisses, my bread
My violence, my passion
Where will I go now
With a burden
In the place of the heart?

I lost her by KO
To the champion
She disappeared from the ring
Don't look for me, goodbye
She left written
On the mirror with lipstick

And the dogs of the market
Barked upon hearing

The ballad of the abandoned
With an out-of-tune saxophone
The song they sing
From bar to bar
Those who drink to forget

Give me another drink
I'm sorry, sir
But we close at three

Was it Cutty Sark?
Two thousand, please
We invite you to coffee

I already told you
Your girl is not here
She came but left
What do I care with whom?
They paid and in peace
My name is not Sherlock Holmes

And the cats of the market
Meowed upon hearing

The ballad of the abandoned
With an out-of-tune guitar
The song they sing
From bar to bar
Those who drink to forget

The taxi's radio cassette
Spit out
An old blues by B.B. King
About a guy who
Out of jealousy killed
Baby, in Memphis (Tennessee)

And the rats of the market
Jumped upon hearing

The ballad of the abandoned
With a out-of-tune heart
The song they sing
From bar to bar
Those who drink to forget
