Yo También Sé Jugarme La Boca
Joaquín Sabina
I Also Know How to Risk My Mouth
He was the fish with the best hips
From the sea of fashion
He let himself be hugged by anyone
(Including me)
His words said by heart
What they all say
His pupils told stories
To stay awake
I was the last monkey, a lowly
Lonely onlooker
At weddings some double step
Of loose talk
The taboo perfume of Chanel
And the Larios cocktail
They don't usually look for a motel
When the bar closes
Because there have always been classes and I
Am the invisible man
Who one night dreamed an impossible
Similar to love
Because the world is unfair, kid
But if they provoke me
I also know how to risk my mouth
I also know how to kiss
We shared the same towel
Different sweats
There are still islands with beaches
Saffron-colored
I was her half lemon, her darling
Her worst Latin lover
Her Spanish lesson, her slip
Her like this, her like that
But one day they removed the tables
And until another summer
The best promises are those
That don't need to be fulfilled
And travelers on the train, we're leaving
A kite told me
Skinny, behave yourself, goodbye
Good luck in Paris
Because there have always been classes and I
I'm not good as a husband
Again losing a game
Without touching the ball
Because the world is unfair, kid
But if they provoke me
I also know how to risk my mouth
What can I tell you
