Rebajas de Enero
Joaquín Sabina
January Sales
Running away from the cold, I searched in the January sales
And found a short brunette who wasn't bad
Tired of waiting for true love so long
She decided to place an ad in the local press
Abstain, brutes and obsessives in search of orgasm
I'm not inclined to such excesses, so I wrote
I can give you everything - she added - except enthusiasm
We met three times, the fourth she came to sleep
She barely arrived
She settled forever in my life
There's nothing better
Than finding a love that fits
Like other couples, we had stories of jealousy
Stories of shouts and kisses, of sugar and salt
An apartment in Atocha is not so close to heaven
And I, truth be told, have never been an ideal lover
And against all odds, the years have passed
We have a stove, two cats, and a color TV
If two don't deceive each other, they can hardly be disappointed
Strong emotions? Look for them in another song
She barely arrived
She settled forever in my life
There's nothing better
Than finding a love that fits
