Juan Y Maria

Now I was the hero
and my horse only spoke English
The cowboy's girlfriend
was you, besides three others
I faced a battalion
a German and his cannon
I kept my marbles
and practiced a rock
for the matinees.

Now I was a king
a sheriff and also a judge
and by my own law
people were forced to be happy
You were also a princess that I crowned
You were so beautiful, worthy of admiration
that you went naked throughout the country.

No, don't run away, no
Pretend that now I was your toy
I was yours, I, your favorite bug
Come, give me a hand
dream that now we had no fear
In the time of evil
I think we hadn't even been born.

Now it was fatal
that the make-believe
ended like this
Outside of this garden
it was a never-ending night
because you left my life
like that, without warning
and now I was crazy to ask
what the world
is going to do with me.
