Cruz Diablo

He looked at his hands sooner rather than later
And the precipice where their love dissolved
He thought about his name, the woman and the man
On tanned skin and a sun that no longer warms
You see, you see, the flesh loosens sometimes
See? Cross the devil, go on, I'll follow you

He looked at his photos, lit a cigarette
And fell asleep in clouds of sunken smoke
He dreamed of children, his neighborhood, his mother
With his brothers, with his dog and his father
You see, you see, we all lack something sometimes
See? Devil's cross, devil's cross

You didn't lose suddenly
Not even your luck was smashed to pieces by a deadly blow
I saw you losing slowly, slowly, always slowly
Like the shadows of the sunset that go slowly
This is how I see you, this is how I saw you, this is how they saw you and this is how they see you
Losing slowly, always slowly
Devil Cross

A new day offered him calm
The bitter mate, a cigarette and the game
He counted the money, paid the worker's ticket
And an old passenger went to work
You see, you see, the flesh loosens sometimes
You see, we all lack something sometimes
You see, but these things are not seen
See? Cross the devil, go on, I'll follow you
