Un Año Más

In Puerta del Sol, like the year that was
Once again the champagne and grapes
And the carpet tar are there

The firecrackers that erase sounds from yesterday
And heat up the spirit to accept
That another year has passed

And in the old clock, like year after year
Five more minutes for the countdown
We take stock of the good and bad
Five minutes before the countdown

Sailors, soldiers, singles, married
Lovers, wanderers, and some
Distracted priest

Amidst shouts and whistles, the Spaniards
Tall, short, for once we all
Do something together

And in the old clock, like year after year
Five more minutes for the countdown
We take stock of the good and bad
Five minutes before the countdown

And although there are some new ones for the grapes
We will miss those who are no longer here
And let's see if we wake up those of us who are alive
And in the coming year we laugh

One, two, three, and four
And it starts again
The fifth is one and the sixth is two
And so the seventh is three

And we say goodbye and ask God
That in the coming year
Maybe instead of one million
It could be two

In Puerta del Sol, like the year that was
Once again the champagne and grapes
And the carpet tar are there
