El Comienzo

It all started at the bar of that place,
your lips taught me how to kiss with style,
the night with rum was witness to the things,
that I whispered softly in your ear.
It all began with the music from the bar,
we both sang a song by Rubén Blades,
challenging my heart not to fall in love,
and with the day, I’d fade into oblivion, into oblivion,
while we talked about the sky,
the stars and the losers, I compared you to a rose,
but you were so proud that you called me a liar,
and all I needed was your smile to slow my pace,
I was fine just being the air,
while the music of the dance matched the sway of your shirt.
It all started at the bar of that place.
It all began and couldn’t be stopped,
we both wanted it, we were madness without an end,
we made love to the point that the pain penetrated my soul,
and I felt everything end when dawn arrived,
we finished with the rum until I grew to hate it,
everything ended and I was left alone again,
with my illusion in oblivion, in oblivion,
while we talked about the sky,
the stars and the losers, I compared you to a rose,
but you were so proud that you called me a liar,
and all I needed was your smile to slow my pace,
I was fine just being the air,
while the music of the dance matched the sway of your shirt.
It all started at the bar of that place.
