Maracas

(Let me tell you the story of two guys
Who in their youth used to serenade the same girl
Time separated them, and it was also time
That brought them back together again
And this is what happened at their reunion)

Buddy, come on, let me buy you a drink (no thanks, I don’t drink)
You don’t drink? Alright, how about a coffee? (sure)
I want to remember the crazy times
From back when we were sixteen

So, what’s up with your wife? (Mmm, we got divorced)
She probably left you for being unfaithful
Remember how I used to send her roses?
But she fell for your carnation more (that’s right)

We used to serenade together
Together up to that balcony
You with the guitar and me with maracas
She was fifteen and we were sixteen

We used to serenade together
Together up to that balcony
I with the guitar and you with maracas
She was fifteen and we were sixteen

Just because you’re my friend, I’ll confess (what’s up?)
I got divorced, but I never forgot her (hmm)
I miss her gaze, I dream of her return
I love her more than when I got married

Let’s serenade together (no, it’s pointless)
They need to know this
I with the guitar and you with maracas
Win her over, love her
Like when we were sixteen

We used to serenade together (let’s go)
Together up to that balcony
You with the guitar and me with maracas
Win her over, love her
Like when we were sixteen
Like when we were sixteen
Like when we were sixteen
Like when we were sixteen
