Cuando Éramos Reyes
Quique González
When We Were Kings
We ran through Madrid, chasing some ball
We drank in the bars until we saw the sun
We burned the engine, the train tracks creaked again
We kissed treacherously, that Marilyn
With a Brigitte Bardot's old-fashioned air
We went to sleep, heart intact
And we didn't lose anything
And we didn't lose anything
Because we sealed everything at the foot of that cove
Even our differences got along
Like two peas in a pod, in a pod...
When we were kings...
The art of living behind a song
Two girls warming up our room
And suddenly I heard 'hey' get on the plane
And there was no other choice
And don't move from your seat
Now it's time to enjoy the flight
With doves hooked to our fingers
We skirted the sea, the sea
When we were kings...
Every moment lived
Every suitcase closed
Each one of my friends
Waiting for me in the anteroom
At the foot of any road
At the edge of the morning
A heart on fire
Brings life and light to dawn, to dawn
Each one of my friends
When we were kings
Each one of my friends
When we were kings...
