Contraley
Real de Catorce
Against the Law
You are my winter shelter
the skies shiver with cold
guarding hope in the sack
and some sugar cubes.
You arrive like a princess
before your lazy prince
I burn in the light of your mouth
I hear Rhapsody in Blue,
together one in the other with the windows open.
How would the cities be in another life?
How would the cities be in another life?
Where has our way of being taken us,
our silent madness shows our magical yesterday?
Dance with me in the courtyard at dawn
under this rain and against the law.
Under this rain and against the law.
You are my winter friend
bring your truth to my bed
save my life tonight
save me from my soul.
Here we are so brutal
like two smoking dogs
giving birth to fire
with the ardor of love.
And even if we are sad
we always daydream
like two children running after a good day.
Like two children running after a good day.
Where has our way of being taken us,
our silent madness, our magical yesterday?
Dance with me in the courtyard at dawn
under this rain and against the law.
Under this rain and against the law.
