Bailar hasta morir
Tino Casal
Dance Until I Die
I spin around non-stop
not knowing what to do
in this absurd hotel bar.
Like just another customer,
like just another stranger,
I get lost and smoke more, what can I do?
And I slide through the snow,
I hear behind the walls,
a little more dose, what can I do?
I want to dance forever,
I want to dance until I die
and how hard it is to keep going.
You think
that it’s all been set up for me.
It’s not like that, it’s cost me sweat.
Give me time to get there,
just time, you’ll see.
Much more time, to be close to you.
I want to dance, dance until I die.
I’m just another shadow, I’m just another aquarium.
And I chase myself in every corner
like naked ghosts a go-go
in the room,
looking for something beyond
in a strange profession.
I turn off the TV—
it bores me more and more,
the background music is my weakness.
A little more dose,
I want to dance until I die,
I want to get out of here, for you, for you, for you.
And just like that I look at myself
and talk to the mirror.
The afternoon is already steel and old gold.
