La Casa Nueva

Recited.
Today we are celebrating,
we have a new house
and it must be inaugurated
as God commands.

There is everything,
barbecue, stew, champagne,
white wine, the other one,
many people and the house.

The new house,
our house,
the result of so many years
filled with white sorrows.

First there were speeches, (I remember)
they congratulated us,
they even took pictures of us
with the old lady, embraced.

Then, and as is logical,
there is nothing important anymore,
only the drink matters,
the food and the dance.

I watch them from afar,
the children are grown up,
my daughter with her boyfriend,
my son and his buddy.

My wife with the dishes,
me with my glass, alone,
I look for her in a corner
hidden from everyone.

Hello old lady! Shall we dance?
Who cares about all these!,
neither the house matters
what matters is us.
Take off the apron
I want to see you in celebration,
enough with the dishes,
now you are the queen.

Drink, you, from my glass
as in the old times,
I drink from yours,
friends?... friends.

Song
Let me dance, with you, the beautiful joy of the last waltz,
love, love, love,
let's live, united, in this moment our eternity,
love, love, love.

Recited
You know something?
there's something I don't understand,
I wanted a party
with the children and grandchildren,
and so many people came
that I had to look for you,
as you see, hidden,
to be able to talk to you.

I wonder what would happen
if someone caught me
telling you, in secret,
my sinister ideas,

A house, what house?
if this is a shack,
compared to others
that are called houses.

The new house,
(of course!) from today the house of the elderly
for dancing, alone,
an old waltz.

Song
Let me dance, with you, the beautiful joy of the last waltz,
love, love, love,
let me look into your eyes remembering times that won't return,
love, love, love.

Look, everyone has left,
we are left alone,
I'm almost drunk, it seems,
do you understand? alone, alone,

without children, do you see?
they leave, they leave. happy,
you are getting older,
I'm older and sadder.

Well, let's dance,
only God understands what's happening,
after all, or nothing,
we have a new house.

Song
Let me dance, with you, the beautiful joy of the last waltz,
love, love, love,
let me know, it's true, that nothing takes away our happiness,
love, love, love.
