El Barco Que Se Hunde

We dance on a sinking ship
To the tune of one last bolero
In this very place where a few months ago
There were laughs, so many caresses

But today we dance on a ship
That can't take it anymore
We know we won't see the morning
No matter how hard we try to keep it afloat
Bucket after bucket, it couldn't be done

The water is already up to our waists
Staying one more minute would be madness
Feet frozen
Chest pressed against yours
It's so hard

After surviving a thousand storms
Toasting with the finest champagne
Hope rushed and we didn't sign life jackets
That's for others, not us. No

And now the water reaches our shoulders
And all the debris of our love is floating
Against all odds, we keep dancing
We keep dancing, dancing, dancing

There are no words left unsaid
We gave everything, said too much
There are no innocents between us
There were no sailors, just too many captains
You don't let go and neither do I
Who would've thought?
This is crazy!

And now the water is up to our necks
The taste so salty is not from the sea but from tears
Feet frozen
Chest pressed against yours
It's so absurd
But today we dance on a sinking ship
