Ultimo Amore

The June air was fresh
And the night felt summer coming
Tequila, Mariachi, and Sangria
The party invited to drink and dance
He, hunched and curious, was silent
Looking for a love story
Watching other women
Talking and dancing

And when the night is already dead
The birds usually announce the day
The embraced couples are the first
To leave the party to go make love
The now empty dance floor remained
He, tired and sweaty, waited
She playfully turned her skirt
And started dancing

She had sad eyes and drank
She twirled and laughed but seemed to suffer
He talked, hugged, danced
He looked into those eyes and tried to understand
And he said, 'I'm lame for love
My woman broke my heart'
She said, 'The heart of my love
Will never beat again'

And after the scent of the ditches
He seemed to see in those eyes
The same pain that breaks the veins
That leaves exhausted in the evening
The moon prayed to other stars
That the imperious dawn drove away
She gathered her spacious skirt
And now lost everything
Soon followed him

Crying, screaming, and enjoying
That night she joined him
Pushing, fearing, and embracing that night
He understood her
That his heart was not withered
And already his name sounded sweet
He released his vow of love
And gave himself to her

Then in the summer drinking and joking
A new season seemed to come to him
He talked, invented, played
She sometimes listened and seemed to enjoy
But when the evening came
She turned in bed crying
Praying for power from her love
To be able to return

And one day at the scent of the ditches
He waited in vain to see her arrive
The darkness was falling and he found
Only anger and the evening silence
The moon prayed to other stars
That the imperious dawn drove away
Only anguish remained
And the fierce regret
For not seeing her return

The train is a fiery flash
If you look crazily at the train coming
A moment, a frantic thought
And life is taken without further suffering
They could only recognize her
By the rings wet from her tears
The tears of that last love
That she had to abandon

He didn't say a single word
No, not a sigh escaped from his throat
The gendarmes are rough in their ways
If they don't have to gain from these episodes
So he remained alone to remember
The liquor seemed to never end
And inside that glass he saw
A night of love

When after the scent of the ditches
He seemed to see in those eyes
The same pain that breaks the veins
That leaves exhausted in the evening
The moon prayed to other stars
That the imperious dawn drove away
He was left only with resentment
For that brief love
That he never forgot
