Lyrics

Español

¡Deja el vaso de licor, no pienses tanto...! ¡Ven y miénteme esta noche tu pasión! El olvido esta tentándome en tus labios y enloquezco de recuerdos y de alcohol. ¡No, no bebas! ¡Ven y bésame! ¿Que esperas...? Emborráchate de amor igual que yo. Que te puede ya importar, si nada entregas. Si también tú, tienes muerto el corazón. Deja la copa, dame tu boca y atúrdeme de amor en vez de alcohol. ¿Por qué es que no me besas...? No tengo a dónde ir y allá en la pieza me esperan los demonios del rencor. No, no estoy loco, muerde mi boca y déjame creer que esto es amor. El olvido esta tentándome en un guiño desde el fondo de tus ojos de carbón, y en la cita sin razón del desatino, hace fácil su locura, la pasión. Ven y ayúdame a olvidar entre tus brazos con la trágica mentira de este amor que en el nuevo amanecer se ira borrando con la noche de locura en que nació.

English · machine translation

Put down the glass of liquor, don't think so much...! Come and lie to me tonight your passion! Forgetfulness is tempting me on your lips and I'm going crazy with memories and alcohol. No, don't drink! Come and kiss me! What are you waiting for...? Get drunk with love just like me! What can you care, if you don't give anything away? If you, too, are dead at heart. Leave the cup, give me your mouth and stun me with love instead of alcohol. Why don't you kiss me...? I have nowhere to go and there in the room the demons of resentment are waiting for me. No, I'm not crazy, bite my mouth and let me believe that this is love. Oblivion is tempting me in a wink from the bottom of your coal eyes, and in the unreasonable rendezvous of inanity, makes easy its madness, passion. Come and help me to forget between your arms with the tragic lie of this love that in the new dawn will fade away with the night of madness in which it was born.
