Lyrics

Español

Y siempre igual; con sus luces mortecinas. Un cigarrillo y café para esperar. Ruido de dados, palabras con sordina. Y una esperanza rodando en el billar. Es siempre igual, todos los sueños sentados. Sed de llegar, sed del que no pudo ser... Y siempre igual, el teléfono ocupado. Express... marche un cortado oh, Mozo... ¿Cuánto es? Espera, que se acodó en la mesa, con triunfos que tardan en llegar. Fracaso, que pinta una cabeza con canas, así no sueña más. Pitada, con pretensión de beso... recuerdos con nombre de mujer. Poeta, yo también hice un verso. ¡El verso que nunca le diré! Vuelvo al café, ya no soy aquel que era; tal vez los años, cansancio, o qué se yo. Vuelvo al café y en su mesa de madera no ha de emprender nuevos viajes mi ilusión. Y es siempre igual; todos los sueños sentados. Un nuevo autor que anda en busca del laurel, y siempre igual; el teléfono ocupado. Express... ¡marche un cortado! Y Mozo... ¿Cuánto es?

English · machine translation

And always the same; with its dim lights. A cigarette and coffee to wait. Noise of dice, muffled words. And a hope rolling in the pool. It's always the same, all the dreams sitting. Thirst to arrive, thirst for what could not be.... And always the same, the phone busy. Express... march a cortado oh, waiter... How much is it? Wait, he's leaned on the table, with triumphs that are slow in coming. Failure, who paints a head with gray hair, so it doesn't dream anymore. Whistled, with the pretension of a kiss... memories with a woman's name. Poet, I also made a verse. The verse I will never tell you! I go back to the café, I am no longer who I was; maybe the years, tiredness, or what do I know. I go back to the café and at its wooden table my illusion does not have to undertake new journeys. And it is always the same; all the dreams seated. A new author who goes in search of the laurel, and it's always the same; the phone is busy. Express... I'll make a cortado! And Mozo... How much is it?
