Olor a nicotina mesas cojas, comandas de tequila luces rojas
Smell of nicotine lame tables, orders of tequila red lights
Tertulias que se olvidan cuando llega la maldita resaca
Gatherings that are forgotten when the damn hangover comes
Meseras con billetes en la blusa, trincheras de una luz semi difusa
Waitresses with bills in their blouses, trenches of a semi diffuse light
Que les quita la cara a los que esconden secretos personales
That takes away the face of those who hide personal secrets
El bar es un hotel de medio pelo, que le cura el desconsuelo
The bar is a hotel of average hair, that heals the grief
A los que no saben que hacer con el desvelo, como yo
To those who do not know what to do with sleeplessness, like me
Papeles por de bajo de la mesa, cócteles que te alivian la tristeza
Papers under the table, cocktails that relieve your sadness
Canciones como dagas en el pecho de la melancolía
Songs like daggers in the chest of melancholy
Historias que no van a ningún lado, glorias de un pasado tan pasado
Stories that go nowhere, glories of a past so past
Y mis sueños merodeando suicidados en la vieja tarima
And my suicidal dreams lurking on the old dais
Yo llevo aquí metido media vida y sigo sólo y sin salida recordando
I've been here half my life and I'm still alone and with no way out remembering
Todas las putas noches
All the fucking nights
Que ahí se sentaba ella, que ahí se enamoró de mí
That there she sat, that there she fell in love with me
Ahí mientras cantaba pintaba en servilletas
There while he sang he painted on napkins
Mensajes subversivos mientras se las sujetaba
Subversive messages while holding them
Ahí se sentaba ella, ahí se enamoró de mí
There she sat, there she fell in love with me
Ahí en esa silla ella un día se aburrió de mí
There in that chair she one day got bored of me
Dolores se llamaba que ironía, dolores no busca compañía
Dolores was called that irony, Dolores does not seek company
Que le durará mas que el after show y el sudor del camerino
That will last longer than the after show and the sweat of the dressing room
Se unió a los delirios del trasnoche se alió a los colirios y al derroche
He joined the late-night delusions, joined the eye drops and waste
Y yo que bauticé de amor lo que era compañía
And I who baptized with love what was company
Jamás vimos la luna, por que el bar nunca nos hizo recordar
We never saw the moon, because the bar never made us remember
Que a fuera el mundo continuaba sin nosotros
That outside the world continued without us
Por que ahí se sentaba ella, que ahí se enamoro de mí
Because there she sat, that there she fell in love with me
Ahí mientras cantaba pintaba en servilletas
There while he sang he painted on napkins
Mensajes subversivos mientras se las sujetaba
Subversive messages while holding them
Ahí se sentaba ella, ahí se enamoro de mí
There she sat, there she fell in love with me
Ahí en esa silla ella un día se aburrió de mí
There in that chair she one day got bored of me
Se me acabo el carisma si me vieras
I ran out of charisma if you saw me
Mi voz ya no es la misma si me oyeras
My voice is no longer the same if you heard me
La noche es una puta divertida, pero cobra factura
The night is a fun bitch but it takes a toll
Me fumó otro cigarro y la mañana, me opaca como barro en la ventana
I smoked another cigarette and the morning, it dulls me like mud on the window
Y vuelvo como siempre a recordar
And I come back as always to remember
Que ahí se sentaba ella, ahí se enamoro de mi
That there she sat, there she fell in love with me
Ahí en esa silla ella un día se aburrió de mí
There in that chair she one day got bored of me
Un jueves decidió no regresar, y no existe noche en este bar
One Thursday he decided not to return, and there is no night in this bar
Que yo no cante su canción por si regresa
That I don't sing his song in case he comes back
