Te sabias el popurrí del Kamasutra
Did you know the potpourri of the Kamasutra
Y burlábamos la lay de gravedad
And we mocked the gravity lay
Intentábamos de todo sin preguntas
We tried everything without questions
Y mentíamos con toda honestidad
And we lied in all honesty
No había reloj ni presupuesto
There was no clock or budget
La piel lo que traíamos puesto
The skin what we were wearing
Y nos bastaba
And it was enough for us
Besos y croissant por desayuno
Kisses and croissant for breakfast
Sudor, gimnasia y piel para cenar
Sweat, gymnastics and skin for dinner
Homo sapiens en pleno siglo XXI
Homo sapiens in the XXI century
Trogloditas del amor al natural
Natural love troglodytes
Se nos dio un fideicomiso
We were given a trust
Por unos días el paraíso para los dos
For a few days paradise for both
Cavernícolas, eso fuimos
Cavemen, that we were
Sin patria, sin futuro, sin hogar
No homeland, no future, no home
Éramos dos y nos bastaba
There were two of us and it was enough for us
Quien sabe dios que nos gustaba
Who knows god we liked
Cavernícolas eso fuimos
Cavemen that we were
Jugando a diariamente a improvisar
Playing daily improvise
No tenia nombre ni apellido
I had no name or surname
Quien sabe si era permitido vivir así
Who knows if it was allowed to live like this
Yo te decía belleza
I used to tell you beauty
Yo era el flaco
I was the skinny one
Jamás memorizamos apellidos
We never memorize surnames
Sutil veneno tan afrodisíaco
Subtle poison so aphrodisiac
No depender de ningún sustantivo
Not depend on any noun
Jamás hablamos del futuro
We never talk about the future
Solo el presente era seguro
Only the present was safe
El resto humo
The rest smoke
Cavernícolas, eso fuimos
Cavemen, that we were
Sin patria, sin futuro, sin hogar
No homeland, no future, no home
Éramos dos y nos bastaba
There were two of us and it was enough for us
Quien sabe dios que nos gustaba
Who knows god we liked
Cavernícolas eso fuimos
Cavemen that we were
Jugando a diariamente a improvisar
Playing daily improvise
No tenia nombre ni apellido
I had no name or surname
Quien sabe si era permitido
Who knows if it was allowed
Y mientras como hojarasca
And while I eat litter
La realidad y la costumbre
Reality and custom
Y se acabo la inmunidad
And the immunity is over
La cueva se convirtió en casa
The cave became home
El azar en mansedumbre
Chance in meekness
Se suicido la libertad
Freedom committed suicide
Cavernícolas, eso fuimos
Cavemen, that we were
Sin patria, sin futuro, sin hogar
No homeland, no future, no home
Éramos dos y nos bastaba
There were two of us and it was enough for us
Quien sabe dios que nos gustaba
Who knows god we liked
Cavernícolas, eso fuimos
Cavemen, that we were
Jugando a diariamente a improvisar
Playing daily improvise
No tenia nombre ni apellido
I had no name or surname
Quien sabe si era permitido
Who knows if it was allowed
Yo te decía belleza
I used to tell you beauty
Yo era el flaco
I was the skinny one
Y mentíamos con toda honestidad
And we lied in all honesty
