She has fifteen springs, few lies that she can tell
Two first-year earrings, and she still hasn't seen the sea
While she waits for him on the sidewalk, the world collapses
He has sixteen Augusts and a cloud that he stole
And verses from Extremoduro flying around the room
While he dreams of her he copies a poem that he'll later make his own
And, like every afternoon, the city freezes at the instant
In which he comes by to pick her up
"How was class?"
"You were late"
"Don't scold me, come"
And she presses the folder against her chest, and in the sky
Smoke anemones, coral antennas
"If you want, babe, I'll kidnap you one day and take you to see the sea"
One ordinary afternoon he'll come to get her
With his soul in a handkerchief, with dad's car
"Get on the ship, girl"
"This is the getaway that I promised you"
I hope that they have good luck, just like we dreamed it
And that the National Four may carry them to paradise
"Love, why are you crying?"
"What's the matter with you?"
"Maybe it's that I'm happy"
And right after passing Despeñaperros sleep comes over them
And the urge to share sweat
"I stop and we sleep"
Outside the cold stays with the dark night
After a while, the car gets filled with steam and flights
On endless beaches, endless road
Desert sands, a thousand sunsets that end in you
It won't be the light of dawn that will wake them
Nor a roaring big wave, it won't be the smell of salt that
A couple of cops shouting at them
Like the glass of dreams, on the way to the station
A couple of lives have shattered amid fights and shouts
Who would think of it? A cloud dissolves and a wave breaks
And back to the city, where it never tastes of salt
Skin and rain, that sometimes kisses you
They head home, they hear howls, blows that don't stop
The old folks forbade them to go out, time kept plowing their lives
Burning poems, endless road
Back towards home, a thousand sunsets that end without you
The city kept collapsing, on the sidewalk in the meantime
Smoke anemones, coral antennas
He gets lost in the mist and she only remembers when she looks at the sea
The doubt of being alive assaults her and she remembers some escape
When she still didn't know how to lie
"Love, why are you crying?"
"What's the matter with you?"
"Maybe it's that I'm happy"
