It was ten at night, I was piloting my ride
My taxi was a ’68 Volkswagen
It was one of those bad days when there's no fare
The sequins on a dress flagged me down
She was a gorgeous blonde, she wore a miniskirt
The neckline on her back reached right to glory
A black tear rolled down her cheek
While the mirror said: Look at those calves!
It was ten forty, I zigzagged on Reforma
She said: My name's Norma, while she crossed her leg
She pulled out a strange cigarette, one of those that make you laugh
I offered her a light fast and my hand was shaking
I asked who she cried for and she said: For some guy
Who thinks that because he's rich he can come and cheat on me
Don't fall over love, you need to get up
Count on this servant if what you want is revenge
What does a taxi driver do seducing life?
What does a taxi driver do building a wound?
What does a taxi driver do in front of a lady?
What does a taxi driver do with his bedroom dreams?
I saw him hugging and kissing a humble girl
She's from a very simple class, I know by her looks
She smiled at me in the mirror and sat sideways
I was stupefied, with the mirror steamed up
She said: Turn at the corner, we'll go to my place
After a couple of tequilas we'll see what happens
Why describe what we did on the rug
If it's enough to sum it up that I kissed her down to her shadow
Don't feel so lonely, I suffer, though it's not the same
My woman and my schedule have opened an abyss
How one suffers on both sides of the social classes
You suffer in your mansion, I suffer in the slums
She said: Come with me, so you know I'm not alone
She tied her hair in a ponytail, we went to the bar where they were
We walked in and right then he was hugging a girl
See how huge fate is and how small this city is
What does a taxi driver do seducing life?
What does a taxi driver do building a wound?
What does a taxi driver do when a gentleman
Runs into his wife with timing and zeal?
Since that night they've played at deceiving us
They meet in the same bar
And the blonde hails the taxi, always at ten
