In a cafe, they met by chance
Tired in the soul from so much walking
She had a carnation in her hand
He came over and asked her if she was okay
She would tiptoe to the window
And he took her walking through streams
Look everyone, they alone
They can more than love and are stronger than Olympus
They hid in the center and in the bathroom of a bar
They sealed everything, everything with a kiss
For a month they sold roses in peace
I feel like nothing else mattered
And between the two they were hiding something
I don't know why, but I never saw them again
He carries 11 and she carries 6
And if she laughed, she gave him the moon
Look everyone, they alone
They can more than love and are stronger than Olympus
They hid in the center and in the bathroom of a bar
They sealed everything with a kiss

sellaronthey sealed

Sellaron comes from the verb sellar, meaning 'to seal'. It's an interesting word because it goes beyond a simple 'kissed' or 'agreed'.

In the song, it's used twice: first, "Sellaron todo, todo con un beso" (They sealed everything, everything with a kiss), and later, "Sellaron todo con un beso." This repetition emphasizes the profound commitment and finality of their actions, suggesting their love was so powerful it 'sealed' their fate and their world together.

"11 y 6" tells the story of two strangers who meet by chance in a cafe, both worn out from life, and fall into a secret love affair. Fito Páez sings about them tiptoeing to windows, sneaking off to walk down Corrientes (Buenos Aires' famous downtown avenue), and hiding together in the center of the city and in a bar's bathroom to steal a kiss.

For a month they sell roses and live only for each other, keeping their romance hidden from everyone. The narrator never finds out exactly what they were carrying between them, or what happened after — he simply never saw them again. The title's numbers, 11 and 6, are left deliberately mysterious, a private detail that belongs only to the two lovers.

It's a song about a love so intense it feels bigger than mythology itself ("stronger than Olympus"), and about the bittersweet mystery of a romance that burns bright, stays secret, and then disappears without explanation.
