Perfumaron mi juventud

Al milagro de los besos robados

Que en el diccionario de mis pecados

Guardaron su pétalo azul

A la impúdica niñera madura
To the immodest mature babysitter
Que en el mapamundi de su cintura
that on the world map of his waist
Al niño que fuí espabiló
The child that I was woke up
A la flor de lis de las peluqueras

Que me trajo el tren de la primavera

Y el tren

A las flores de un día

Que no duraban

Que en asiento de atrás de un coche

No preguntaban

Si las querías

Aves de paso

Como pañuelos cura-fracasos

Tres pisos en ascensor

Que en el corazón con tinta china

Me tatuó 'peor para el sol'

A las casquivanas novias de nadie

Que coleccionaban canas al aire

Burlón de la 'nit de Sant Joan'
Mocking of the 'nit de Sant Joan'
A la reina de los bares del puerto
To the queen of the bars in the port
Que una noche depués de un concierto
That one night after a concert
Me abrió

Su almacén de besos con sal

A la Mata-Hari, a la Magdalena

A Fátima why a Salomé

A los ojos verdes como aceitunas

Que robaban la luz de la luna de miel

De un cuarto de hotel, dulce hotel
