Cada mañana bostezas
Every morning you yawn
Amenazas al despertador
Threats to the alarm clock
Y te levantas gruñendo
And you wake up grumbling
Cuando todavía duerme el sol
When the sun still sleeps
Mínima tregua en el bar
minimum truce in the bar
Café con dos de azúcar y croissant
Coffee with two sugar and croissant
El metro huele a podrido
The subway smells rotten
Carne de cañón y soledad
Cannon fodder and loneliness
Tirso de Molina, Sol, Gran Vía, Tribunal
Tirso de Molina, Sol, Gran Vía, Court
¿Dónde queda tu oficina para irte a buscar
Where is your office to go look for
Cuando la ciudad pinte sus labios de neón
When the city paints its neon lips
Subirás en mi caballo de cartón
You will climb on my cardboard horse
Me podrán robar tus días… tus noches no
They can steal your days... not your nights
Que buena estás corazón
how good are you heart
Cuando pasas grita el albañil
When you pass the mason shouts
El obseso del vagón se toca mientras piensa en tí
The obsessed man in the wagon touches himself while thinking of you
La voz de tu jefe brama
Your boss's voice bellows
'Estas no son horas de llegar'
'These are not the hours to arrive'
Mientras tus manos archivan tu mente empieza a navegar
While your hands file your mind begins to navigate
Tirso de Molina, Sol, Gran Vía, Tribunal
Tirso de Molina, Sol, Gran Vía, Court
¿Dónde queda tu oficina para irte a buscar?
Where is your office to go look for?
Cuando la ciudad pinte sus labios de neón
When the city paints its neon lips
Subirás en mi caballo de cartón
You will climb on my cardboard horse
Me podrán robar tus días… tus noches no
They can steal your days... not your nights
Ambiguas horas que mezclan al borracho y al madrugador
Ambiguous hours that mix the drunkard and the early riser
Danza de trajes sin cuerpo al obsceno ritmo del vagón
Dance of disembodied suits to the obscene rhythm of the wagon
Hace siglos que pensaron
Centuries ago they thought
'Las cosas mañana irán mejor'
'Things will be better tomorrow'
Es pronto para el deseo y muy tarde para el amor
It's early for desire and too late for love
Tirso de Molina, Sol, Gran Vía, Tribunal
Tirso de Molina, Sol, Gran Vía, Court
¿Dónde queda tu oficina para irte a buscar?
Where is your office to go look for?
Cuando la ciudad pinte sus labios de neón
When the city paints its neon lips
Subirás en mi caballo de cartón
You will climb on my cardboard horse
Me podrán robar tus días… tus noches no
They can steal your days... not your nights
