Camas Vacias Lyrics in English Joaquin Sabina
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Camas Vacias by Joaquin Sabina from Spanish to English.
Capo en primer trate
I put a capo on the first fret
Ya no cierro los bares, ni hago tantos excesos
I no longer close the bars, nor do I indulge in excesses
Cada vez son más tristes las canciones de amor
Love songs are getting sadder every time
Ni tú bordas pañuelos, ni yo rompo contratos
You no longer embroider handkerchiefs, and I no longer break contracts
Ni yo mato por celos, ni tú mueres por mí
I don't kill out of jealousy, and you don't die for me
Antes de que me quieras como se quiere a un gato
Before you love me like one loves a cat
Me largo con cualquiera que se parezca a ti
I'll run away with anyone who resembles you
De par en par te abro las puertas que me cierras
I open the doors wide that you close on me
Me cuentan que el olvido no te sienta tan mal
They tell me that forgetting doesn't suit you so well
La paz que has elegido es peor que mi guerra
The peace you've chosen is worse than my war
Aquella cama nido parece un hospital
That cozy bed now feels like a hospital
Yo en cambio no he sabido ir a favor del viento
On the other hand, I haven't known how to go with the wind
Que muerde las esquinas de esta ciudad impía
That bites the corners of this impious city
Pobre aprendiz de brujo que escupe al firmamento
Poor apprentice sorcerer who spits at the sky
Desde un hotel de lujo, con dos camas vacías
From a luxury hotel, with two empty beds
Pobre aprendiz de brujo que escupe al firmamento
Poor apprentice sorcerer who spits at the sky
Desde un hotel de lujo, con dos camas vacías
From a luxury hotel, with two empty beds
¿Quién hará mi trabajo debajo de tu falda?
Who will do my job under your skirt?
La boca que era mía ¿de qué boca será
The mouth that was mine, whose mouth will it be?
El roto de tu ombligo ya no me da la espalda
Your belly button no longer turns its back on me
Cuando pierdo contigo lo que gano al billar
When I lose with you what I win at billiards
Aunque nunca me cayo, guardo un par de secretos
Although I never shut up, I keep a couple of secrets
Lo digo de hombre a hombre, de mujer a mujer
I say it man to man, woman to woman
Ni me caso con nadie, ni guardo para mis nietos
I don't marry anyone, nor do I save for my grandchildren
Por no tener, no tengo ni edad de merecer
I don't even have the age to deserve it
Como pago al contado, nunca me falta un beso
Since I pay in cash, I never lack a kiss
Siempre que me confieso, me doy la absolución
Whenever I confess, I give myself absolution
Ya no cierro los bares, ni hago tantos excesos
I no longer close the bars, nor do I indulge in excesses
Cada vez son más tristes las canciones de amor
Love songs are getting sadder every time
Ya no cierro los bares, ni hago tantos excesos
I no longer close the bars, nor do I indulge in excesses
Cada vez son más tristes las canciones de amor
Love songs are getting sadder every time
