Sugiero que el más triste de los presos
I suggest that the saddest of prisoners
Tenga derecho a sábanas de seda;
Be entitled to silk sheets;
Bendita sea la boca que da besos
Blessed be the mouth that gives kisses
Y no traga monedas
and does not swallow coins
Propongo corromper al puritano,
I propose to corrupt the puritan,
Espiar en la ducha a las vecinas,
Spying on the neighbors in the shower,
Ir a quitarle al dios de los cristianos
Go take away the god from the Christians
Su corona de espinas
His crown of thorns
Nada de margaritas a los cuerdos,
No daisies to the sane,
Hay que correr más que la policía
You have to run faster than the police
Para bailar el vals de los recuerdos
To dance the waltz of memories
Llorando de alegría
crying with joy
La vida no es un block cuadriculado
Life is not a grid block
Sino una golondrina en movimiento
But a swallow on the move
Que no vuelve a los nidos del pasado
That does not return to the nests of the past
Porque no quiere el viento
Because she doesn't want the wind
Se aconseja dormir a pierna suelta
She is advised to sleep soundly
Lejos de tentaciones de diseño,
Far from design temptations,
Que no pase de largo por tu puerta
Don't walk past your door
El hombre de tus sueños
The man of your dreams
La rana esconde un príncipe encantado,
The frog hides an enchanted prince,
Tu boca un agridulce de membrillo
Your mouth a bittersweet quince
Qué ganas de un cursillo acelerado
Can't wait for a crash course
De besos de tornillo!
Of screw kisses!
Y jugar por jugar
and play to play
Sin tener que morir o matar,
Without having to die or kill,
Y vivir al revés
and live backwards
Que bailar es soñar con los pies
That dancing is dreaming with your feet
Conviene entrar penúltimo en la meta
It is convenient to enter penultimate at the finish line
De la vuelta a la infancia en patinete
Back to childhood on a scooter
Y fusilar al rey de los poetas
And shoot the king of poets
Con balas de juguete
with toy bullets
Por qué no doctorarse en cremalleras
Why not get a PhD in zippers
Como haré la hormiguita por tu espalda
How will I do the ant on your back?
E hilvanar con jirones de banderas
And baste with tattered flags
Braguitas rojigualdas
reddish panties
Hacen falta cosquillas para serios,
Tickles are needed for serious,
Pensar despacio para andar deprisa,
Think slowly to walk fast
Dar serenatas en los cementerio
Serenade in the graveyard
Muriéndose de risa
dying of laughter
