Esta es la canción de las noches perdidas
This is the song of lost nights
Que se canta al filo de la madrugada
That is sung at the edge of dawn
Con el aguardiente de la despedida
With the brandy of farewell
Por eso suena tan desesperada
That's why it sounds so desperate
Ven a la canción de las noches perdidas
Come to the song of lost nights
Si sabes que todo sabe a casi nada
If you know that everything tastes like almost nothing
A carrera en los leotardos de la vida
To race in the tights of life
A bola de alcanfor dormida en la almohada
A camphor ball asleep on the pillow
Y tiene nombre de mujer
And it has a woman's name
Como la soledad, como el consuelo
Like loneliness, like consolation
Los fugitivos del deber
fugitives from duty
No encuentran taxi libre para el cielo
They can't find a free taxi to heaven
Esta es la canción de las noches perdidas
This is the song of lost nights
Lleva un crisantemo ajado en la solapa
He wears a faded chrysanthemum on his lapel
Se sube a la cabeza como ciertas bebidas
It goes to the head like certain drinks
Miente como mienten todos los boleros
Lie as all boleros lie
Y tiene nombre de mujer
And it has a woman's name
Como mi corazón, como tu olvido
Like my heart, like your oblivion
Los fugitivos del deber
fugitives from duty
No tienen más amor que el que han perdido
They have no more love than the one they have lost
Esta es la canción de las noches perdidas
This is the song of lost nights
Si quieres te la cambio por un rato en tu cama
If you want, I'll trade it for a while in your bed
Hierve como el ruedo en tardes de corrida
It boils like the wheel in bullfight afternoons
Va como los besos en los telegramas
It goes like the kisses in the telegrams
Y tiene nombre de mujer
And it has a woman's name
Como la libertad, como la nieve
Like freedom, like snow
Los fugitivos del deber
fugitives from duty
Cogen su maldición y se la beben
They take the curse from her and drink it
