Se llamaba Osadía

Y desde el primer día
And from the first day
Tuvo la cobardía de avisar

Quien tiene siete vidas

Y dos ojos de gata callejera
And two eyes of a street cat
No se va con cualquiera

De su noche se espera

Un broche de promesas incumplidas
A snap of broken promises
Mejor no equivocarse
Better not be wrong
No me pidas jamás lo que no doy
Don't ever ask me for what I don't give
Ya sabes cómo soy y si quieres me voy
You know how I am and if you want I'll go
Dijo cuando acabo de desnudarse

Ya ves

Llegar a fin de mes

No era con ella asunto de dinero

Se trataba más bien de merecer

Un tren de pasajeros

El tsunami de un mar hecho mujer

Dispuesto en cada ola a renacer

Con fuegos malabares

Y luego se olvidaba de acudir

La mañana y la tarde

Qué vaivén entre alarde y agonía
What swing between boast and agony
Todo lo confundía

Su swing, porque sabía

Mirar como un crepúsculo que arde
Look like a burning twilight
Callada por respuesta

Cuando jugué al dolor de corazón

Su boca era un buzón de voz sin

Dormido hasta la hora de la siesta

Del sol cuando se cansa de asombrar

Del mostrador a la hora de cerrar
From the counter at closing time
Se llamaba ironía

Y no puedo jurar
