Peor Para El Sol Lyrics in English Joaquin Sabina

Home / Lyrics Translation / Joaquin Sabina / Peor Para El Sol

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Peor Para El Sol by Joaquin Sabina from Spanish to English.

What do you gain by knowing my name?

Every night I have a different one

And, following the voice of instinct

I head out to look

I imagine, gorgeous, that a man

Something more, a discreet lover

That dares to disrespect me

Don't you wanna try?

I live just behind the corner

I don't remember if I have a husband

If you take my dress off with flair

I'll treat you to champagne

I slipped the barman a thousand in tips

I downed the beer in one gulp

Whoever called this bar the temple of lust nailed it

Worse for the sun

That crawls into its cradle

In the sea to snore

While yours truly

Lifts the moon's skirt

When we reached the doorway we searched for each other

Like two students in heat

One floor before seventh heaven

The elevator opened

It served us for the last gram

The glass on her wedding photo

Not even the fashion show was missing

Of underwear

In my place nothing's forbidden

But don't you fall in love

At dawn you'll have to leave

And not come back

Forgetting that you met me

That you once were in my bed

There are whims of love that a lady

Must not have

Worse for the sun

That crawls into its cradle

In the sea to snore

While yours truly

Lifts the moon's skirt

It's better, I told her, that you keep quiet

I don't like to invest in pipe dreams

Your hips brought me this far

Not your heart

And after that, what more details?

You already know: drinks, laughs, excesses

How are so many kisses gonna fit

In one song?

I went back to the bar the next night

To toast with her empty chair

I ordered myself an ice-cold beer

And then I don't know

If I dreamed or if it was her fiery

Voice that kept whispering in my ear

I was dying for it, darling

To see you again

Worse for the sun

That crawls into its cradle

In the sea to snore

While yours truly

Lifts the moon's skirt

Worse for the sun

SONG MEANING

“Peor Para El Sol” is a cheeky, bohemian postcard from the nightlife of Madrid. Sabina paints the scene of two restless souls who would rather chase moonlight than settle for daytime routines. The narrator meets a daring woman who collects new names every night, craves danger, and invites champagne-soaked mischief. Together they dive into an apartment-building elevator, shatter her wedding photo for an improvised mirror, and exhaust every drop of desire before dawn. The sun, the song insists, is the real loser here; it goes to sleep while these lovers lift the moon’s skirt and refuse to feel guilty about it.

Beneath the playful rhymes and bar-room banter lies a bittersweet warning. The woman reminds her partner not to fall in love, because this is a one-night carnival, not a fairy tale. Sabina explores the thrill and emptiness of instant passion—a celebration of freedom that also hints at loneliness when the barstool is empty the next night. It is a toast to living fast, laughing loud, and accepting the price of never belonging to the daylight.
