Has visto un ciclo en televisión de cine en tiempos de franco
You have seen a film cycle on television in free time
Yo soy aquel chaval que creció en la fila de los mancos
I am that boy who grew up in the row of the one-armed
Si un dedo acariciaba una pierna, un cuello, un sujetador
If a finger caressed a leg, a neck, a bra
Bramaba la temible linterna del acomodador
bellowed the fearsome lantern of the usher
Ella tenía catorce abriles en canal
she was fourteen years old in canal
Sobre la rodilla rebeca para disimular
Over the knee cardigan to hide
Aquel sabor a chocolatina, a piel, saliva y sudor
That taste of chocolate, skin, saliva and sweat
La carne de gallina me pone en el corazón
Goosebumps put me in the heart
En pantalla Dalila cortaba el pelo al cero a sansón
On screen Delilah cut Samson's hair to zero
Y en la última fila del cine, con calcetines aprendimos tú y yo
And in the last row of the cinema, with socks we learned you and I
Juegos de manos, a la sombra de un cine de verano
Games of hands, in the shadow of a summer cinema
Juegos de manos, siempre daban una de romanos
Sleight of hand, they always gave one of Romans
Era condición esencial organizar bien el modo
It was an essential condition to organize the mode well.
De entrar en la semi oscuridad blanca y negra del no-do
To enter the black and white semi-darkness of the no-do
Y mientras en el circo un león se merendaba a un cristiano
And while in the circus a lion was snacking on a Christian
La nena se dejaba besar que no la pille su hermano
The girl let herself be kissed so that her brother didn't catch her
Si estrenaban Cleopatra y pedían el carnet
If they premiered Cleopatra and asked for the card
Yo iba con corbata y pomada que cura el acné
I was wearing a tie and ointment that cures acne
Hasta que aquella bici de mi niñez se fue quedando sin frenos
Until that bike from my childhood ran out of brakes
Y en la peli que pusieron después nunca ganaban los buenos
And in the movie they put on afterwards, the good guys never won
Y mientras en pantalla prendía fuego a roma nerón
And while on screen she set fire to Rome Nero
Contra la última valla del cine y en calcetines aprendimos tú y yo
Against the last fence of the cinema and in socks we learned, you and I
Hoy que todos andan con videos porno americanos
Today that everyone is with American porn videos
Para ver contigo me alquilo una de romanos
To see with you I rent one of Romans
