De su boca carmesí

Que el invierno desató

Un verso sin terminar

En aquel cuarto de hotel

No paraba de girar
did not stop spinning
La tristeza en portugués

Diez días de carnaval

Cruzando Avenida Italia

Haciendo dedo hasta el Chuy

Mostrando el sello en la aduana
Showing the stamp at customs
Diecinueve sin cumplir
nineteen unturned
Y ella que le preguntaba
And she was asking
Dónde quedaba Uruguay
Where was Uruguay
Ella bailaba y bailaba
she danced and danced
Y se reía al hablar
And she laughed when she spoke
Su acento lo desarmaba

En la ventana sonando

Entrando en la madrugada
Entering into the early morning
Él la miraba dormir

Y apenas acreditaba
And he barely credited
Juntaba plata en invierno

Soñaba con el Edén

Escuchaba a Joao Gilberto

Y sólo pensaba en volver

Garroneaba todo el año

Para el Itapemirim

Y velaba en el armario
And she watched in the closet
