El deseo sigue un curso paralelo
Desire follows a parallel course
Y la historia es una red y no una vía
And history is a network and not a path
Días y noches de amor y de celos
Days and nights of love and jealousy
Una cama se llena y otra se vacía
One bed is full and another is empty
Yo lo vi, hasta en los hospitales
I saw it, even in the hospitals
Escapándose al motel los cirujanos
The surgeons escaping to the motel
¡Tan complicados los simples mortales
Simple mortals are so complicated!
Y tan fácil saber que se traen entre manos!
And it's so easy to know what they're up to!
Y bajo los congresos, las giras, rodajes
And under the congresses, the tours, filming
Las ferias agrícolas y convenciones
Agricultural fairs and conventions
Gira inexorable el otro engranaje
The other gear turns inexorably
La noria invisible de las transgresiones
The invisible ferris wheel of transgressions
La vida también es aquellos mensajes
Life is also those messages
La llamada hecha desde la esquina
The call made from the corner
Poco de negocio tenían los viajes
Travel had little business
Todo de su amor, aquella oficina
All of his love, that office
El cantante ávido de nuevas pieles
The singer eager for new skins
Aquel literato lució su guiñada
That writer showed off his wink
Por los pasillos de tantos hoteles
Through the hallways of so many hotels
El tráfico arrecia en las madrugadas
Traffic increases in the early morning
Clara, evidente, manda la libido
Clear, evident, libido rules
La fidelidad, brumosa palabra
Fidelity, misty word
Con su incierta lista de gestos prohibidos
With its uncertain list of prohibited gestures
Muerde siempre menos de lo que ladra
Always bite less than you bark
Muerde siempre menos de lo que ladra
Always bite less than you bark
El deseo sigue un curso paralelo
Desire follows a parallel course
Y la historia es una red y no una vía
And history is a network and not a path
Días y noches de amor y de celos
Days and nights of love and jealousy
Una cama se llena y otra se vacía
One bed is full and another is empty
Y bajo los congresos, las giras, rodajes
And under the congresses, the tours, filming
Las ferias agrícolas y convenciones
Agricultural fairs and conventions
Gira inexorable el otro engranaje
The other gear turns inexorably
La noria invisible de las transgresiones
The invisible ferris wheel of transgressions
La noria invisible de las transgresiones
The invisible ferris wheel of transgressions
