Fuimos cerrando una a uno cuatro bares

Montevideo ya hacía rato amanecía

vos me augurabas oropeles y ultramares

y al regresar del baño quien no te creería
And when you return from the bathroom, who wouldn't believe you?
Desorientado y confundiendo vocaciones

yo estaba preso en mi alegría diletante
I was imprisoned in my dilettante joy
me fui a Madrid con mi guitarra y mis canciones
I went to Madrid with my guitar and my songs
haciendo caso a tu consejo delirante
heeding your delusional advice
Y hoy que pasaron 22 diciembres ya

de aquella noche loca que selló mi suerte

esta canción más vale tarde que jamás
this song is better late than never
la escribo para agradecerte

y aunque sé bien que con tu empaque de alatriste

te da pudor la confesión de borrachera

creo que sabes que el regalo que me hiciste

me cambió la vida entera

Te quiero mucho más de lo que te lo cuento

y como yo una jauría de sedientos

Te debo la milonga del moro judío

y otra turné por el Madrid de los excesos

donde aprendí a domar más de cien desvaríos
where I learned to tame more than a hundred ravings
y a robar más de mil besos
and to steal more than a thousand kisses
Tendo el detalle de camuflar tu apellido

y quien lo quiera adivinar que lo adivine

para nombrar a quien estoy agradecido
to name whom I am grateful
pongamos que hablo de Martínez
Let's say I'm talking about Martinez
Y aunque sé bien que con tu empaque de alatriste

me cambió la vida entera
