I pick you up after work,
Madrid is missing cuddles and hugs.
We will see to that.
"How did it go? Did you miss me?
You know, yesterday you were in my dreams,
you had fewer clothes on.
"Today I've found and ad in Segunda Mano1
a humble, conveniently located, inexpensive flat,
paradise just a few minutes away
from the rest of the world, if we take the Metro2."
I dream about it as my warmth awaits you.
Restless, inexperienced, I burn dinner.
You're late.
"Where were you? I thought you were lost."
You kiss me and put up with my sweet lies.
You bring peace, at last.
One of these days I'll surprise you by asking you,
seriouly and formally, to marry me.
My love, one of these days I'll be me who surprises you,
and if you ask me, I'll say "I will."
Little creature, the purest of essences
are contained in small flasks.
My love, I know, the same recipient also
encloses poison.
I take a chance, I look at you and plan
a life full of dreams with you.
And if they don't come true upon awakening,
in the light of day we'll see what we do.
Little creature, the purest of essences
are contained in small frasks.
My love, I know, the same recipient also
encloses poison.
I take a chance, I look at you and plan.
If you need a pillow, I offer you my chest.
And if you're not comfortable with its nooks and crannies,
in the light of day we'll see what we do.
