Joaquin Sabina – Donde Habita El Olvido Lyrics 15 years ago
When she woke up
She didn't remember anything
of the night before,
"too many beers"
-she said- when she saw my head
next to hers, on the pillow
and I kissed her again.
But it wasn't yesterday anymore,
but tomorrow.
And an indecent Sun,
like a thief came in
through the window.

The day that she arrived
she had red rings under her eyes
and mud on her heels.
Nude, but strangers,
we were seen by the deceit
of the night, plain day light
it was time to leave
and she left without saying:
"call me sometime".
From the balcony I saw
her get lost, in the movement
of the big city.

Chorus:
And life went on,
like things that don't make much sense
go on,
once a common friend
told me that he saw her
where oblivion is.

The pupil recognized
a red traffic light,
a back pack, a Peugeot
and those
nearsighted eyes
and the galloping blood
through my veins
and a cloud of sand
inside the heart
and this roll of love
with no appetite.
The kisses I didn't get
for not knowing how to say
"I need you"

Chorus

Joaquin Sabina – Amor Se Llama El Juego Lyrics 15 years ago
It's been too many months
since my goofiness invites
you to laugh.
It's not that I'm not interested
but the time for kisses and sweat
is the time to go to sleep.
It hurts to see you going through
the little box of ashes that the pleasure
has left behind.
Poorly and late I'm living up
to the oath I made, when I swore
to write you a song.
A sad and envious God
punished us
for climbing together to the tree
and getting lost in the flower of passion,
for trying that flavor.

Chorus:
Water puts out fire
and flame [as in passion], the years
"Love" is the name of the game
in which two blind people
play by hurting each other.
And each time it gets worse
and each time they're more broken
And all the time more you
And all the time more me
And no sign of "us".

Not innocent nor guilty
hearts destroyed by the storm
canon meat.
It's not me, or you, or anybody
it's the miserable fingers that
wind my watch.
And there's no ammount of tears
that can take us back
into the car
where that night in the middle of the carnival
I began to undress you.

Chorus

Joaquin Sabina – Y Nos Dieron Las Diez Lyrics 15 years ago
Saddest story about him falling for a girl he met in a bar where he played. She flirts with him and they go back to a hotel. He leaves her town and when he comes back the following year, as soon as his concert's over, he goes back to the same bar looking for her. To find what? A branch of the Spanish-American Bank! He -in his own words- avenges her memory throwing stones at the windows. Story ends with the police arresting him while he yells "I know it wasn't a dream!"

As dramatic as it sounds here the song is really entertaining and yet another masterpiece of Joaquin Sabina's work!

"Tenían razón
mis amantes
en eso de que, antes,
el malo era yo,
con una excepción:
esta vez,
yo quería quererla querer
y ella no."

Meaning
"My lovers were right
saying that before,
the bad guy was me,
with a single exception:
this time I wanted to want to love her
but she didn't."

GENIUS!!!!!!!!

andas siempre, muñeca"
