you only live once

4/2/11

Something in the way she moves
attracts me like no other lover,
something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
you know I believe and how.

Somewhere in her smile she knows
that I don't need no other lover,
something in her style that shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
you know I believe and how.

You're asking me will my love grow..
I don't know, I don't know.
You stick around and it may show,
I don't know, I don't know.

Something in the way she knows,
and all I have to do is think of her,
something in the things she shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
you know I believe and how.

Después de tanto tiempo al fin te has ido
y, en vez de lamentarme, he decidido
tomármelo con calma.
De par en par he abierto los balcones,
he sacudido el polvo a todos los rincones
de mi alma.

Me he dicho que la vida no es un valle
de lágrimas, y he salido a la calle
como un explorador.
He vuelto a tropezar con el pasado,
y he decidido, en el bar de mis pecados,
otra copa de ron.

Y en otros ojos me olvidé de tu mirada,
y en otros labios despisté a la madrugada,
y en otro pelo
me curé del desconsuelo
que empapaba mi almohada...

- Como un explorador -
