La Extraña Pareja - Ismael Serrano

Eran conocidos en las calles del barrio

Conocidos en todos los bares y tabernas

Él tan serio, tan alto, tan pálido y delgado

Ella morena y frágil, tan graciosa y pequeña

Él rondaba, más o menos, los cincuenta

Y ella debía tener no más de veinticuatro

Él daba clases, creo, en alguna academia

Y ella estudiaba, creo, un curso de italiano

Bebían y se amaban, o eso parecía

Discutían a veces, a veces sonreían

Se besaban y odiaban, pero nadie es perfecto

El amor es difícil y extraño en estos tiempos

La noche debilita los corazones

Noches de funeral, de vino y rosas

Brindemos por el amor y sus fracasos

Quizás podamos escoger nuestra derrota

El sol limpia las calles, la memoria

Feroces pasiones atenúa

Invéntate el final de cada historia

Que el amor es eterno mientras dura

Él entró una noche en el bar de costumbre

Iba vestido todo de riguroso luto

Venía borracho y solo, traía el gesto serio

Y en las manos una corona de difuntos

Ella le había dejado, nos explicó sereno

Y había decidido considerarla muerta

Y brindar por su olvido y su descanso eterno

Y celebrar su entierro de taberna en taberna

Así que allá nos fuimos, y para qué contaros:

Vasos vinos y risas, alguna vomitona

Abrazos de amistad, eterna aquella noche

Requiescat y brindemos por ella y su memoria

La noche debilita los corazones

Noches de funeral, de vino y rosas

Brindemos por el amor y sus fracasos

Quizás podamos escoger nuestra derrota

El sol limpia las calles, la memoria

Feroces pasiones atenúa

Invéntate el final de cada historia

Que el amor es eterno mientras dura

Al salir de El Almendro ya iba muy borracho

Se cayó en el asfalto y me incliné a su lado

Supe que estaba muriéndose de golpe

Dijo algo en mi oído, se deshizo en mis brazos

Se lo llevó la ambulancia con su corona y todo

Y yo me fui a cumplir con su encargo maldito

Llegué hasta el bar que él me había indicado

Y busqué a la muchacha entre el humo y el ruido

Por fin la vi, bailaba muy despacio

Refugiada en el cálido pecho de un muchacho

Le conté, me escuchó, se abrazó a su pareja

Yo no sé si lloró, no se veía apenas

La noche debilita los corazones

Noches de funeral, de vino y rosas

Brindemos por el amor y sus fracasos

Quizás podamos escoger nuestra derrota

El sol limpia las calles, la memoria

Feroces pasiones atenúa

Invéntate el final de cada historia

Que el amor es eterno mientras dura

They were known in the streets of the neighborhood

Known in all the bars and taverns

He so serious, so tall, so pale and thin

She brown and frail, so graceful and small

He was around, more or less, fifty

And she must have been no more than twenty-four

He taught, I think, at some academy

And she was studying, I think, an Italian course

They drank and loved each other, or so it seemed

Sometimes they argued, sometimes they smiled

They kissed and hated but nobody's perfect

Love is difficult and strange these days

The night weakens hearts

Funeral nights, wine and roses

Here's to love and its failures

Maybe we can choose our defeat

The sun cleanses the streets, the memory

Fierce passions attenuates

Make up the ending of each story

That love is eternal while it lasts

He walked into the usual bar one night

He was dressed all in rigorous mourning

He came drunk and alone, he had a serious gesture

And in his hands a crown of the deceased

She had left him, he calmly explained to us

And he had decided to consider her dead

And toast to his forgetfulness of her and his eternal rest

And celebrate his funeral from tavern to tavern

So there we went, and why tell you:

Glasses of wine and laughter, some vomiting

Hugs of friendship, eternal that night

Requiescat and let's toast to her and her memory

The night weakens hearts

Funeral nights, wine and roses

Here's to love and its failures

Maybe we can choose our defeat

The sun cleanses the streets, the memory

Fierce passions attenuates

Make up the ending of each story

That love is eternal while it lasts

When he left El Almendro he was already very drunk

He fell on the asphalt and I leaned in next to him

I knew that she was dying suddenly

She said something in my ear, she fell apart in my arms

She took him away in the ambulance with her crown on him and all

And I went to fulfill his errand for him damn

I arrived at the bar that he had indicated to me

And I looked for the girl between the smoke and the noise

I finally saw her, she danced very slowly

Sheltered in the warm chest of a boy

I told her, she listened to me, she hugged her partner

I don't know if she cried, she hardly looked

The night weakens hearts

Funeral nights, wine and roses

Here's to love and its failures

Maybe we can choose our defeat

The sun cleanses the streets, the memory

Fierce passions attenuates

Make up the ending of each story

That love is eternal while it lasts
