Sus pechos como punta de una roca
Her breasts like the tip of a rock
Se paseaban en el bar sirviendo tragos
Strolling in the bar serving drinks
Vestida como quien no quiere ropa
Dressed like someone who doesn't want clothes
Y mas trucos en la piel que cualquier mago.
And more tricks on her skin than any magician.
Tenia varios nombres pa' olvidarse
She had several names to forget
Del nombre que le dieron en la casa
The name they gave her at home
Tenia un pasado ideal pa' no acordarse
She had an ideal past to not remember
Y fama de cumplir cuando amenaza.
And a reputation for keeping her promises when threatened.
Los martes se llamaba margarita
On Tuesdays, she was called Margarita
Los viernes por las noches ya era Lola
On Friday nights, she was already Lola.
Yo siempre le decía señorita
I always called her Miss
Usted no tiene porque estar tan sola.
You don't have to be so alone.
Recuerdo el jueves de aquel primer beso
I remember the Thursday of that first kiss
Su nombre aquella noche era Julieta
Her name that night was Juliet
Instinto siempre pudo más que seso
Instinct always prevailed over reason
Asuntos que no entienden los poetas.
Matters that poets don't understand.
Jamás hubo una cama en nuestra historia,
There was never a bed in our story,
En baños y despensas trapecistas,
In bathrooms and pantries, trapeze artists,
Tatuada está su espalda en mi memoria,
Her back is tattooed in my memory,
dos locos en un bar a lo hedonistas.
Two crazy ones in a bar, hedonists.
Los martes se llamaba margarita
Tuesdays she was called Margarita
Los viernes por las noches ya era Lola
Fridays at night she was already Lola
Yo siempre le decía señorita,
I always called her miss,
Usted no tiene porque estar tan sola.
You don't have to be so alone.
Un lunes con el nombre de María
One Monday with the name of María
Me dijo hasta mañana y no volvió
She said see you tomorrow and never returned
El bar se llama hoy melancolía.
The bar is called today Melancholy.
Y los martes se llamaba margarita
And on Tuesdays she was called Margarita
Los viernes por las noches ya era Lola
Fridays at night she was already Lola
Yo siempre le decía señorita,
I always called her miss,
Usted no tiene porque estar tan sola.
You don’t have to be so alone.
