You-Tù [Waltz for Joaquin and Noa]

you, you are the darkest of nights

where i will wander

from alley to alley to alley

in search of a bottle of light

you, you are a woman who chose

running half naked

from alley to alley to alley

in search of a knife and a rose

so, where does our story go?

is there an apple to bite, shiny and red

and if i do, will i fall

dead at your feet?

so, where does the music flow?

is it the river of jordan, holy and cold,

will you jump in?

are you as bold as you seem

tú, resaca del corazón

contestador que repite

repite y repite

llorando su absurda canción.

tú, banquete del colibrí

peonza que va dando vueltas

y vueltas y vueltas

por un olivar sefardí

yo, huérfano y desertor

tataranieto de abraham crepuscular

bufón del mes

vecino de lavapiés

no, fui tu príncipe azul

y envejecí en un desván

peter sin pan, robin sin hood

silbando un canto viudo

you, you make me feel like a fool

lets run together

from alley to alley to alley

like children escaping the rule

tú, la favorita de un rey

con su maleta que rueda

que rueda, que rueda

por un aeroporto sin ley

yo, mendigo de estación

bastardo del rey david

yerno del cid, macho sin fe

don juan rendido a tus pies

so, gently you raise your bow

i see your eyes full of fire

robin, no hood

bad turns to good

good's an unfaithful lover
