Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

He comes for conversationÉl viene para conversar

I comfort him sometimesA veces lo consuelo

Comfort and consultationComodidad y consulta

He knows that's what he'll findÉl sabe que eso es lo que encontrará

I bring him apples and cheesesLe traigo manzanas y quesos

He brings me songs to playÉl me trae canciones para tocar

He sees me when he pleasesÉl me ve cuando le place

I see him in cafesLo veo en los cafés

And I only say: HelloY yo solo digo: Hola

And turn away before his lady knowsY se aleja antes de que su dama lo sepa

How much I want to see himCuanto quiero verlo

She removes him like a ring, to wash her handsElla se lo quita como si fuera un anillo, para lavarse las manos

She only brings him out to show her friendsElla sólo lo saca para mostrárselo a sus amigos

I want to free himQuiero liberarlo

Secrets and sharing sodaSecretos y compartir refrescos

That's how our time beganAsí empezó nuestro tiempo

Love is a story told to a friendEl amor es una historia contada a un amigo

It's second handEs de segunda mano

But I'll listen to his questionsPero escucharé sus preguntas

I'll give my answers when they're foundDaré mis respuestas cuando las encuentre

He says she keeps him guessingÉl dice que ella lo mantiene adivinando

But I know she keeps him downPero sé que ella lo mantiene abajo

She speaks in sorry sentencesElla habla con frases tristes

Miraculous repentancesArrepentimientos milagrosos

I don't believe herNo le creo

Tomorrow he will come to meMañana vendrá a mi casa

And he'll speak his sorrow endlessly and he'll ask me: Why?Y hablará de su dolor sin parar y me preguntará: ¿Por qué?

Why can't I leave her?¿Porque no puedo dejarla?

He comes for conversationÉl viene para conversar

I comfort him sometimesA veces lo consuelo

Comfort and consultationComodidad y consulta

He knows that's what he'll findÉl sabe que eso es lo que encontrará

He knows that's what he'll findÉl sabe que eso es lo que encontrará
