Yo no te pido - Mario Benedetti

Yo no te pido que me bajes
una estrella azul
sólo te pido que mi espacio
llenes con tu luz.

Yo no te pido que me firmes
diez papeles grises para amar
sólo te pido que tú quieras
las palomas que suelo mirar.

De lo pasado no lo voy a negar
el futuro algún día llegará
y del presente
qué le importa a la gente
si es que siempre van a hablar.

Sigue llenando este minuto
de razones para respirar
no me complazcas no te niegues
no hables por hablar.

Yo no te pido que me bajes
una estrella azul
sólo te pido que mi espacio
llenes con tu luz.

I'm dancing for dollars, and for a fancy man

Neverland



Eyes are sober, this is the plan
I'm sitting in a car heading Neverland
A fancy man, a fancy man
He's pointing with the fingers that are left on his hand

Eyes are hazel, but far too cold
Looking out for love
But none of us can
Where's the monkey that I've been told of
I'm staring at the money that burns in my hand
I'm dancing for dollars
And for a fancy man

Come right over, I'll knock on your shoulder
This is a story and this is what I've planned
An angry man, an angry man
Nothing is more fatal than an angry man

Vulnerable heights
Feed the hand that bites me
Following the steam into another room
Standing in the corner
Is this my home
Showing us love that none of us can
I'm singing for money
That burns in my hand

Tell me
Will I make it home tonight

I'm doing it for dollars and for a fancy man
I've got a lot of money that burns in my hand

"Folding Chair"

Come and open up your folding chair next to me
my feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze
there’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes
and the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

Let’s get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy
I’ll safety-pin his clothes all cool and you’ll grafitti up his toys
I’ve got a perfect body, though sometimes I forget
I’ve got a perfect body cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
Yes, they do, they do…

Now I’ve been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
But every time the tide come in to take me home
I get scared, and I’m sitting here alone
Dreaming of the dolphin song…

Maybe one day you will understand
I don’t want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
Till that day just please don’t be so down
Don’t make frowns, you silly clown

Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze
There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes
And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies
There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes…

I love how you love me

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But darlin' most of all I love how you love me

I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darlin' most of all I love how you love me

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darlin' most of all I love how you love me
I love how you hug me
I love how you squeeze me, tease me, please me
Love how you love me
I love how you love me
Love how you love me
Love how you love me
Love how you love me
Love how you love me
I love how you love me
Love how you love me
Love how you love me
I love how you love me
