Ricardo Arjona - Cavernícolas
Album: Viaje

Lyrics & Music: Edgar Ricardo Arjona Morales

CavernícolasCavemen
Te sabías el popurri del Kama sutra
Y burlábamos la ley de gravedad.
Intentábamos de todo sin preguntas
Y mentíamos con toda honestidad

No había reloj ni presupuesto.
La piel lo que traíamos puesto
Y nos bastaba

Besos y croissant por desayuno
Sudor gimnasia y piel para cenar.
Homo sapiens en pleno siglo veintiuno
Trogloditas del amor al natural

Se nos perdió un fideicomiso
Por unos días en el paraíso
Para los dos

Coro:
Cavernícolas, eso fuimos
Sin patria, sin futuro, sin hogar.
Eramos dos y nos bastaba.
Quién sabe Dios que nos gustaba vivir así

Cavernícolas, eso fuimos
Jugando diariamente a improvisar.
No tenia nombre ni apellido
Quién sabe si era permitido vivir así


Yo te decía «belleza», yo era el flaco.
Jamás memorizamos apellidos.
Sutil veneno, tan afrodisíaco
No depender de ningún sustantivo

Jamás hablamos del futuro
Sólo el presento era seguro
El resto humo

Coro

Un día entró como carrasca
La realidad y la costumbre
Y se acabó la inmunidad

La prueba se convirtió en casa
El azar en mansedumbre.
Se suicidó la libertad

Coro

Yo te decía «belleza», yo era el flaco
Y mentíamos con toda honestidad
You knew the pot-pourri of the Kama Sutra
And we overcame the law of gravity.
We tried everything without question
And were lying with all honesty

There was neither clock nor budget.
The skin that we were wearing
And was enough for us

Kisses and croissant for breakfast
Sweat of physical exercise and skin for dinner.
Homo sapiens in mid twenty-first century
Troglodites of love au naturel

We lost a trust fund
For a few days in paradise
For the two of us

Chorus:
Cavemen, that's what we were
With no country, with no future, with no home.
We were two and it was enough for us.
God alone knows that it pleased us to live that way

Cavemen, that's what we were
Playing daily at improvising.
I had no name or surname.
Who knows if it was permissible to live that way


I used to say “Beauty” to you, I was the skinny one.
We never memorised surnames.
Subtle poison, so aphrodisiacal
Not dependent on any noun

We never talked about the future
Only the present was safe
The rest was mist

Chorus

One day reality and habit
Entered like something awful
And the immunity was over

The audition turned into a house
Taking chances into meekness.
Freedom committed suicide

Chorus

I used to say “Beauty” to you, I was the skinny one
And we were lying with all honesty
