| Historia Del Portero | The Caretaker's Story |
| Yo era el portero del edificio treinta y dos Tú eras la burguesa, la princesa del penthouse. Así lo quiso Dios Te saludaba con mi cara de asustado Mientras le pedía a Dios que se tapara el excusado Para irte a echar un vistazo O que te mandara al supermercado Para ayudarte a cargar lo del mandado Fui testigo mudo de tus fiestas y aventuras. Te conocí dos doctores, un maestro y hasta un cura Y un día, viendo en la rendija Vi como te merendabas al del seis Mientras su mujer mojaba el negligé Coro: Estás acabando con el edificio Chica del penthouse Y con toda la ciudad Estás acabando con el edificio Chica del penthouse ¿Y conmigo, por qué no? × 2 Era de todos los días esperar que den las nueve Ir al patio de atrás a esperar en la ventana Tu baño de las mañanas Qué triste era ver aquella sombra al desnudarte A doce pisos de mis mejores ganas de tocarte. ¿Pero qué le iba yo a hacer? Le daba chance a la imaginación Mientras ya me retumbaba el corazón Coro Me he enamorado de usted. Dígame ahora qué hay que hacer. Fumo como un loco y he dejado de comer. Le dije a quemarropa Me dio una cachetada que me dislocó el amor. Eso me pasa por querer darle a la vida el sabor De una mezcla de clases Y aunque sé que jamás podré besarla No hay problema porque así lo quiso Dios Coro |
I was the caretaker of building thirty-two You were the bourgeois, the princess in the penthouse. That's how God wanted it I used to greet you with my frightened face While I was asking God to clog the toilet In order to visit you to take a look Or that he may send you to the supermarket In order to help you carry what was ordered I was silent witness to your parties and affairs. I introduced you to two doctors, a teacher and even a cure And one day, looking through the crack I saw as you were bonking the one from number six While his wife was soaking her negligé Chorus: You are getting off with the [whole] building Girl in the penthouse And the whole town You are getting off with the whole building Girl in the penthouse And why not with me? × 2 I used to wait every day for nine o'clock To go to the back yard to wait for Your morning bath in the window How sad I was seeing that shadow as you undressed Twelve floors from my strong desires to touch you. But what was I going to do to you? I gave my imagination a chance While my heart was pounding Chorus I have fallen in love with you. Now tell me what is to be done. I smoke like crazy and I have stopped eating. I told you straight I gave myself a slap that dislodged my love. That's what happens to me for wanting to spice up life With a mix of classes And although I know that I will never be able to kiss her It is not a problem because that's how God wanted it Chorus |
