LA MAGDALENA

Llevas dos semanas
Encerrada en casa
Sin salir de la cama
Ya no tienes ni lágrimas
No paras de llorar
No comes, ni hablas
Ni te vistes, ni te lavas
Todo es una lástima

Lo que sobran son hombres
Como ése y mejores

Ése era un gandul
Que problema vas a tener tú
Déjate de decir
Que no quieres vivir
Que le quieres a él
Pero él no te quiere a tí

*Y hazme caso que no -

No no no no no vale la pena
Llorar como una magda magdalena
Por culpa de ese hombre culpable
Seguro que no va a valer la pena
Todos son iguales
Prometen haz de ramos, los rosales
Ellos nunca salen
Pero siempre tienen penas quincenales
No hay ni uno sólo
Ni uno sólo sólo que no falle
Si no es por una cosa es por otra
Pero siempre falla algún detalle
Si no es por una cosa es por otra
Pero siempre falla algún detalle *

Tienes que olvidarte
Distraerte, salír, cuidarte
Tu bendito mal lo cura el tiempo
Y ahora mismo tu estás ciega
Cada noche te envenenas
Yo sé bien lo que se siente
Y no te miento
Lo curioso de estas cosas
Esque luego te das cuenta
De que que es cierto
Lo que cuentan
Que una mancha limpia a otra
Que otros peces y mejores
En el mar....
Siempre se encuentran..

*Y hazme caso que no... * (2x)

THE MAGDALENA

You spend two weeks
Blocked in your apartment
Staying in bed
Even the tears are gone
You can't stop crying
You don't eat, you don't talk
You don't dress yourself, you don't wash up
Everything is miserable

And the men in addition
Like this one and the better ones
This one was a slacker
What troubles he caused to you
Stop saying
That you can't live
That you love him
But he doesn't love you

*And listen to me because it's not
not-not-not-not-not worth it
To cry like a Magda-Magdalena
For this guilty man
I'm sure there is no use to it
They are all the same
They promise, bring flowers, roses
They'll never leave
Their worries last always couple of weeks
There is no-one
No-one who wouldn't cheat
If it's not because of one thing then it's because of another
But always something goes wrong
If it's not because of one thing then it's because of another
But always something goes wrong *

You have to forget

Distract, leave, take care of yourself

Your blessing of evil will be fixed over time

And right now you are blind

Every night you poison yourself

I know very well how you feel

And I do not lie to you

The most odd thing in these cases is

That in the course of time you'll notice

What is certain

What matters

Is that stain will be cleaned by new one

That there are other fish and

Better ones you'll always find

In the sea...

*And listen to me... *
