Te sabías el popurrí del kamasutra
You Knew the popurri of the Kamasutra
Y burlábamos la ley de gravedad
And we mocked the law of gravity
Intentábamos de todo sin preguntas
We try everything without questions
Y mentíamos con toda honestidad
And we lie with all honestly
No había reloj ni presupuesto
there was no clock nor a budget
La piel lo que traíamos puesto
the skin was have on
Y nos bastaba
and it was enough
Besos y croissant por desayuno
kisses and croissants in the breakfast
Sudor, gimnasia y piel para cenar
sweat, gym and skin for dinner
Homosapiens en pleno siglo 21

Trogloditas del amor al natural

Se nos cedió un fideicomiso
we were given an escrow
Por unos días el paraíso
for some days the Paradise
Para los dos
for the two of us
Cavernicolas
cavemen
Eso fuimos

Sin patria, sin futuro, sin hogar
without homeland, without future, without home
Eramos dos y nos bastaba
we were just two and that was enough
Bien sabe Dios que nos gustaba vivir así

Cavernicolas
cavemen
Eso fuimos

Jugando diariamente a improvisar
playing daily to improvise
No tenía nombre ni apellido

Quién sabe si era permitido vivir así

Yo te decía belleza, yo era el flaco
I called you beauty, I was the skinny
Jamás memorizamos apellidos

Sutil veneno tan afrodisíaco
Subtle poison so aphrodisiac
No depender de ningún sustantivo

Jamás hablamos del futuro

Solo el presente era seguro

El resto humo

Un día entró como carasca, la realidad y la costumbre

Y se acabó la inmunidad
and the immunity was over
La cueva se convirtió en casa

El azar en mansedumbre se suicidó la libertad
