Life flips a coin, heads or tails. Perhaps her parents planned a future with Prince Charming for her, but life brought them together, and they spent a thousand years overcoming the taboo. The author fantasizes about the past lives they lived, but in this one, they are together.
VOICE 1: Alien in a corner these years while I was shooting a blues, life was throwing me a lucky coin, heads or tails, and it placed my guitar on the paths of wonder for the light. DUO: Perhaps in that instant you were taking your dolls out of a trunk, your parents were molding a tomorrow for you, bride to a prince charming, purer than a cloud and happier than carrying a coffin. And life put us on this train, and it placed us face to face in this carriage, and it put us in bed so that I would sing to you "amañe, amame," and it put us to fry in the pan, and it put us to pull this cart and it placed in our souls a love that saves us every time, every time. VOICE 1: We spent a thousand years crossing the taboo, perhaps we reincarnated an ordinary soul, perhaps in the Stone Age my gem was you. DUO: Maybe we've stepped out of time and today you're too far from slavery to bury your head in the sand like an ostrich. VOICE 1: Maybe in another century I was a scoundrel who raped your youth, maybe in the future a rich old man and you the guru's girlfriend, DUO: Or I would have been a Beatle and you a fan who screamed at me in Liverpool. DUO: And life put us on this train, and put us face to face in this carriage, and put us in bed so I could sing to you "amañe, amame", and put us to fry in the pan, and put us to pull this cart and put in our souls a love that saves us every time, every time. Love me, love me, love me, love me.
VOZ 1: Ajena en una esquina estos años mientras fusilaba un blues
la vida me lanzaba una moneda de la suerte cara o cruz,
y puso a mi guitarra en los caminos del asombro por la luz.
DÚO: Quizás en ese instante tú sacabas tus muñecas de un baúl,
tus padres te moldeaban un mañana, novia de un príncipe azul,
más puro que una nube y más alegre que llevar un ataúd.
Y la vida nos puso en este tren, y nos puso de frente en este vagón,
y nos puso en la cama para que te cantara amañe, ámame,
y nos puso a freírnos al sartén, y nos puso a tirar de este carretón
y nos puso en el alma un amor que nos salva cada vez, cada vez.
VOZ 1: Pasamos mil años cruzando el tabú,
quizás reencarnamos a un alma común,
tal vez en la era de piedra mi gema eras tú.
DÚO: Tal vez nos salimos del tiempo y hoy tú
demasiado lejos de la esclavitud
para sumergir la cabeza como un avestruz.
VOZ 1: Tal vez en otro siglo fui un bribón que se violó tu juventud,
quizás en el futuro un viejo rico y tú la novia del gurú,
DÚO: O hubiera sido un beatle y tú una fan que me gritaba en Liverpool.
DÚO: Y la vida nos puso en este tren, y nos puso de frente en este vagón,
y nos puso en la cama para que te cantara amañe, ámame,
y nos puso a freírnos al sartén, y nos puso a tirar de este carretón
y nos puso en el alma un amor que nos salva cada vez, cada vez.
Ámame, ámame,
ámame, ámame.
