De vez en mes [English translation]

Once a month you pretend to be an artist

Leaving an impressionistic painting

Under the blanket (edredon: quilt stuffed with the down of the eider duck)

Once a month with your aquarelle

You paint “girones de ciruela” (ciruela means plum; girones anyone ???)

Which will even reach the mattress

But it’s natural when you’re a lady

For you to paint roses in the bed

One time once a month

Once a month

A stork commits suicide

And there you are, so depressed

Looking for an explanation

Once a month

The heavens rob your miracle

Time made you a calendar

All at once, once a month

Once a month

You put forward a hunger strike,

And I some imagination

Once a month the new moon

Comes to get what he renews

And to place a new illusion

Once a month I’m invisible,

To try if it’s possible

Not to provoke your bad temper

Once a month there’s no one who can stand you

Going away is a sin

And if I stay it’s even a greater one

And even if there’s a compulsory break,

And the heavens make a purgatory for you

I love you more, once a month

Once a month

Your belly practices to be a cradle

Your temper depends on the moon

And I want you a little more

Once a month

It make you want to take a siesta

But your hormones want to party

And I’m always the one to blame

Once a month

There’s no clock other than your body,

There’s no light other than your shining

Once a month

Once a month
