El Chico del Apartamento 512 [English translation]

Every day is the same down the corridor

I never reach my door without having listened to the whistling

from a guy who says he is waiting for me

what he should do is go away and take a shower

and then a bore stops me once again

and I pretend I'm interested

when all of a sudden from the lift comes out

the man of my dreams

the one I want to belong to

The guy from apartment 512

the one who makes my poor heart beat fast

to whom I write letters day and night

which I can't deliver

The guy from apartment 512

who causes me to stutter and worse

He is the one I think and dream about all day

Him, only him

An old man tells me "come to see me"

and I say to him "I don't like old lechers"

and I walk to my room slowly

hoping I might see him

and when he goes out for a walk

he greets me with a smile

that wins me over

But today I have finally truly decided

to confess my love to him

I knock on his door and I get goose bumps

a blonde answers the door

and my heart breaks

I truly felt my heart breaking into pieces

when suddenly she asked:

"Were you looking for my brother?"
