La hormiguita [English translation]

I met her an evening

while she hunted boleros with her guitar.

She wore a pair of jeans,

and a small yellow rose blossom in her hair.

What are you goin to do?

she asked me while smiling.

"Whatever you want", I answered.

We went to the sea and dove with our dreams.

I blinked my eyes, and a dolphin

drew a curly wave in her chest.

Then I laughed, and the ice was broken;

we bited each other's fingers

like a viola at a cello solo.

You're like a little ant

that kisses me and bites me,

that runs through my back

and lays down in my beard

to study geography.

You're like a trapecist

going through my tongue;

and you flowery circus

takes over me and lets me go.

Out of measure,

out of measure,

you are.

And I wanted to cry,

but only with my right eye.

She talked about the moon and Chopin,

as I played the Prelude of a Kiss.

Then I laughed, and the ice was broken;

we bited each other's fingers

like a viola at a cello solo.

You're like a little ant

that kisses me and bites me,

that runs through my back

and lays down in my beard

to study geography.

You're like a trapecist

going through mi tongue;

and you flowery circus

takes over me and lets me go.

Out of measure,

out of measure,

you are.
