Cruz de navajas [English translation]

Bar 33 closes at 5 am,

but Mario doesn't come out until 6.

Even later when he has to close the register.

Daylight comes...

and Maria

is already awake.

She cleaned the house, prepared some coffee...

and waits for him, half naked.

Mario gets home tired, says hi,

not very excited.

He wants to go to bed, but with another purpose.

And Maria dips her desire

in the coffee cup.

Muffins of convex sex.

Time to go to work,

in the mall.

When she comes back

there's only a taciturn mattress

used by turns.

(Chorus)

Knives cross for a woman,

lethal blunts glow at dawn,

blood that stains the sunrise in red.

But today was a raid at Bar 33

and Mario leaves at 4.50 am.

In his empty street, far away,

he can only see a couple kissing passionately.

Poor Mario wants to die

as he gets closer to find out

that Maria has some company.

(Chorus)

Knives cross for a woman,

lethal blunts glow at dawn,

blood that stains the sunrise in red.

Three sudden crosses on Mario.

One on his forehead, the most painful one.

Another one on his chest, the one that killed him.

And the third one lies on the news:

"Two drug addicts in withdrawal symptoms

attack and kill Mario Postigo

while his wife witnesses the scene

in the entrance hall of their home".

Instead of: "Knives cross for a woman,

lethal blunts glow at dawn,

blood that stains the sunrise in red."
