In a small little club,
Seated at the bar,
She took her ring off her finger.
Without knowing that I heard her,
In a soft voice she said:
I honestly don't know what I want anymore!
I ordered a couple of drinks,
Brought an ashtray over,
And we both drank at almost the same time,
The first in silence,
The second took effect,
And she told me crying:
I can't!
I can't stand it
And decided to leave him,
And right now I'm scared to death.
You don't know the man from the north!
You don't know the man in my town!
I saw him in the mirror,
He looked so old.
His eyes came from far away.
He was a very strong man,
About 6 feet tall,
At that moment I saw myself more than dead.
He sat down beside us,
And his quavering voice said:
Tell me why you do this to me!
I've given you my life since you were very young,
And this blow has hit me full force!
Live your life, shatter mine,
I am not going to cry for all that.
Take flight, I'll stay on the ground,
I'm not going to kill you, although I can.
You don't know the man from the north!
You don't know the man in my town!
He left and his words
Weighed in the air,
Then I paid the waiter.
She came with me to my apartment
And then we began to kiss.
And after we embraced
We couldn't make love,
In the air the words of that man
Sounded again.
They remained like an echo
When he said:
Why do you do this to me?
Live your life, shatter mine,
I'm not going to kill you for this.
Take flight, I'll stay on the ground,
I'm not going to kill you, although I want to.
You don't know the man from the north!
You don't know the man in my town!
You don't know the man from the north!
You don't know the man in my town!
