Eva tomando el sol [English translation]

It all started when the serpent

brought me an apple and said: do taste it!

My name was Adam,

surely your name was Eva.

We lived as squatters in a deserted

flat in Moratalaz;

if you haven't ever been there

You have not seen the heaven on the earth!

We took a mattress from the rubbish,

two chairs and a table with three legs,

while I was sketching scores

you were frying potatoes.

We planted seeds of cannabis ketama

and a pot raised up to the window,

with a tree branch

of the knowledge of good and evil.

Eva liked tanning

and every afternoon was laying in the sun,

nobody ever had seen before a mermaid

so naked on a balcony.

Suddenly, there was a husband at each window

at the time my girl began her show

even if on TV in delayed coverage

there was Real Madrid vs. Benfica.

One day the snake from mezzanine

surprised his consort in a trance.

He did a stir, and phoned 092*.

And as we had no surnames,

nor vine leaves, nor a counsellor uncle,

and no Gods, except for Cupid

our protesting was useless.

Eva was sunbathing, what a blessed lack of control!

Kisses, onion and bread, what do you need more, Adam?

A judge who thought he was God ordered

our flat be sealed by a guardsman:

there is no place for two intruders in paradise!

We were naked on our mattress

playing our favorite game,

and as soon as the cops came in

Eva could not restrain a scream.

She was thrown down the stairs

by an angel disguised as a sheriff

regardless she was pregnant,

expecting his Cain.

Today Eva works in a supermarket

selling apples of the original sin.

I sing in Preciados street,

all the people call me Adam.
