Letra de Cruz de navajas (knife cross)

At five the bar at the 33rd closes,
but Mario doesn´t leave until six,
and if he also has to balance the till, forget about it:
almost always daylight gets him
while María is aready up;
she has done the house,
she has even made coffee
and waits for him half nude.

Mario gets home tired
and says hello with no excitement.
He wants the bed in a different way,
so, María dips her desires into the coffee
weeping out the thwarted sex.
Then she goes to work at the superstore
and when she comes back there´s nothing but a mattress
so melancholic, used in shifts.

A knife cross because of a woman,
deadly brightness at daybreak,
bloods dyeing dawn of purple.

But since there was a raid today at the 33rd
Mario comes back ten to five,
far away by the lonely street all he can see
is a couple of boyfriends eating each other kissing,
and then poor Mario wants to die
when he gets closer just to find out:
it´s María who has company.

A knife cross because of a woman,
deadly brightness at daybreak,
bloods dyeing dawn of purple.

On Mario falling flat on his face three crosses:
one on his forehead, the one that hurt the baddest.
another on his chest, the one that killed him,
and a third tells a lie on the news:
"Two junkies in frenzy
rob and kill Mario Postigo
while her wife is witness from her doorway."

Instead of a knife cross because of a woman,
deadly brightness at daybreak,
bloods dyeing dawn of purple.
