Lyrics and translation Ana Belén - A la Sombra de un León (with Joaquín Sabina) [En Directo]




A la Sombra de un León (with Joaquín Sabina) [En Directo]
In the Shadow of a Lion (with Joaquín Sabina) [Live]
Llegó
She arrived
Con su espada de madera
With her wooden sword
Y zapatos de payaso
And clown shoes
A comerse la ciudad
To devour the city
Compró suerte en Doña Manolita
She bought luck at Doña Manolita's
Y al pasar por la Cibeles
And when she passed by Cibeles
Quiso sacarla a bailar un vals
She wanted to take her out to dance a waltz
Como dos enamorados
Like two lovers
Y dormirse acurrucados
And fall asleep curled up
A la sombra de un león
In the shadow of a lion
"¿Qué tal?
"How are you?
Estoy sola y sin marido
I'm alone and without a husband
Gracias por haber venido
Thank you for coming
A abrigarme el corazón."
To warm my heart."
Ayer
Yesterday
A la hora de la cena
At dinnertime
Descubrieron que faltaba
They discovered that he was missing
El enfermo 16
Patient 16
Tal vez
Perhaps
Disfrazado de enfermero
Disguised as a nurse
Se escapó de Ciempozuelos
He escaped from Ciempozuelos
Con su capirote de papel.
With his paper capirote.
A su estatua preferida
To his favorite statue
Un anillo de pedida
An engagement ring
Le mango en El Corte Inglés
He steals it at El Corte Inglés
Con él
With it
En el dedo al día siguiente
On her finger the next day
Vi a la novia del agente
I saw the policeman's girlfriend
Que lo vino a detener
Who came to arrest him
Cayó
He fell
Como un pájaro del árbol
Like a bird from a tree
Cuando sus labios de mármol
When her marble lips
Le obligaron a soltar
Forced him to let go
Quedó
There was
Un taxista que pasaba
A taxi driver passing by
Mudo al ver cómo empezaba
Dumbfounded to see how it began
La Cibeles a llorar
Cibeles to weep
Y chocó contra el Banco Central.
And she crashed into the Central Bank.
