Lyrics and translation Javier Krahe - Agua, Ajo Y Resina

Agua, Ajo Y Resina

Va de veras ya por fin,
Tu bella dama te ha dejado,
Te llegó tu San Martín.
Te lo temías, todo aquello se sopesa.
Te lo temías, pero vino por sorpresa.
Porque creías todo cuanto ella te decía.
Y te decía:
"Tú, tranquilo, nunca llegará ese día".
Tú, tranquilo. Pues ya está aquí:
Tu bella dama dice no
Donde ayer mismo dijo sí.
Y, claro, hay otro. De eso tú estabas en Babia.
Y, claro, hay otro y no te vale tu labia.
No la convences de que sigues siendo imprescindible
Y ella prescinde.
Y la vida se te está haciendo invivible.
Pero a ella no.
Hoy dice que su vida ya no se le escapa.
Creételo,
La prueba es que ahora está mucho más guapa.
Y eso se ve.
Se ve mucho. Está mejor.
Ha ido a la pelu y la han cambiado,
Debe ser champú-color.
Y se ha comprado un montón de ropa nueva.
Y se ha comprado todo lo que ahora se lleva.
Salta a la vista que no está a tu alcance arreglar nada.
Y, entre tus cuernos,
Vas tendiendo tu amargura y la colada.
Eso es todo. Entrénate
A aparentar que aún sigues vivo
Y confía en no sé qué.
Quizá algún día ella busque tu mirada.
Quizá algún día la amargura esté curada.
Va para largo, pero el tiempo trae su medicina
A cada uno.
Tú, hoy, confórmate con agua y ajo y resina.
Pero ella no.
Hoy dice que su vida ya no se le escapa.
Creételo,
La prueba es que ahora está mucho más guapa.
Y eso se ve.
(Javier Krahe)

Water, Garlic and Resin

It's really over now at last, my dear,
Your beautiful lady has left you,
Your Saint Martin's day has come.
You feared it, you weighed it all up.
You feared it, but it came as a surprise.
Because you believed everything she told you.
And she told you:
"You be calm, that day will never come".
You be calm. Well, here it is:
Your beautiful lady says no
Where yesterday she said yes.
And, of course, there's another. You were in a dream about that one.
And, of course, there's another and your words are of no use.
You can't convince her that you're still essential
And she does without.
And life is becoming unbearable for you.
But not for her.
Today she says her life is no longer slipping away.
Believe it,
The proof is that she's much prettier now.
And that's obvious.
It's very obvious. She's better off.
She's gone to the hairdresser and they've changed her,
It must be color shampoo.
And she's bought a lot of new clothes.
And she's bought everything that's in fashion now.
It's obvious that it's beyond your reach to fix anything.
And, between your cuckold's horns,
You spread your bitterness and your laundry.
That's all. Train yourself
To pretend you're still alive
And trust in I don't know what.
Maybe one day she'll look for your eyes.
Maybe one day the bitterness will be gone.
It will be a long time, but time will bring its medicine
For each one.
You, today, settle for water, garlic, and resin.
But not her.
Today she says her life is no longer slipping away.
Believe it,
The proof is that she's much prettier now.
And that's obvious.
