Текст и перевод песни Melendi - Desde que Estamos Juntos

Desde que Estamos Juntos

Yo estaba vestido de habanero
Tú dijiste adiós con la mirada
Mientras que sonaba un tal Romeo
En un balcón de la vieja Habana
No hay nada más perro que el amor
Porque muerde siempre antes que ladra
Me latió tan fuerte el corazón
Me dijiste "ven" desde la barra
Y yo te dije: "niña te invito a un mojito"
Tú me dejaste clarito que la cosa no iba así
(Oye la cosa no va así)
Y fue entonces, cuando le pedí a la virgen
De la caridad del pobre que intercediera por mí
(Ay, que intercediera por mí)
De repente, tú cambiaste de semblante
Me empezaste a ver galante
Y yo te dije: "eres mi atril"
Fuimos sólo dos extraños y han pasado ya diez años
Mi amor propio se quedó en los huesos
Que pinga contigo, me dijiste
Dejó de sonar el tal Romeo
Le llegó el turno a Silvio Rodríguez
Y a lomos de un unicornio azul
Te perdiste por el Malecón
Yo me hice la señal de la cruz
Tú no me dejaste otra elección
Y yo te dije: "niña te invito a un mojito"
Tú me dejaste clarito que la cosa no iba así
(Oye la cosa no va así)
Y fue entonces, cuando le pedí a la virgen
De la caridad del pobre que intercediera por mí
(Ay, que intercediera por mí)
De repente, tú cambiaste de semblante
Me empezaste a ver galante
Yo te dije eres mi atril
Luego, por fin, bailamos
Yo prometí no pisarte
Tú eras cien libras de arte y me empezaste a acalorar
(Tú me empezaste a acolorar)
Me volviste, mi amor, loco de remate
Tus labios de chocolate
Me invitaron a pecar
(Ay, me invitaron a pecar)
Y me dijiste: "no todas somos iguales"
Y mis manos ilegales comenzaron a temblar
Fuimos solo dos extraños y han pasado ya diez años
(Desde que estamos juntos)
Porque volví a buscarte
Yo te pedí perdón
Me hiciste arrodillarme
(Desde que estamos juntos)
Mi cielo, el de tu boca
Y a cinco bajo cero sigue estorbando la ropa
(Desde que estamos juntos)
Me muero por tus pecas
Me licencié en tus piernas
Y en tu piel tengo una beca
(Desde que estamos juntos)
Me ando quitando el sombrero
Que el de melocotón, ardiente
Como el ron, mi dulce flor de enero
(Desde que estamos juntos)
Oye que Cuba es Cuba, y lo demás boberías
Ay, con frecuencia cubana
Melendi llegó a la Habana
(Desde que estamos juntos)
Ay, por Dios
Se formó tremendo lío
Melendi, con sus amorío'
¿Quién lo iba a decir? ¡Melendi!
(Desde que estamos juntos)
Vente a la Habana a vivir, mi pana,
Ay, Dios
Candela, se formó la gozadera rumbera

Since We've Been Together

I was dressed as a habanero
You said goodbye with a glance
While a certain Romeo played
On a balcony in old Havana
There's nothing meaner than love
Because it always bites before it barks
My heart pounded so hard
You said "come here" from the bar
And I said to you: "My dear, I invite you to a mojito"
You made it clear to me that things weren't going that way
(Hey, things aren't going that way)
And it was then that I asked the Virgin
Of Charity of the Poor to intercede for me
(Oh, to intercede for me)
All of a sudden, you changed your expression
You began to see me as charming
And I said to you: "You're my music stand"
We were just two strangers, and it's been ten years now
My self-esteem was down to the bone
What a dick with you, you told me
That Romeo stopped playing
It was Silvio Rodríguez's turn
And on the back of a blue unicorn
You got lost on the Malecón
I made the sign of the cross
You didn't leave me any choice
And I said to you: "My dear, I invite you to a mojito"
You made it clear to me that things weren't going that way
(Hey, things aren't going that way)
And it was then that I asked the Virgin
Of Charity of the Poor to intercede for me
(Oh, to intercede for me)
All of a sudden, you changed your expression
You began to see me as charming
I told you you're my music stand
Then, finally, we danced
I promised not to step on your feet
You were a hundred pounds of art, and I started to get hot
(You started to make me blush)
You drove me absolutely crazy, my love
Your chocolate lips
Invited me to sin
(Oh, they invited me to sin)
And you said to me: "We're not all the same"
And my illegal hands started to tremble
We were just two strangers, and it's been ten years now
(Since we've been together)
Because I came looking for you again
I asked for your forgiveness
You made me kneel
(Since we've been together)
My heaven, your mouth
And at five below zero, the clothes are still in the way
(Since we've been together)
I'm crazy about your freckles
I earned a degree in your legs
And in your skin, I have a scholarship
(Since we've been together)
I take off my hat
That of peach, burning
Like rum, my sweet January flower
(Since we've been together)
Hey, Cuba is Cuba, and everything else is nonsense
Oh, with Cuban frequency
Melendi came to Havana
(Since we've been together)
Oh, my God
There was a huge mess
Melendi, with his love affairs
Who would have thought? Melendi!
(Since we've been together)
Come to Havana to live, my friend,
Oh, God
Fire, the rumba party started
