Cruz de navajas [English translation]

The bar 33 shuts down at 5 am

But Mario is not off until 6

And if he is the cashier that day, forget it

It almost always takes him until daybreak

While Maria is already awake

She tidied up the house

She even made coffee

And waits for him almost naked

Mario gets home tired and says hello

Without too much effort

He wants bed, but another kind

And Maria soaks her appetite in coffee

Muffins from a convex sex

Then she goes to work on a department store

When she get home there's only a mattress

A melancholic one, to be used in turns

(Chorus)

Knife's cross for a woman

Deadly blunts glow at dawn

Blood that stain purple the dawn

But since there's been a raid at the 33

Mario gets home at 10 to 5

On his empty street, far away, you can only see

A couple covering in kisses

And poor Mario wants to die

When he gets closer to find out

That is Maria with company

Chorus

Over Mario, facing down, three crosses

One in his forehead, the one that hurt the most

Another one on his chest, the one that killed him

And the newspaper lies about another one

"Two drug addicts in the middle of an anxiety attack

Rob and kill Mario Postigo

While his wife witness it

From the entrance hall"

Instead of knife's cross for a woman

Deadly blunts glow at dawn

Blood that stain purple the dawn
