Jorge Luis Borges
Amsterdam
[Intro: Jorge Luis Borges]
Quién es aquel violento
Y antiguo ser que roe los pilares
De la tierra y es uno y muchos mares
Y abismo y resplandor y azar y viento?
Quien lo mira lo ve por vez primera, siempre
Por vez primera, siempre
Por vez primera, siempre
Por vez primera, siempre
[Verse 1: Sofía Valdés & Jorge Luis Borges]
Driving 'round the East Coast, you keep lyin'
Trying to fix ourselves smoking
You're holding me with one hand
Past my curfew
Trouble's another thing we do
If we cut this shit, maybe we'll get through
Maybe we'll get through (Por vez primera, siempre)
[Pre-Chorus: Sofía Valdés]
Now every single bone is aching
And I don't know, I don't know
I don't know if I can take it
[Chorus: Sofía Valdés & Jorge Luis Borges]
Hoping you would stay
I was hoping you could wait for me
Oh, leave it all to me
Hope to see you 'round again
I hope to see you 'round again
(Por vez primera, siempre)
(Por vez primera, siempre)
[Verse 2: Sofía Valdés & Jorge Luis Borges]
Say you want me
Asked to pretend, now I'm drowning
In words that we tied our hands to
Do it only for you, ooh
Treating me like the friend you're in need of
Calling me up about this girl
Who's got money for pearls
Then you lend me your coat
When it rained in the sunshine
Stating you just wanted to hold me
But you've gone for the gold mine
(Por vez primera, siempre)
(Por vez primera, siempre)
[Pre-Chorus: Sofía Valdés]
Now every single bone is aching
And I don't know, I don't know
I don't know if I can take it
[Chorus: Sofía Valdés]
Hoping you would stay
I was hoping you could wait for me
Oh, leave it all to me
Hope to see you 'round again
I hope to see you 'round again
Hope to see you 'round again
[Outro: Jorge Luis Borges]
¿Quién es el mar, quién soy?
Lo sabré el día ulterior que sucede a la agonía
