Andalucia de Akogarete

*poem before song

~After A Dream ~

In sleep, charmed by your image
I dreamed of happiness, a glowing mirage
Your eyes were gentler, your voice clear and strong
You shone like the sky lit by dawn
You called me, and I left the earth
To flee with you towards the light
The heavens opened for (the two of) us their clouds
Splendors unknown, divine brilliance glimpsed
Alas! Sad awakening from dreams
I call you: “O, night, give me back your lies!
Return in radiance once more
Return, oh mysterious night, once more”

*lyrics

I’m yearning for Andalucia
Dancing with a rose in my mouth
With Carmen from the underground bar
Tonight, at the Metro, a rendezvous

I put on my dark suit
And my stylish Borsalino hat
Just as I was putting on my nice shoes
The phone rang and stopped me

On the other end of the line was the Boss
He told me in a trembling voice
That things had become critical
The Tony guy messed things up

Stagary says we’ll settle this tonight at the harbor
At the no entry docking bay
Warehouse #3 at 8 o’clock

Someone please go tell my girl
She’s probably waiting there on the platform
Tell her that, although I’ll be a little late,
I’ll definitely get there, so please wait for me

(Inside the picture frame is a safe
I took out the gold hidden there
My hands are trembling
Surely, there’s no reason to be afraid

I got to the harbor by taxi
Even the Boss and the rest looked pale
When we noticed the atmosphere was strange
We had been surrounded

From the darkness, the machine guns
As if sneering, were fired
My Borsalino got hit and flew away
And I kissed the concrete floor)

An intense pain passes through my body
At lightning speed
The red blood that flows out
Reddens the hollow world

In my fading consciousness
I danced with Carmen
Under the blue sky of Andalucia
I heard the songs of Granada

Someone please go tell my girl
She’s probably waiting there on the platform
Tell her that, although I’ll be a little late,
I’ll definitely get there, so please wait for me
