It's maybe that I'm a bit tipsy, or maybe that I just love this song. Surelly you'll find it corny or quite cliched, but for me it's simply amazing... baby
Solitaire Cadillac (Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas; Translation by Dave The Rake)
I always wanted to go to L.A.
Leaving this city one day,
Getting through the sea with you
But time has passed sice you left me
And surely you have already forgotten me,
I don't know the adventures I'll run without you...
And now I'm seated here
At an old second hand Cadillac,
Besides the Mervellé, my city at my feet.
And a moment ago, here at Tibidabo's slope,
The last blonde who came to try
The rear seat left me
Maybe the Martini made me remember...
Baby, why didn't you phone again?
I thought I could easily forget you,
And still sometimes you see...
And when the blonde went away I've felt strange,
I've remained alone smoking a cigarrete,
Maybe I had a thought, long for you
And from this bend where I'm stopped at
I've surprisingly have seen me
Looking at your neighbourhood
Lights of the city have trapped me.
Dawn will surprise me
Slept and drunk in the Cadillac
Besides the palmtrees, sweet alone...
And people tell me that now you're a nice girl,
And I'm here all drunk in the Cadillac,
Bellow the palmtrees, sweet alone
Dawn will surprise me
Slept and drunk in the Cadillac
Besides the palmtrees, sweet alone...and you're not here
And people tell me that now you're a nice girl,
And I'm here all drunk in the Cadillac,
Bellow the palmtrees, sweet alone... and you're not here, BABY!!!!!
BABY!!!!!
You're not here, baby you're not here
You're not here, baby you're not here
Oh, baby, baby, baby, you're not here
You're never here, you're not here,
You're never here
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER
CADILLAC SOLITARIO (Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas)Siempre quise ir a L.A.
dejar un día esta ciudad.
Cruzar el mar en tu compañía.
Pero ya hace tiempo que me has dejado,
y probablemente me habrás olvidado.
No sé que aventuras correré sin ti...
Y ahora estoy aquí sentado
en un viejo Cadillac segunda mano,
junto al Mervellé,
a mis pies mi ciudad.
Y hace un momento que me ha dejado
aquí en la ladera del Tibidabo
la última rubia que vino a probar
el asiento de atrás.
Quizás el Martini me ha hecho recordar...
Nena, porqué no volviste a llamar.
Creí que podía olvidarte sin más
y aún a ratos ya ves...
Y al irse la rubia me he sentido extraño,
me he quedado solo fumando un cigarro.
Quizás he pensado, nostalgia de ti.
Y desde esta curva donde estoy parado
me he sorprendido mirando a tu barrio,
me han atrapado luces de ciudad.
El amanecer me sorprenderá
dormido, borracho, en el Cadillac,
junto las palmeras, cruce solitario.
Y dice la gente que ahora eres formal
y yo aquí borracho en el Cadillac,
bajo las palmeras, cruce solitario.
El amanecer me sorprenderá
dormido, borracho, en el Cadillac,
bajo las palmeras, cruce solitario.
Y dice la gente que ahora eres formal
y yo aquí borracho en el Cadillac,
bajo las palmeras, cruce solitario ...
y no estás tú ..
Y no estás tú... Y no estás tú... Y no estás tú...
