Me doctoré en tus labios de ocasión
en una sórdida pensión de Leningrado
sin pasaporte y fuera de la ley
pero borracho como un rey desheredado
Cincuenta rublos era un potosí
y tu desnuda un maniquí de grana y oro
nos dieron llaves de la suite nupcial
que era un cuartucho de hospital? sin inodoro
Nos quedaba para un vodka con limón
cuando agonizó el palique, qué ansiedad,
te empecé a desabrochar la gabardina
No era fácil en la Unión Soviética
ir por condones a recepción
a años luz de la rutina
anidó una golondrina en mi balcón
No sé qué nos pasó ni cómo fue,
que nos cruzáramos aquella noche loca
balbuceamos cursiladas todo a cien
y rogamos descosiéndonos la bocanos matábamos de ganas de vivir
No dormir era más dulce que soñar
y envejecer con dignidad
una blasfemia
Tú con boina, yo con barba, viva el Che,
recién conversos a la fe del hombre nuevo
No había caído el Muro de Berlín
ni reventado el polvorín de Sarajevo
porque la revolución tenía un Talón de Aquiles al portador
Y flotando entre las ruinas
enviudó una golondrina en mi balcón
Ayer salías, morena, de un café
ya casi medio siglo que no te veía
eras rubia, si no recuerdo mal
Dije, y mintiendo, estás más guapa todavía
Me aceptaste una cerveza sin alcohol
Se nos había muerto el sol en los tejados
Funerales, y con nada que decir
Vi en tus pupilas un añil mal dibujado
No sé por qué sigo escribiendo esta canción
pero me sangra el corazón
cuando lo hurgo
Supe que te casaste con un juez
Y Leningrado es otra vez San Petesburgo
Ni siquiera comentamos si quedamos
pásame tu dirección
y de vuelta a la oficina
se estrelló una golondrina en mi balcón
Porque la revolución tenía un Talón de Aquiles al portador
y flotando entre las ruinas
enviudó una golondrina en mi balcón

Joaquín Sabina (nato Joaquín Ramón Martínez Sabina il 15 luglio 1949 a Úbeda, Spagna) è uno dei cantautori più influenti e amati della musica latina. Conosciuto per la sua poesia incisiva, le melodie accattivanti e la voce rauca, Sabina ha conquistato un pubblico vastissimo in tutta l'America Latina e nel mondo ibero-parlante. ???? Il suo percorso musicale inizia negli anni '60 con esperienze in gruppi rock e cantautori spagnoli. Nel 1975 pubblica il suo primo album, "Inventario", che lo introduce al pubblico spagnolo. Negli anni successivi, Sabina consolida la sua fama con album come "Malas compañías" (1982), "19 días y 500 noches" (1984) e "El viaje" (1989). Le sue canzoni spesso trattano temi sociali, politici e personali, sempre con un tocco di ironia e sarcasmo. Sabina è noto per le sue collaborazioni con altri artisti come Joan Manuel Serrat, Fito Páez e Miguel Ríos. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Y nos dieron las diez", "La Mandrágora", "Contigo" e "Pajarita de papel". Oltre alla musica, Sabina è anche un poeta di talento, con diverse raccolte di versi pubblicate.
