CINCO Minutos Con Vos |
| I stood at the kerb trying not to disturb |
| The dark carnival crew and a glittering voice |
| Far off there said, «Rejoice» |
| «As the casualties are but few» |
| Going to tell you now |
| Before I forget myself |
| I could let you loose |
| But the key won’t undo the lock |
| And the face of the clock |
| Seemed to merrily mock |
| These five minutes with you |
| Mi padre sabía |
| Y me lo susurro |
| Vete a Montevideo y espérame ahí |
| Por dónde empezar? |
| Escuchando siempre están |
| Por cinco minutos o mas |
| Si te atreves |
| La sirenas lamentan |
| La plaga que encuentran |
| Las balas caen |
| Y te harán desaparecer |
| El faro oscurece hay poca esperanza |
| Cinco minutos con vos |
| My father would know |
| So he whispered it low |
| «Go to Montevideo and wait for me there» |
| How can I begin? |
| They’re always listening in |
| For five minutes or more if you dare |
| Now the sirens wail |
| There is a fever in the winding sheets |
| And the bullets hail |
| And they pull you right off the streets |
| Our chances are slim but the searchlights will dim in five minutes for you |
| The propeller was droning, I woke up alone |
| They opened the door and they threw me through |
| And down I went down, like the twist of a screw |
| Down into the silver, above me the blue |
| And you stood there waiting but you never knew |
| Five Minutes With You |
| They can scatter the earth and find nothing of worth |
| Wipe out those years of triangular tears |
| The colours will fly |
| And the wild wind will cry I’m strapped to that mast |
| Knowing they wouldn’t last for |
| Five Minutes With You |
