Looking so bereaved and so bereft / Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands / The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

40 Dire Straits - Your latest trick
Brothers in Arms - 1985

Tu último truco en castellano. Este tema comienza con una trompeta y luego lo hace un saxofón.  Esta canción es ampliamente utilizada cuando la gente está probando saxos en tiendas de música. 





La vida del músico no tiene nada de romántico, ni es algo agradable, si no estas en la cima. Es bastante triste trabajar por unos pesos que no alcanzan. Con amores que no duran. Pensé que esa era la vida que quería (como muchos) pero al transitarla vi de que se trataba,  porque se toma tanto alcohol ... y porque es tan, pero tan solitaria esa vida.


All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves

Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax

You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the inteligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns

And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But not all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
