La Casa Nueva

Today we're celebrating
We have a new house
And we gotta party like it’s meant to be
There’s everything
Food, drinks, joy
So many people
And the house
The new house
Our house
The result of so many years filled with white sorrows

First the speeches
They congratulated me
They even took pictures of me hugging the old lady
Then, as expected
Nothing else matters
Only the drinks, the food, and the dancing

I watch from afar
My kids are all grown up
My daughter with her boyfriend, my son and his buddy
My wife with the dishes
And me with my drink, alone
In a corner I look for her
Hiding from everyone
Hey babe
Shall we dance?

What do all these people matter?
The house doesn’t matter, what matters is us
Take off your apron
I want to see you partying
Enough with the dishes, now you’re the queen
Drink from my glass like in the old days
I’ll drink from yours
Friends, friends

Let me dance with you the sweet joy of the last waltz
Love, love, love
Let me know it’s true that no one can take our happiness
Love, love, love

You know what?
There’s something I don’t get
I wanted a party with the kids, the grandkids
And so many people came that I had to look for you, as you see
Hiding away just to talk to you

I think
I think about what would happen if someone caught me secretly sharing my dark thoughts
The new house
What house?
This is a shack compared to others that are really houses
The new house, starting today
The old folks' house
To dance alone to an old waltz

Let me dance with you the sweet joy of the last waltz
Love, love, love
Let me know it’s true that no one can take our happiness
Love, love, love

Look, look, everyone’s gone
We’re left alone, see?
Just us, no kids
They leave, they leave happy
You’re getting older, I’m getting older and sadder
In the end, what does it matter?
Only God understands what’s going on
After all, my love
We have a new house

Let me dance with you the sweet joy of the last waltz
Love, love, love
Let me know it’s true that no one can take our happiness
Love, love, love
