Diálogos de bar / agosto 2014

Estoy muerto. Muchos llevan ya un rato durmiendo. Yo acabo de fregar por última vez el suelo del bar.
Cada día cuesta más. La edad va haciendo mella. No tengo ni tanta fuerza ni tanta paciencia. Pero no me puedo quejar. Estas cuatro paredes siguen siendo el sustento para toda la familia. Todo vale la pena por ellos. Aguantar al borracho, soportar al quisquilloso, tragarse la lengua ante el insolente, humillarse ante el soberbio y servir, servir, servir… y limpiar, limpiar y limpiar… y adaptar un bar de más de 30 años a un mundo que se hace nuevo cada día.
Estoy muerto y no quedan más que 5 horas para empezar a morir de nuevo.

I’m exhausted. Many are sleeping a while. I have just washed the bar´s floor for the last time.
Each day it gets harder. Age is taking its toll. I haven´t got as much strength nor patience. But I can’t complain. These four walls are still the sustein for all the family. Everything is worthwhile for them. Bearing the drunken, putting up with the touchy, biting one’s tongue in front of the insolent, swallow your pride in the presence of the arrogant and serve, serve, serve… and clean, clean and clean… and adapt a bar over 30 years to a world that becomes new everyday.
I’m exhausted and there’s´s only 5 hours left to start dying again.

Somos la caña, juntas y revueltas, alrededor de una Mahou bien fresquita en este caluroso verano madrileño.

We are the best, boards and turns, around a well cool Mahou in this hot Madrid summer.
We feel comfortable at that boiling point that makes us see the world without burning this lovely big eyes that we have.
We are all the beautiful that can be those who know to be friends…

Bajas al bar y allí te creces. Te crees que eres ese que nunca has sido. Opinas de todos y de todo mientras te metes 2 ó 3 cañas en compañía de amigos desconocidos de barra. Cambiarías todo menos a ti mismo. Dirigirías el mundo a golpe de periódico deportivo, de cultura refrita del día anterior.

You go down to the bar and there you get all full of yourself. You think that you are that one you have never been. You give your opinion about everyone and everything while you drink 2 or 3 beers in company of bar unkown friends. You would change everything except yourself. You ́d manage the world at a sports newspaper blow, of yesterday’s rehash of culture.
Meanwhile I am waiting for you at home, alone, wondering when I stopped being the queen of your house.

– Perfect dimensions, aerodynamic curves, takes you from 0 to 100 in seconds, good performance, flashes the headlights so that you see her coming and the best is that she comes without brakes …
– Fuck Manolo… It sounds like you are selling a car…
– And the best is that you can try it before you buy it, ha, ha, ha, ha…
– You really should be for sale, Manolo… you really are a bargain.
