Lyrics

Escalera

False lover plant a weed for me

In spring among prize flowers

And I will pay you back again

Through winter’s frozen showers

As snow and ice invade your heart

In hate you will be dressed

A cold east wind will break your neck

With sharp rain on your breast

They dragged the traitor through the streets

They hung him upside down

And he will long regret the day

He tried to buy the town

The King is already asleep

And now it’s past midnight

Still you have not come

Who is loving you tonight?

“I’m coming for what was promised.”

She let down a stairway of gold

He has climbed up it

They takе each other’s hands

And walk into the bеdroom

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Loving you tonight?

You tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight?

Who is loving you tonight? (In spring among prize flowers)

Quién amor puso contigo? (“I’m coming for what was promised.”)

Quién amor puso contigo? Quien te esta viviendo esta noche? (Quién amor puso contigo?)

Who is loving you tonight? (A cold east wind will break your neck) (Quien te esta viviendo-)

Who is loving you tonight? (They dragged the traitor through the streets) (-Esta noche?)

Quién amor puso contigo? (They hung him upside down)

(And he will long regret the day)

(He tried to buy the town.)
