EL OCASO Y DULCINEA (cincuento de la triste figura) -- América: Sister Golden Hair

Anochece en un lugar de la Mancha. Envuelto en la luz rojiza, recostado en un pino, el Caballero de la Triste Figura teclea: <<Oh bella ingrata, amada enemiga mía>>. Un pájaro le distrae. Borra lo escrito y redacta de nuevo: <<Dulcinea, tengo reserva de mesa y habitación, por si ocaso>>.

Sister Golden Hair (lyrics):

Well, I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well, I tried to fake it, I don't mind saying, I just can't make it

Well, I keep on thinking 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you, can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well, I tried to fake it, I don't mind saying, I just can't make it

Doo wop doo wop, doo wop doo wop
